Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My review didn't fit,so heres a short version.On 7/31/2019 comp sent me to see Dr Alan Crystal 974 52nd street for a second opinion.Place was dirty,full of webs and smelled like cat urine.Receptionist was screaming at someone on the phone,then slams the phone.He screamed at my wife because she was coming in the room with me,He SCREAMED "you are not allowed" He said my ankle was swollen.I asked if physical therapy would help.He started SCREAMING again saying "Why are you asking me questions,you are not allowed to ask questions"Then he left the room.Then the receptionist started screaming at me for asking questions.I got yelled at about 5 times for different things.Then when it was over he said"you asked for my advice,lose some weight. I never met such a nasty doctor so I looked him up online.Search this "BONE DOC SHATTERED LIVES BUT CRIPPLED PATIENTS BLINDSIDED BY MEDICAL SECRECY RULES"
