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.

An Individualized Approach
After dealing with the major New York City medical institutions for consults and treatment ( Lenox Hill, NYU, Mt Sinai, Sloan), I fortunately found Dr Azriel Hirschfeld and his staff of nurses and PA’s who sees you as an individual. No more stressing over unreturned phone calls and long waits for treatment. Every patient is special. Phone calls are answered immediately or during no working hours returned promptly. My frustration with the large institutions was removed with personalized care. Dr Azriel Hirschfeld is brilliant and caring. His staff is kind and knowledgeable. He thinks out of the box. He is a keeper.

A brilliant caring human being
Dr Hirschfeld's claim that "your problem is now my problem" is not empty rhetoric. He surrounds his patients with caring, empathetic and knowledgeable professional staff who give nutritional advice and other useful tidbits in how to live with cancer, chemo and its side effects. His demeanor oozes hope and encouragement; he wants his patients to live life as best they can instead of just waiting in a holding pattern. And when the "common protocol" isn't enough, he is smart and fearless enough to find gentle solutions from other directions. Whoever has heard that I'm his patient tells me "you're in the best possible hands" and I couldn't agree more!

If you are looking for a doctor that will treat you as an individual and not a statistic Dr. Hirschfeld is the one! My father was diagnosed with stage IV stomach cancer in December 2016 at the age of 57. With his kindness and brilliance Dr. Hirschfeld approached the disease with an individualized treatment plan, and my father is currently cancer free. He is a doctor that will never give up on his patients and will always try everything possible!

Many others had died during this period. My father looks forward to a day of fulfillment every morning.

It has been an unbelievable experience working with Dr. Hirschfeld. His medical knowledge and expertise are unmatched. Yet he looks at the patient with a kind heart and fights for his patients lives as if they were his own family. To have such a brilliant doctor and a kind caring person take care of us, made this horrible nightmare, that much easier. And for that we will always be grateful. Dr Hirschfeld went way past his call of duty!!!! He is a fabulous Doctor, and foremost the nicest man I ev

I had stage 4 pancreatic cancer with many tumors in the liver. I started treatment with Dr. Hirschfeld in September 2014 and I am now in remission. My last scan was in November 2017 and I am still in remission. I am so grateful to Dr. Hirschfeld for his expertise and his personalized care. I am grateful that the low dose chemotherapy that I have been taking for over 3 years has allowed me to continue working and traveling. Abraham K

Great compassionate patient centered care. When walking in to the clinic it feels more like a lobby of a boutique hotel rather than a medical clinic. The rapport and empathy That Dr Hirshfield shows to his patients is second to none he makes you feel like you’re his only patient and you are his family he has all the time in the world and will not finish his consultation until every question was answered to the patients satisfaction.
