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.

Dr. Youdelman saved my life (I suspect I ruined his New Years Eve in the process for 2014-2015, - sorry man!) Among the most intelligent and gifted people that I have ever had the luck to cross paths with. I was privileged to be under his care during my aortic dissection. The man is a superior surgeon. His modesty belies his talents. Don't doubt for a minute his capabilities and proficiency as an innovative and gifted medical professional! And should you be fortunate enough you might catch an earful of his musical talent at the piano - if there's one around. (Dr. Youdelman, even though I was rather "out of it" I know that was you I was hearing!...and it was beautiful, soothing and much appreciated at time of great stress, thank you.) Kevin. P.S. The first time I met you in the CT room I thought you reminded me of some composer. Yes, Prokofiev but younger, perhaps it was the Versed, but I knew you were musical some how...I could see it. What ever, I'de be gone if not for Dr. Youdelman.

Dr. Youdelman is truly a gifted doctor. My wife was diagnosed with an ascending aortic aneurysm and our PCP refer us to Dr. Malik who in turn refer us to Dr. Youdelman. I would like to publicly express our gratitude for the amazing treatment from Dr. Youdelman and all the staff at Maimonides. Dr. Youdelman and his surgical team did an incredible job on my wife's procedure and now she is at home recovering very well. Thanks for doctors like Dr. Youdelman, he is an asset to his profession.

My experience with Dr Youdelmans was wonderful. He was extremely helpful to my three children spending so much tIme with them explaining that my problems were hereditary and how they should all go and be tested. He was wonderful to me and operated on my anyuersm on my aorta. He saved my life! I love him and he is my favorite doctor of all times.
