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.

6 Stars if possible!!
If I could leave 6 stars, I would. I just had Hernia repair with Dr Halpern and his expertise, care, kindness and compassion are unmatched… His staff was exceptional throughout the entire process from start to finish…. Thank you for the exceptional care and highly recommended !!!!

An Exceptional Experience with Dr. Halpern
A wonderful experience with Dr. Halpern from A-Z. Between his level of care, compassionate nature and the end result of a successful surgery, I was delighted to be his patient. If you live on Long Island you are spoiled to be have access to Dr. Halpern and NYU Langone. I would recommend anyone to him.

Your search for a Top doctor stops here !
Dr. Halpern takes the time to 'listen' to your complaints. Will allow you to talk, without being cut off or rushed. I have hernia mesh complications, where I had 4 major surgeries in a 3 year span. (2018 to 2021). A year ago, I traveled from TN to Long Island to have another double hernia surgery. I no longer can have permanent mesh put into my groin. Too much tissue damage. So, Dr. Halpern obtained the assistance of another Top surgeon from the Bronx to complete a very complicated surgery where dissolvable mesh was put into both sides of my groin to rpr. my damage. Soft spoken and very professional. Important as well, his staff is amazing. Good luck.

Highly Recommended
I had my first ever surgery today with Dr.Halpern. I was nervous but he took the extra time to speak with me and make me feel comfortable. He even called me while on vacation to explain my test results before the procedure. I have friends who work for NYU Langone and Dr.Halpern has the reputation of a surgeon that doctors and nurses use for themselves when needed. Today’s procedure went smoothly and I’m home resting comfortably. Thank you Dr.Halpern!

Super nice, decent human being, & highly competent
Dr. Halpern repaired my inguinal hernia. I opted for open repair because of underlying issues. I honestly never write reviews but I felt obliged in this case. As a physician myself, I am aware of the indifference that many physicians display in an ever more technology-driven profession. Not so, Dr. Halpern. My experience with him was a breath of fresh air. He is not only highly competent but caring as well.

Dr. Halpern performed minimally invasive hernia repair surgery on me 2-1/2 months ago, now all of three hernias: two on inguinal and one on incision get disappeared. It's amazing! Highly recommend.

How can a Physician ethically write about another Physician; especially write about this Physician in an "Online Setting" - I certainly can. Dr. David Halpern is truly a gentleman and an exceptional Surgeon. This talented Surgeon is truly as rare as the most precious gem. To encounter such a compassionate and down to earth human who possesses the highest and post prodigious technical skill is an opportunity that one does not come across often in our lives. I have trusted Dr. Halpern to operate o

Very thorough and explains issues clearly. Although initially can seem a little distant he is actually very caring. Sometimes the wait is a little long but he is a doctor so there are going to be emergencies which can delay things. However, he does not rush you once you are seen.
