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. Eric Wechsler is an expert in his field. He is very knowledgeable and answers all questions I had. Him and his staff are all competent, patient and kind. He approaches a patient as a whole, not just the medical issue at hand. Would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a top of the line Nephrologist.

Dr. Wechsler is an incredible nephrologist. He has helped my family multiple times understand the complexities of the kidneys and other biological systems. He is also very compassionate. We've used him for 20 years. He is one of the best kidney doctors in the United States.

Unfortunately, I have too much experience with Doctors, but I have to say I think Eric is the best Doctor I've ever had. Not only is very knowledgeable, he was patient, kind and extremely responsive. It is such a great feeling to know that you have a Doctor that truly cares. Thank you so much Dr. Wechsler!

Dr Wechsler is unprofessional, rude and has the most disorganized and inefficient office systems. I thought he was a frazzled and angry assistant as he didn't introduce himself and had shockingly poor communication skills.

Dr. Wechsler is a wonderful, kind, compassionate and extremely competent doctor. Everyone in his practice helped to get me through my kidney failure. With their expert care my kidneys improved so dramatically that I could stop dialysis. I am extremely grateful for their care.
