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.

Patient-centered, listens, kind, caring and knowledgeable. Excellent doctor!

Very attentive and caring doctor. No other doctor I've had calls me personally with test results and treatment plans. Wish I didn't have to see an endocrinologist at all of course, but boy am I glad for Dr. Bakst. My experience with his practice as a whole has been great.

I was lucky enough to be his patient. Dr. Bakst is truly care doctor. Just all his recommendations truly worked for me and he was always happy and proud of all my success with my every appointment. Being always untrustfull person, he change my doubts of trust. All my co-workers, my family, friends, agreed , he did changed my diagnosis. I do not have pre-diabetis diagnosis any longer. On tope of this, I lost some weight . Thank you Dr. Bakst being a really great Specialist.
