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 Besser is great! He makes you feel comfortable taking his time answering questions. He is very empathetic. I really love this practice.

Very knowledgeable and caring doctor
Dr Besser’s office was able to see me on short notice for a medical problem before an overseas trip. He quickly diagnosed my condition and prescribed medication. He also took time to speak with me and answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend him.

Amazing doctor! Definitely recommend!
I absolutely love Dr Besser! I’ve had a rocky start to finding an OBGYN when I turned 18, but I’ve been seeing him for several years now and every time I see him it’s an absolute delight. He is super kind and sincere, and listens to you and any concerns you might have. I recommend Dr Besser without a doubt.

Excellent care!!
Dr. Besser is very thoughtful and kind and takes the time to review everything so you never feel rushed at appointments. He delivered both my children and has provided gynecological care for 25-plus years to me. I am very grateful to be in such experienced hands, and everyone who works in his office is very professional and kind.

Dr Besser is one part of my health care an the Dr whom I see for my annual gyn appointment. Years ago as I searched for a gynecologist I was referred to Dr Besser by a nurse in labor/delivery, these are the best referrals as peers are the people who can best tell a person what someone is like professionally. I had heard of Dr Besser every time I asked and so he became my gynecologist 20+ years ago seeing me through perimenopause and post menopause. The template doesn't exist for knowing what the normal is for each one of us. Dr Besser has always been respectful, compassionate, patient and highly knowledgable and given me a sense of calmness in what is usually an anxiety producing moment once a year. His staff from reception, to his nurse Ali have always been a great part of that place where I can come and be reassured... be it the mamogram or the actual exam. I wish Dr Besser and staff could be bottled and made availabe to every woman in need of the best gyn care.
