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. Best has helped keep me and my wife healthy for years. He does not over-medicate us, listens to our complaints (when we have any, and has a friendly, efficient staff.

been all over the island looking for a decent compassionate Dr...Dr Best is the one !!! Awesome ...very low key..no drama....just my style. Dr Best is NOT a drama kinda guy and has common sense..unlike MOST Dr's I have seen. Yeah for the day I found him !! And I am NOT an easy personality to deal with and he does it with humor and patience. !!!

Whenever I need to make an appointment it's never a problem The staff are courteous, professional and caring Dr Best has always been on point with my medical conditions and treatment (which are many) I can ask him anything and not feel embarrassed There are many primary care physicians in Suffolk County, but I choose to travel from Patchogue to Pt Jefferson to receive care Why ? Because just like his name, he truly is "The Best"
