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.

appointments involved invasive questions
This guy never listened to me. I unknowingly chose him because he happened to be located near me. However, I shouldn't have went to him for as long as I did.He even made ignorant close minded remarks about how I was as a person. That was uncalled for and not his business. It was also very difficult to get a referral to see a specialist from his office . He's the one who needs to see a psychologist. I got annoying Dr Phil vibes from him. Very invasive and ignorant towards a vulnerable and suffering patient.

I am always able to get an appoinment when needed. Never are told to come in two weeks when I am sick. Wait times are never long, I feel that I am in and out of the office in an hour or less. I've known the doctor and receptionists for a very long time. Great people!

Dr. Schecter is good, however, dealing with his nurse, Diana is exhausting. She never lets you speak. She just continues to go on and on, and does not listen to what you are trying to tell her. She is ignorant and rude. She is also the main reason that myself and my family are leaving this practice.
