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.

Great all around
I needed a pulmonary exam done for the military because of my asthma and Dr. Waksman was very kind (and funny) he explained my test results clearly and was very personable and understanding. I dont like hospitals , doctor visits etc but he made the visit less stressful and a good experience, especially after the long grueling day I had at MEPS that day.

Great Listener, Very Knowledgeable!
Dr. Waksman was patient and understanding of my medical condition. He listened carefully and actually appeared concern for the issues I laid out to him. I appreciated his attentiveness. He even suggested we look at my disease from a perspective I didn’t even know existed. My appointment was an all-round success and I finally feel like I’m getting the treatment that I’ve always needed.

Excellent physician
Dr. Waksman always takes the time to explain your health in terms average folk can understand. I have never had a visit with him that left me with unanswered questions. He never rushes anyone through a visit. He is very personable. He is a rose amongst the thorns as far as physicians go.

This place is great and the doctor is great
They were very thorough and competent. They spent enough time with me, and enough time before they even saw me, reviewing my records. Dr. Howard Waksman is the best doctor I've ever seen in my 77 years of life.

My 78 year old father went to him for some issues. Dr. Waksman ordered a test for him to get done. For the follow up my father went and the doctor asked him why he was there. Really??? My dad explained it was a follow up for the test. Dr. Waksman began to belittle my father bc he could not remember the name of the test. YOU ordered the test!!! Look in his chart!!! Better yet, review your patients charts BEFORE you walk in the room so you are familiar with them. My dad was trying to ask questions bc he's sincerely concerned with his health issues but this man could not have cared any less. He dismissed the concerns and instead told my dad he'd print out two copies of the visit summery, one for him and one to give to his wife when he gets one foot in the door at home and she starts asking a million questions. WHAT??!! What professional talk to a 78 year old man like that? Yes, my mother is going to ask questions. She's concerned abut his health as well, so why wouldn't she ask.
