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.

Believe it or not I worked for Dr Schecter many many yrs ago He had such professionalism with his patients. He cared more than anyone really knew. I hope his move from Scranton Pa was the best for him. He’s been gone for 30+ yrs and I wish him continued sucess. I was his Medical assistant back in the early 90”s. Boy we’re old.

Dr. Shechter has treated my husband for 12 years. He is comfortable to be with listens and takes time to truly understand what is being said. He detected a heart problem in 2007 and immediately put together a team for open heart surgery. Both my husband and I highly recommend Dr. Schechter we owe him my husband's life.

RUDE! When we asked questions about newly prescribed medication, he acted like we were supposed to know the medical terms he was using. When asked to clarify, he just glared. Did not return for further advised medical tests. Will never put myself in this uncomfortable and demeaning position with him again. Cancelled all care and appointments with him. Looking for new provider.
