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.

Excellent, the BEST!
Very knowledgeable, caring, on top of my health!

Do not see this woman, especially if you have any kind of mental illness. She is the poster child for stigma in medicine. She sent lab work to my psychiatrist with all kinds of nasty things written on it. He was floored. She also interrupts me during appointments, talks over my questions, charges me $500, and then demands a separate “consultation” with me for my PCOS. It’s like she thinks I’m stupid. I am a grown woman. Stigma is real. Don’t bother with this practice. It’s NYC. You can find somewhere better.

I have been a patient of Dr. Kirsch for more than 20 years. She saw me through my single years, two pregnancies and now almost peri-menopause. She is kind, cautious, and extremely knowledgeable. She patiently walks me through any issues, knowing I get a little anxious, and shows compassion. She always asks about me, and listens to the answer. She returns calls, follows-up, and makes any referral required. The staff is wonderful, the wait it short, and the office is immaculate.

I've been a patient of Dr Kirsch for about 20 years and have always received excellent care. Any problems I've had, she would listen carefully, diagnosis and effectively treat. She is very direct and takes the time to answer my questions. I never have to wait long in the waiting room, the staff is cordial and very professional, the office and wait rooms are spotless. All-around lovely practice.

Dr. Kirsch is one in a million. Brilliant, empathetic, practical, warm and immensely talented. She saw me through 2 high risk pregnancies, menopause, a thousand cases of urethral syndrome, and alway took the extra time and effort to follow up when my treat required a referral to another doctor. Outstanding, super talented and intuitive. I feel so lucky to call her my doctor!

Only spent 15mins tops with the doctor who charged 400 bucks! Front desk is incompetent, took vials of blood specimen but did not send to lab. It's a scam.
