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.

The best nephrologist, I ever met
Nice Dr. Boiskin is very knowledgeable and pays attention to every detail regarding my health. He takes care of my husband and I for the last seven years. We are really pleased with the care we receive. I strongly recommend this nephrologist to everyone who is in need to see a kidney specialist!

Dr. Boiskin's staff are very cordial. My waiting time was minimal. Dr. Boiskin has a wonderful bedside manner and was very thorough explaining to me my situation. He spent an extraordinary amount of time with me, probably more than any other doctor I've seen in recent memory. He gets 5 stars in my book.

Dr Boiskin is very friendly and understanding. His knowledge of my kidney problem was dead on, and continue to offer the conservative care that I like to have. We was not eager to offer pills and unnecessary procedures to make it appear that he was doing something for me as most patents are a custom to receiving at a Dr visit. Everything that he told me was comforting and at a competency level that My family and I could understand. The Dr. welcomes your every question. I will recommend him.
