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.

Grateful
I wanted to express my deep gratitude for the outstanding care and attention Dr. Dolberg provided during my case. His expertise and dedication truly made a difference, and I’m incredibly thankful for the way he handled everything with such professionalism and compassion. Thank you, Dr. Dolberg, for your exceptional support!

Since the first visit Dr. Dolberg has been most professional and expertly steered my dad from Stage Four Cancer to being Cancer free. I would sincerely recommend anyone to have him be their doctor. Thank you Dr. Dolberg for your care.

I was referred to Dr. Dolberg by my GYN. I waited over 3 weeks to be seen but gladly waited as I trust my GYN's recommendation. Upon arriving to my appointment, I was checked in and seen by the nurse in less than 10 minutes. I waited in the exam room for about 15 minutes and then overheard Dr. Dolberg speaking with someone expressing his concerns with his obligations and that he is overwhelmed and can not add anything else to his plate. He then walked in and introduced himself to me without explaining to me that he would have a student with him and did not introduce the student. He asked me about my medical concerns. I expressed to him that I had prior surgeries and provided the medical records. He did not take care to evaluate my medical records even though I stressed it. He proceeded by doing a physical examination and explained what he was doing prior to him doing it. Once completed, he made a determination. My husband and I proceeded to ask him a series of questions regarding his recommendations for the procedure. He displayed impatience and frustration when answering our questions. He was short and quite irritated. Being a woman of African decent, I have faced several doctors who did not approach me with respect regarding my health. I have felt unheard and was treated as if I did not matter. Because of my experiences, I am very particular about who I hire to care for me, especially if I require surgery. To me, energy is everything and the fact that Dr. Dolberg did not treat me or my concerns with the energy of care and patience, I have chosen to seek another physician that I feel hears me and truly cares for my well-being. Overall, I do not feel like he was a good match for my medical care and I will not be referring anyone to him due to his lack of Bedside manners, patience, and attitude.

Caring, professional doctor and wonderful staff
I was referred to Dr Dolberg by another physician with high recommendations. I have found him to be kind, compassionate and an excellent surgeon. The entire staff is amazing and responsive which is very important when a patient is feeling anxious.

I work in the same hospital as Dr. Dolberg and work him on a professional level caring for patients. He is my colleague whom I trust when I have issues in his area of expertise. He is knowledgeable, professional and truly cares about his patients. I see this on a daily basis. I recommend him to anyone needing his services, skills, or help.

Dr. Dolberg and the staff at his office are the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with. I went in for a pilonidal cyst that has grown back after being surgically removed two other times with different physicians. Every person working in the office was very focused on their work but would not hesitate to answer any of your questions or concerns. Dr. Dolberg himself took the time to explain the procedure he would be performing, simplified it with a drawing on a piece of paper and he also has a Youtube channel where I could see the same procedure being done! Dr. Dolberg and his staff did an excellent job making me feel safe, informed, and most importantly, taking care of the pilonidal cyst.

Excruciating Experience! Recently, Dr. Dolberg performed a procedure on me without waiting for the local anesthesia to take effect. He showed no compassion, though I was screaming in pain – just kept proceeding. Afterwards he promptly left the examination room, telling me only to make another appointment - not giving me any information on wound care or anything else. I canceled my upcoming surgery with him.

Came in for what I thought was either a fissure or a fistula but felt rushed, I did not feel as if he was certain on what needed to be done as he could not even see the track but was quick to jump to surgery. Seems like a very nice guy but I like things explained and to have an idea what is wrong before I just get cut open. Considering I did not have any other test done. Just felt very rushed so I canceled the surgery but now here I am still dealing with this issue.

Dr. Michael E Dolberg is an excellent and very professional surgeon with a lot of dedication. He cares about his patients very much and wants always the best for them. The coordination of the staff of surgery according to the experiences that I had the is due to the communication being unsatisfactory in all aspects, lack of professionalism, and not having the dedication to treat patients kindly having sincerity. For example, about any inconvenience and about any concern or asking how to explain. For example, because changes are made in surgeries, try to find possible options is not well for the patient's peace of mind. If there are not, then the patient feels comfortable with whether other opinions were sought.

He is amazing!!! Very professional and great at his job. I had an abscess in the same spot removed 2 times from different doctors and he is the first one to tell me I need the fistula removed so it doesnt come back again. After dealing with abcess for almost 13 years its finally coming to an end and my life will be normal again. Dr. Dolberg is top notch and I highly recomend him
