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 doctor
I had two issues over the last 15 years, the last was in 2016, a knee issue. His recommendation, and care, helped me tremendously, and to this day, my knee is doing well.

Following up on Dr Rockower’s response- completely false Look at the other reviews; I welcome any any challenge to the duration of my time there as clearly documented within the patient portal and to the other responses. I still have been waiting for weeks for an answer about the mistake with the Xrays, and why another wasn’t taken on site

Horrible attitude! Said something rude to me and when I reacted in shock he said a very sarcastic "sorry." Rushed appointment and didn't seem to want to listen.

He is the best. Following my pedestrian accident in 2001, he was the doctor that attended to me and continued onto few years afterward. He was very caring, loving, down-to-heart, and the nicest human person. At the time of the accident, I did not have an insurance, yet that did not deface Dr. Rockower from giving me the utmost or best treatment. His and possibly others in the emergency room following my accident saved my life. I will be ever grateful to him and others at Suburban Hospital, Bethe
