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.

Old school is a plus or minus
Good doctor but to old school for me. It's great he gives you his cell phone and calls back, but he tells you don't send messages to him via My Chart NYU app the hospital he is affiliated with, which makes things so much easier as you may not be available for his return call. He is very thorough as far as tests etc. I have mixed feelings to be honest and pretty neutral. Your call. He is also much older than the picture shown which explains the old school approach which for some is a plus because of experience.
