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.

My Mom had early stage of lung cancer at her age of 86. Dr. Kaufman cured my Mom's illness with minimal invasive procedure approach. The procedure was very successful and effective. Many thanks to Dr. Kaufman.

Dr.Kaufman is one of the nicest and knowledgable doctors I have ever met. He went into great detail at my first consultation and explained everything on my MRI. He Is what every doctors should aspire to. He shows great respect for his patients and clearly knows how to make you feel comfortable when discussing such delicate diagnoses. I would rate him 10 stars.

Terrible experience. Didn't listen to me and din't take the time to review my medical record. Also, promised to follow-up with me but never did even when I left several messages with his office staff
