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.

Good service but for some reason have a suspicious MMI diagnosis. Saw him twice, and at both points I had the same amount of treatment, but the first appointment he said with the correct kind of treatment he could see me getting better. Fast forward 4 or 5 months to the next appointment to which I had no treatment since the last time I saw him but now he gave me a diagnosis of MMI. Odd how he got that and basically telling me one thing and doing another. Put me and my family and my job at a serious risk of being let go.

Dr. Garfinkle is awesome! He repaired my right hand when I broke it at the age of 14. Fast forward to a ripe ole age of 47 and he repaired my right knee. I work out 5-days a week and have no issues. He's knowledgeable, approachable and a great sense of humor. Oh, he also did my younger sisters arm when she was young. I would recommend him and his staff 100%.

He has an arrogant attitude about him that didn't sit well with me.

I initially saw Dr. Garfinkel for ligament damage to my right hand and wrist. He was very patient explaining to me, in a way I could understand, my injury and the options I had for treatment. I feel that Dr. Garfinkel, like no other doctor I’ve seen, had my recovery as his top priority. His staff is awesome! Always positive, cheerful and willing to accommodate my schedule for appointments. I would recommend Dr. Garfinkel for anyone who appreciates quality care in a friendly and professional office.
