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.

No communication. Can be arrogant.

I am a physician for 44 years certified in the practice of Internal Medicine. Dr. Arbesfeld has ben my personal Cardiologist for 25 years and I can state without reservation that he is one of the most superior physicians I have ever encounterd. His fund of medical knowledge is superb and his personal behavior beyond reproach. He treats each patient with kindness and civility as does his staff and his office is meticulously clean. He is highly and deservedly respected by the entire medical community. I was the Sr. Medical Director for both Empire Blue Cross-Blue Shield and Emblem Health and was thus greatly involved in evaluating the quality of care of thousands of of physicians. Dr. Arbesfeld would rank at the pinnacle of my list. He is a a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology and has published in the scholarly journal Cardiology and is cited by 26 other scholarly journals. I have referred him to my closest family member who concur with my excellent opinion od Dr. Arbesfeld.

He should have retired long ago. Avoid his practice. In my case, he missed obvious signs of cardiac disease. The day he said "I was fine", I wound up in the emergency room and had a pacemaker inserted.
