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.

Dr. Epstein is a very kind doctor and goes out of his way to help patients to the best of his ability. The New Jersey and Brooklyn staff are different however, and that is where one might see an issue. My family have been seen as patients at both locations. The nurses in the New Jersey location are absolute angels and work very hard and diligently with the doctor, providing a wonderfully helpful experience. However, in Brooklyn, IRYNA, if that is actually her real name, is one of the most rude and vile characters our family has ever come across. The doctor should be aware of who is representing him at the front office. My husband and I, as well as my sister and her son, have never been treated so cold and disgustingly by someone that should be providing help in your time of need, and they were on separate occasions! Therefore, this is simply her normal behavior, to yell and be nasty to people. Our family have never given a bad review before, but her behavior is inexcusable! Train!

Dr. Epstein is a very knowledgeable doctor. When I first started as a patient of Dr. Epstein, I was very impressed with his wealth of knowledge and his ability to take his time to explain to his patients what is going on with their health. Most doctors rush you through the appointment and fail to explain things to their patient. Not Dr. Epstein; he takes his time and makes you feel very comfortable with his care. I am an anatomy & physiology professor and feel very confident in his care!

Dr.Epstein has a compassion and commitment to patient care. He is an excellent diagnostician and has treated both my husband and myself. My Husbands early diagnosis of diabetes and following Dr. Epstein's treatment plan and continued care , has allowed him to stay medication free. Dr. Epstein is the true definition of a family care physician with extraordinary kindness and concern for his patients.

Dr. Epstein is the best family doctor I know. Very meticulous and knowledgeable. From examining my heartburn to fixing my back pain to talking to my teenage daughter about potential medical career, he's our go-to person for anything medical. When he sends us to specialists, he follows through and is available on-call even on weekends and on vacation. The stuff is nice and professional, paperwork is reduced to a minimum, prescriptions are directed to our pharmacy and ready by time we get home.

Found Dr Epstein when looking for a new family Dr. My husband and I have been going there for a little over 3 years and are very satisfied. Actually my mother in law who was looking for a new physician became his patient and she seems very happy too. His assistant Irina is also very kind and helpful, a lovely person! They are very easy and flexible to work with, very accommodating.

Boris is the worst dr I've ever been to. He is uncompassionate and has no empathy for his patients. Being that he was my primary dr, I went to him for a referral to have my eye removed due to excruciating pain caused by an infection. Not only did he refuse to help me with the pain, he lied to me about faxing a referral to university hospital in Newark TWICE!!! Then left me in pain (no referral) while he went on vacation!! I've informed the med examiners that he is not a dermatologist and ins com

Dr.Epstein was my mom's PCP. She was happy with him up until last year. They became very money hungry. The last straw was the doctor could not find the time to call my mom's insurance, for 2 weeks, to answer a few questions, as a last step in them approving her diabetes meds. Her sugar has been through the roof, she has been feeling horrible on the new drugs. We finally got the insurance to approve the no longer covered drug, and the doctor could not find the time to call? Unprofessional!

the receptionist does not know what they are doing. They will mess your documents up and make you wait for hours to no avail.
