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.

He's very knowledgeable and friendly. Takes his time with you.

Don’t Ben late for an appointment or it will be canceled on you without trying to fit you in elsewhere. We come 25 minutes to this location, but when there are 2 people in the waiting room with multiple doctors, and the staff member she are nasty, even after 6 years of being a patient, we will be finding a new practice . Summit Medical is getting less and less personable, sadly.

Dr. Kornfeld has been my daughter's pediatrician for 20 years. He is very caring, listens to patient/parent concerns and is very knowledgeable. He explains his recommendations thoroughly and the reason behind them. Excellent bedside manner. We actually followed him to Summit Medical Group from his prior practice. We have not had a bad experience with any Dr. he has referred us to e.g., dermatologist, orthopedist, etc. He is amazing!

I would not recommend Dr.Kornfeld at all for below reasons: 1. He sometimes gives recommendations or instructions that are against his own prior recommendations. Either poor memory or lacking of medical knowledge. 2. He does not give proper or sufficient information on some medical questions such as side effects of vaccines etc. 2. He never does followup, doesn't seem to care about the patient, cold and impatient.
