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.

Wonderful caring Doctor

Dr. Nathanson is a fantastic doctor and person. I was having a problem. He quickly saw me and called me that night with results. He is caring and attentive. More doctors should be like him.

He was wonderful. He is exactly what one would want in a doctor. I was raped in the past, but made me feel completely at ease. I had both of my children by him and had a miscarriage as well. He is not only very smart, but very compassionate. My daughter is almost 20 1/2 and my son is almost 19. He also is not afraid to say that he doesn't have the answer. He is a great listener. I don't live in New York any more, but I haven't forgotten him!
