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.

Impressed and relieved!
Ive been putting off having surgery on my thyroid for years because of all the horror stories until I met Dr Yozawitz.He made me completely at ease with his calming nature and expertise.My surgery could not have gone smoother and I had no pain or issues with my voice which was one of my main concerns. If anyone is in need of an excellent thyroid surgeon he is truly in a league of his own

Amazing human being
I saw Dr Yozawitz today ! Originally I was referred to see Dr Alfonso but i am so happy i got to see Dr Yozawitz instead. His way to approach his patients is absolutely incredible. He explained everything to me in a very detailed manner. All my questions were very well heard and answered. I have never seen a Doctor who is so much detail oriented and willingly cover all the possible pros and cons and potential risk factors. He was very well prepared he thoroughly went through my past five month history of my problem. I am so happy i am in such great hands from now on. 10/10

I was recommended to see Dr. Justin Yozawitz by a close friend for a second opinion for surgery on my parathyroid. I am so lucky to have met him! He was extremely thorough and also found a tumor in my thyroid which turned out to be cancer. The first surgeon who I went to would have completely missed this! I am now cured from both issues and I am extremely grateful for his caring bedside manner, attention to detail, and exquisite surgical skills!

Great parathyroid surgeon
I recently had a parathyroid surgery with Dr. Yozawitz and it was stress free from the beginning to the end. Dr. Yozawitz provided me with great knowledge and reassurance from my first visit to the surgery. He made my incision so small right on the crease in my neck and you can hardly see the scar! I was so worried about that but Dr. Yozawitz’ closure was as good if not better than a plastic surgeon! I highly recommend Dr. Yozawitz! I am so happy it all worked out!

Excellent thyroid doctor!
I went to Dr. Yozawitz after my doctor discovered that I had a suspicious growth on my thyroid. He was excellent! He explained everything to me in ways I could understand and made me feel at ease! He did the biopsy the same day and called me a day later with the results. I’m so thankful I was recommended to see him. I’ve already recommended him to two of my friends.

Dr. Yozawitz is a caring & very qualified doctor. He did my thyroid surgery ( removed 1/2 thyroid) 1 year ago and always follows up with me to make sure my thyroid is working properly. He listens to all my concerns, very smart & caring doctor. Surgery went great and I don't even see my scar ( on neck) because of his fine work. Office is clean, always on schedule & professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Yozawitz .

I had surgery for my thyroid with Dr. Y. at LIJ hospital, my experience was amazing, Dr. Y. explained everything to me in perfect detail. The day of surgery date he was very reassuring and all worked out great. His technical skill can not be beat, I am cancer free and my surgical scar is barely noticeable. Thank you Dr. Y.
