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.

Rude & Curt
She dismissed my concerns and it was her way or the highway. Felt bullied, not compassionate.

My experience with Dr. Blitz has been wonderful. She is a brilliant neurologist and extremely devoted to her patients. She listens, she cares and spends the time to understand what your needs are. I followed her from Long Island to Brooklyn and I am grateful to have her as my neurologist.

Dr. Blitz has been my wife's NEUROLOGIST for 21+ years (and mine for 15). During that time there have been several hospitalizations and rehabilitation admittances. She was with us throughout them all. What a caring and knowledgeable professional. I never felt alone.

So glad I didnt listen to her. I felt forced by her to go on a very aggressive MS medication. She basically said I had to choose something. so I did, I chose a new doctor. It has been a year now with no symptoms and no medication. Although I can appreciate her medical opinion she should appreciate her patients needs too. I felt Bullied into picking a medication and she had a very negative prognosis for me even though my tests were not completely conclusive.

Very very horrible doctor. She gets really annoyed when you ask her questions. She literally gave up on me truthfully I feel like she wanted me to die. I'm walking and more stronger thanks to my Rheumatologist and my Faith. She certainly needs holy water and I pray for her .

I had a horrible experience with Dr. Blitz. I find her to be uncompassoniate and very cold. I left my last appointment in tears after being insulted, laughed at and told I'm not smart. I will never go back there reguardless of credentials.
