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.

The best doctor in Long Island!

Can’t do much at all about tinnitus but office visit was good. Hearing test was thorough. Dr. Baraat cleaned my ears which had never been done and felt good, but cannot resolve my particular complaint.

I had a complicated neck surgery. Dr. Braat is highly skilled surgeon (my procedure was flawless and my scar looks great only 4 weeks post), and his easy communication and availability via phone and email gave me much peace of mind. He is a wonderful surgeon and a compassionate, kind person. I recommend him and his office wholeheartedly.

This guy is phenomenal. I was a little worried given two reviews I found here before I went in, but this guy is the perfect combination of seriousness and kindness. He did a major biopsy on the inside of my mouth and it was painless. He had to stick a scope up my nose and down my throat and while it was a bit uncomfortable, talked me through it and made it ok. This guy is fantastic. The kind of doctor I'd want to send any family member to. And super bright--went to an Ivy League medical school.

one of my all time least favorite health care appointments. Terrible manners. Does not make eye contact. Does not listen. Does not answer questions. Dismissive.

He was mostly on the computer, little time actually examining. Seemed to be entering symptoms into WebMD. Poor bedside manners, did not make me aware of what he was doing, he sprayed something in my nostrils, without warning did a nasal endoscopy, I cringed in pain he didn't seem to care. Diagnosed me with neuralgia and scripted anti-sesiure meds and follow up for MRI. I said NO! I did my own regiment of neti-pot, lymph drainage and the sinus infection went away in 3 days.

I went to see Dr. Braat for vertigo and sinus pressure. He prescribed 2 headache medications and suggested I watch YouTube to treat the vertigo. The YouTube videos show a trained professional performing the movements for the patient. He spent most of the time typing our conversation into the computer. He was dressed in his golf clothing and clearly wanted to get out of the office. Very disappointed. I suggest waiting the extra time to see someone else.
