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.

Dr S. was a wonderful surgeon. She was kind, caring, compassionate. I'd never had surgery or been in a hospital before so I was terrified, somehow she calmed my fears and made me feel at ease. I have nothing but good things to say about her and highly recommend her as a surgeon.

Dr. Sznyter performed my thyroidectomy over 20 years ago, and was incredible. I was struck by her intelligence, warmth, eagerness to explain my options, and professionalism.

I am so thankful for this doctor. She walked me through the surgery, answered all my questions and checked on me after the surgery prior to being released. Excellent follow up to see how I was doing. In the days after. My neck is healing well and l would not hesitate to recommend this doctor to family and friends.

I can only say great things about Dr. Sznyter; she performed a total thyroidectomy and bilateral neck dissection on me. From day one, she knew the course treatment for me. She eased all my concerns and always answered my questions. She was very professional, kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable! Dr. Sznyter truly knows her stuff. She was my first choice and I stuck with her. I had minimal pain and the scar is nearly invisible (considering how extensive my operation was). Her office staff was also friendly and upbeat and always answered my concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Sznyter and look forward to following up with her twice a year. You are in good hands with her.
