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.

Best Neurologist I’ve encountered
Dr. Boffa is the most compassionate, understanding doctor you can ask for. You can always count on him. If you need assistance between appointments, he will be quick to respond especially in an emergency. He treats me and my daughter. My whole family appreciates his dedication to his patients. He really cares about us, we’re not just a number on a chart. He really cares to make a difference in each and everyone’s lives. Thank you for all your hard work.

Exceptional Pediatric Epileptologist!
My child’s seizure disorder was finally brought under control after five other neurologists and over 6 years of various treatments failed us! Our child has been in the care of Dr. Boffa since July 2019. They enjoys a great patient/doctor rapport. Except for bloodwork, my child looks forward to all appointment.During pandemic mandates of our city, my child still continued to receive excellent medical treatment. Dr. Boffa was simply an email, phone call or video conference away! My outreach to his office was always responded to and directly from Dr. Boffa! Whenever my pharmacy struggled with the prescriptions, once again Dr. Boffa resolved it immediately- even if he was off duty or on vacation!!! We honestly can not say enough about this exceptional medical professional. Recommending his services highly and emphatically to anyone! If you or your child is suffering in the labyrinth of finding a dedicated and knowledgeable specialist in epilepsy - look no further!

My neurologist for 7 years running
I started seeing Dr. Boffa when I first moved to Brooklyn in 2015. He’s been a great doctor and has provided me with a very high quality of medical care. He’s candid but also personable and supportive, and makes sure to ask about how I’m doing outside of the office. He’s always accessible, and very quick to respond to messages whenever I have questions or concerns. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Boffa treats my adult son who has a seizure disorder. He is and amazing physician. My family and I are very happy we found him. He has patience, he takes his time to explain the issues and always encourages you to contact him in between appointments if we have any questions or issues. He is truly a caring doctor and display professionalism that is not often seen in many doctors today. He takes his time with you, ensures you understands your illness and provides the best treatment options. As a nurse I am exposed to many neurologist and we have tried a few doctors to ensure I found the best for my son and we are very happy we chose Dr. Boffa. I trust him with my love one and I will definitely recommend him with 10 star ratings if it was available.

We saw Dr. Boffa today for follow up. He is a lovely man and doctor. He really cares about my mother and me and he always takes the time to explain everything to us. We had begun to lose hope that my mother's seizures would be under control but she has now been seizure free for over a year. Thank you Dr. Boffa!

Although Dr Boffa offered some great help to my condition he and his team have repeatedly caused great anxiety and stress equal to any other improvements. This doctor continually disregarded issues in receiving medication that he prescribed and his team waved away my requests for urgent assistance. Consider visiting once or twice but do not depend on this practice for your regular care—there are more attentive doctors throughout NYC and the surrounding areas.
