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.

Misdiagnosed
He did not want to do x-rays on me and told me it was just a sprain and that the pain would go away within a month. I'm in even more pain than I was when he evaluated me. I went to get a second opinion, and it turned out I needed surgery because everything was torn. He had a resident with him and practically let the resident diagnose me. If I had never gone in for a second opinion with Dr. Schiff, I would not have been able to walk at all. Do not make the same mistake that I did and see this doctor.

Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Pinzur. I came to him by recommendation from another surgeon who could not repair my ankle and Dr. Pinzur never gave up! I truly believe he saved my foot. He goes above and beyond for his patients.

I have many medical problems, and have seen many doctors, but never have had the experience like when I went to see Dr Pinzur. He is horrible about listening to your problems, doubts what you tell him and actually says things to his students in front of you. For example: "She says she has RA, but she really doesn't." Why would he doubt what my other doctors have proven? My rheumatologist was the dr that recommended him. He botched my foot up so bad it needs more surgery to correct it!
