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.

Genuinely interested in my case. He totally reviewed my prior doctors reports. He is a pleasant man and extremely knowledgeable. I feel very comfortable in his ability to treat my prostate cancer.

Dr Wax treated my breast cancer proactively with medications that likely saved me from developing more severe cancer. He also caught a nearly out of control MERSA infection ( caused by another physician at Overlook Hospital) that could have put my life at risk. He is an excellent, knowledgeable oncologist. I’m lucky to have his expertise accessible for nearly 30 years.

Dr. Wax has been managing my father's lymphoma for many years after we left MSKCC in Basking Ridge for misreading his CT scan that showed a large mass in his abdomen and the blatant disrespect a covering oncologist showed us the second she entered the exam room. Dr. Wax treated him promptly and my father has been doing well since. His knowledge base is so strong with his years of experience, and we trust him in every respect. His office staff is courteous and compassionate.
