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.

Unprofessional
I am very hurt and disappointed in the way I was treated by doctor Podder today. I also work in the medical field and I would never speak to a patient or anyone in that manner. I visited the clinic for a follow up. After my follow up I asked him can he fill out some paperwork for me and also correct the note that he gave me on my last visit. On the note, he put the reason why I had my visit which specified my visit. Normally when submitting a doctors note to your manager or job, the note should not specify an illness or the reason why you were seen unless the patient asks. Dr. Podder yelled at me and said “So why did I see you then? That is the way I do my letters”. Then he proceeded to walk away in a dismissive manner. I was so shocked all I could do was take my paperwork and walk out. This was also very embarrassing because it was done in front of his staff. I am very very hesitant to go back to this facility because of the way I was treated. Btw I almost never write reviews.

Horrible bedside manner and unprofessional assistants during injection procedures. They are on their phone when they are supposed to be monitoring patients. The doctor seems nice enough at first and if you have any issue he can be very condescending and downright rude. I witnessed this for myself and another patient who I happened to observe in the waiting room. See someone else. Now he has lost two patients.

"After numerous referrals to Dr. Podder, I went for a consult last fall. I made the decision to move forward with my plans and the plan that Dr. Podder felt was best for my personal situation. The recovery was better than I anticipated. The staff has been wonderful thought the entire time. I go in for follow-up, as recommended. I am EXTREMELY happy with the outcome of the procedure. - Procedure outcome, fantastic! - Staff - professional, sincere and friendly. - 10 stars!"

Dr. Podder is one of the most distinguished doctors in New York. He really knows what he is doing. I admire his honesty and would never perform a surgery that one doesn't need in comparison to other doctors who cheat people of their money. Furthermore, he would never try to amend a surgery in which he knows is useless. All his staff are amazing. They are knowledgeable and hardworking people. When you go to Dr. Podder you know you are in good hands which why I have been going their for years. I am grateful that I met them!

Dr, Podder has saved my career. Not only did he treat my neck but he has also got me out of pain that 3 other doctors failed at. He treats everyone like a person, not a #. He has called me back personally and gets me in same or next day under certain circumstances. I was sending this site to a friend I am recommending Dr Podder to, when I saw that there was a recommendation letter from someone else I sent to him.Thats fantastic. Don't know who it is from flushing, but I'm so glad he helped. Bu'
