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. Watsky was my PCP since the 1990s. In 2012, it became clear he was not helping me at all. The only thing he was really treating me for was hypertension when I had numerous other problems. Appointments consisted of a blood pressure check, and if it were high, he would add a new med or change a dosage. When I tried to discuss other issues, he would roll his eyes, pretend to listen & be concerned, say something soothing, give me sample drugs, & escort me out of the room. I now have a new PCP.

If I could leave a 10 Star I would... Unfortunately, he is retiring from practice as of December 31st, 2016. He has a brilliant career and has touched the lives of many. He will be truly missed by all.

We have been seeing Dr.Watsky for many years. He has been very caring and helps wherever possible. We are saddened that he is retiring but happy that he will be able to enjoy his retirement years, while still possible. We, my husband and I are happy that he was there for us whenever needed. He had a good sense of humor and we will surely miss him! Best wishes, Dr. Watsky, on your new journey! Enjoy the ride! Mr. And Mrs. Dan DiNatale, Sr.
