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.

I visited Dr. Gerstein on January 24, 2021, and I was admittedly met with an unwarranted sense of hostility from the doctor. Instead of trying to help someone through their first anxiety attack, Dr. Gerstein did the expect opposite. Dr. Gerstein was rude, impolite, and most of all, unhelpful. That day, it was my first time visiting the ER and I needed someone to comfort me during a crisis, and Dr. Gerstein did not provide any kind of comfort or security whatsoever.
