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.

My doctor for the last decade...
One of the kindest people I have ever met in life, not just the medical profession. I have worked with him throughout my medical ordeal and I trust him implicitly. Absolutely worth having as a PCP.

A good doctor and a good person. He always takes the time to help when he can and he doesn't talk down patients. Always up on the latest research and studies having to do with common treatments for issues in internal medicine.

I just started as a patient of Dr. Kalish and I'm starting him off with four stars. He listened well and was frank with me in his concerns regarding my health treatments. He was not patronizing, condescending or disinterested, as I read about in the other review, in fact just the opposite. I think if you interact with Dr. Kalish instead of being passive you will have a better experience (as with any doctor). He was also very friendly with a professional yet personable bedside manner.

terrible doctor-looks at his computer instead of you-is in a hurry. I Asked to show my x-rays- he said yes, then stuck his face back in computer-and never showed or discussed my x-ray. He says you are taking too much time and to limit your questions to about 2. Because he has other patients to see. Reviewed meds- said you are supposed to take it as prescribed. I told him is says as needed. He said no it doesn't, then checked his computer again and said oh it does I'll fix my notes.Jerk!
