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.

The worst pediatric visit ever. Dr. Sternfeld is an alarmist and treats the patient/family with little respect. She demonstrates a bully mentality. It seems she enjoys frightening the family and when asked to explain she back tracks and changes the story. I advise if Dr. Sternfeld is the physician on call, wait & go urgent care. I will NEVER allow my child to be treated by Dr. Sternfeld again. Beware!

Ms. Sternfeld should be selling icecream and not be a doctor. She misinformed us of current laws about parent access to medical records and threw cancer scare around to sell vaccines. I was shocked by her claims and statements . She being "smarter than all other humans" just looked at me like i was an oaff. If she did 1/2 as much research as listening to pharma reps. She stood a chance at using her phd in a useful way. Not ever seeing her again. Neither should you.

I absolutely love taking my kids to go see Dr. Sternfeld! She is sweet, funny, understanding and very attentive whenever we need her. I have a 15 and a half year old son and an 11 month old daughter and she is incredibly well versed on all aspects and developmental stages of pediatrics as far as I have seen. She has gone above and beyond for my family on several occasions including returning after hours calls. She genuinely cares about all her families and little patients.
