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.

Top notch in his field
I have been going to Dr. Kupferberg for 14 years. I see him every 6 months for a followup after sinus surgery. Couldn't ask for a more professional and experienced doctor. He listens and explains everything patiently and will go out of his way to get answers for you. Doesn't hurt that he has a sense of humor also. Very subtle though. I would recommend him highly.

Gooddoc
Very impressed with his office staff. He was thorough and not hurried and discussed health issues that went beyond my original reason for coming into see him. I would highly recommend him.

I believe he ordered unnecessary tests. Prescribed medication that caused more damage to my hearing. When I called he was out of the office and never got a callback.

Dr.Kupferberg is fantastic. He is incredibly knowledgeable, he takes his time to explain and makes sure you understand. I’ve been seeing him for over a year for some sever sinus issues. He eventually performed surgery and I had a great experience. The only negative thing I could say is not about Dr. Kupferberg but about his office... I wait 45min+ every single time I have an appointment. It doesn’t matter if it’s TR or Manasquan his staff doesn’t seem to schedule properly. I deal with the scheduling because I trust Dr.Kupferberg so much and think he is a fabulous doctor.

This Dr is extremely rude. Upon my first appointment he didn't even look at me, sat down and went through his shpeel about himself. I told him my concerns and why I was there. He proceeded to "diagnose" me without listening and then after actually looking at my nose went "oh you're right there is something there". He then proceeded to be snide and tell me how he doesn't have xray vision so he is ordering a CT scan. After my next appointment telling me I needed a procedure, continued to be very short and rude with an overall nasty demeanor. I left and ended up calling him a few days later to ask him questions about it. I called a second time because I still wasn't understanding and was met with "how do you not understand this?" From that point on I no longer had the desire to ask questions or speak with this condescending human again. If I am having surgery on my face I should be able to ask any and all questions and have all concerns be met with an explanation in a professional manner

I see Dr. Kuperberg every 4-6 months for cerumen impaction (earwax clog - my left ear creates a ton of ear wax and there's no way to stop it). He is professional, polite, friendly and remembers me every time. His staff is generally friendly and work with me when scheduling. Be sure to ask for him specifically. I've seen another male doctor at the Toms River office and he was not nearly as thorough or kind as Dr. Kupferberg. I highly recommend him!

I had two surgeries with Dr Kupferberg on my nose in this last year and I've never had surgery but him and his staff and the staff at the out patient center that worked on my nose and took care of me were great. I originally went in because my ears were clogged and they were able to schedule me within a few days. Setting up the surgery was easy and they worked with me and I love how well I can breath now
