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.

Rudest doctor I’ve ever met
Treated my father at the hospital and was the rudest doctor my mother and I have ever encountered. Wouldn’t even look at us. Disgusting.

It was a parent, that was the patient. He provided a diagnosis to a 90-year-old patient of pancreatic cancer, simply based on an MRI - also he's not an oncologist. After panicking the entire family, only then did he proceed to recommend a biopsy, which was to take 3-4 days but took over a week. No calls, no follow up, no bedside manner, nothing. The hospital was impossible to get a hold of as was the doctor who DID NOT return calls nor was he available during "working hours as per recording. The test proved negative, we are thankful, but this doctor should be ashamed of himself as should the hospital.

Dr. Lipkin is a wonderful Dr. He is extremely through, never rushes, and makes the patient feel that they are the most important patient. When I went in for a procedure, the staff at the facility noted that he never rushes and usually takes longer than other doctors to make certain that nothing is missed. I hope Dr. Lipkin never retires. He is the best!
