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.

Charges $1000 to look at your throat
I came here for a cough that was lasting for too long. The doctor seemed friendly but then wanted to look at my throat which you'd think would be a part of the cost of the office visit but he used a scope and then I got a bill for $1000. Avoid the NYU Langone ent practice if you don't want waste money for unnecessary procedures.

First of all he looks like his picture- which tells me that there is a basic honesty about this Dr. I highly recommend him for myriad other reasons. He is thorough, compassionate, not an alarmist, and listens to you and he has a sense of humor!

Dr. Rothstein was amazing during my visit. Very friendly, professional and had/ha sso much patience. He took his time listening to my concerns. Meeting him was refreshing, usually doctors rush through the visits to move on to the next patient. If you need a great ENT, Dr. Rothstein is THE ONE!

Got there early and was taken right away. He had already checked my prior test results before seeing me. Discussed everything relevant to my problem and had two recommendations. Excellent doctor. Feel very comfortable with him.
