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.

Unsatisfied with Dr. Shpitalnik’s treatment plan
I thought that the treatment plan provided by this doctor was not comprehensive and did not fit my needs. For instance, the medication was not specified as to the duration it ought to be taken.

This office is unprofessional and the Doctor is a waste of time. He barely reviews your chart and talks to you for about 5 minutes. They treat you like garbage.

You will wait over 2hrs even with an appointment. The longest I waited and had to reschedule was almost 4hrs (RIDICULOUS!!!!!!). The wait is what makes me not want to come here. Scheduling needs to be better.

I was referred to Dr. Shpitalnik after a work injury and he really helped me. I didn't think I'd be able to return to work but he really helped me. I recommend him.

Incredible Doctor. This is a doctor who was obviously born for his profession. He has helped me immensely. He gives patients the time they need without consonantly looking at the clock, so there is a bit of a wait time for him, but it is definitely worth it! He is one of the most dedicated psychiatrists I have ever treated with, and he does talk therapy in addition to medication management. Very knowledge; fluent in 6 languages including English, Russian, Spanish, German, Polish, and Yiddish.
