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.

Dr Yehuda Handelsman the Best IM Endocrinologist
I have have been seeing Dr Handelsman for over 25 years, I would definitely recommend Dr Handelsman to anyone who needs special attention and professional/personal care. To me he is the best IM and endocrinologist. Dr Handelsman is smart and knowledgeable he is a perfectionist and always listening and available to talk. His diagnosis are always right - he does know how to calm you and provide you with answers and explain everything with much patience. His front desk is always nice and accommodating I would definitely recommend

To be fair I cannot rate the Doctor because I never got that far thanks to his staff. I called in to make an appointment earlier this morning (06/05/17). The person that answered transferred me to another non interested person (personality of a rock). I felt as if I was bothering them. She told me that they were under staffed and that she would call me back sometime in the afternoon, same day in order for me to make an appointment. 5:38 pm. Still waiting on her call. The staff rating -10

I saw Dr. Handelsman for my diabetes. He spent a long time explaining my condition, then took multiple blood tests and had me return when they were back. He went over every single line of those tests and I was extremely pleased with how thorough he was. He also made me feel that we could handle this together and gave me great hope for my future. I highly recommend him. His staff was great.
