He is thorough, patient, caring, and most of all has a true clinician's instinct for providing the exact type of care necessary. Not one to over test, it is always right for the moment, and more importantly he tries as hard as he can to not let his patients slide on the preventative side of medicine. I am also grateful for the partnership we've had over the years treating family members and myself to ensure that nothing was ever left to chance. He is a gem.

Dr. Horbar is the best. He's been my internist for decades. Thorough, attentive, and responsive.read more

Doctor Bernstein will not recommend prescription medicine/drugs if you do not need it which is not only good for the body bit good for the wallet. He is also very accommodating if there is an emergency or a request and we need to speak on the phone. If you need to see him in person, then yes you will need an appointment. I have never had to come in because of an emergency so I honestly do not know how he handles emergency visits He will always be my doctor and I always refer him.

Fantastic. His staff, initially brusque-seeming when I phoned to beg for a next day appointment as…read morea new patient, told me that they were booked until the end of the month. BUT she took a note for the doctor about my symptoms and said he would call back. He phoned that night, kindly listened to me and said to call back the next morning and they'd fit me in. I called, the kind staffer fit me in the late afternoon and kindly called back to tell me of an earlier cancellation. Seeing Dr. Bernstein was a dream. He sat me down and asked real questions about my life, my family, etc... He really listened. He examined me and gave me sage and funny medical advice. What a wonderful Dr. I grew up with old school docs that were friends of the family for years in IL, they've long retired, or sadly passed -- but Dr. Bernstein is definitely a kind old-school doctor. Highly, highly recommended

Although I am not a patient of Dr. Cooke's--at least not yet--I am greatly impressed by her team!…read moreIn the last two weeks, Carolina, one of her assistants, spoke with me three times, spending an extraordinary two hours in all, explaining Dr. Cooke's practice, answering every question, and even brainstorming with me about a particular issue! I cannot imagine a doctor's office--even a functional medicine one-- providing more helpful, detailed support. Unfortunately, despite fees that I know are fair for a NYC physician of Dr. Cooke's caliber, I'm unsure if I could afford to see Dr. Cooke. However, Carolina's excellent help tells me that Dr. Cooke's care must be outstanding.

Grateful every day to have met Dr. Cooke. She is a brilliant doctor and a beautiful person. I spent…read moresome time in her office learning from her during my medical studies and public health studies. She is thorough, knowledgeable and genuine. Dr. Cooke thinks out of the box. She draws from extensive training from different schools of thought, compromising her vast medical toolbox. Her genuine touch is a rare quality in modern medicine; it is usually drained out of most physicians. The more I read, the more physicians I work with, and the more I learn only reinforces my respect and admiration for Dr. Cooke. At first I wondered why many patients came from so far away to see her. Patients who had thoroughly researched and visited European clinics ultimately came and settled into the warmth as Dr. Cooke's patients. It is crystal clear to me now. She is one of a kind. I highly recommend Dr. Cooke She is the best!

It's really important that doctors listen and be humble, otherwise they might make mistakes. This…read morewas NOT my experience with Dr. Goldberg. Dr. Goldberg did not have a good bedside manner. He was arrogant, he was not a good listener and, in my experience, he did not have empathy. After thinking about my experience with Dr. Goldberg and doing more research, I felt like I should write this review. According to the New York Post, Dr. Goldberg was sued because the infamous anesthesiologist Dr. Brian Goldweber AKA "Dr. Disease" administered anesthesia during procedures in Dr. Goldberg's office! https://nypost.com/2007/06/17/doctor-disease/ According to this court summary "Dr. Goldberg did not independently investigate Dr. Goldweber's qualifications and, instead, relied on Dr. Carni to do so." https://law.justia.com/cases/new-york/other-courts/2012/2012-ny-slip-op-50214-u.html Eventually the case was dismissed because it turned out that the patient did not get sick because of "Dr. Disease." BUT IT BLOWS MY MIND THAT DR. GOLDBERG RELIED ON A THIRD PARTY TO VET HIS ANESTHESIOLOGIST! That's really scary. Imagine if you're having a procedure under anesthesia in an office and something goes wrong. You're not in a hospital setting. Can you imagine if your doctor, who you trusted, did not independently vet the anesthesiologist?!?! There is also an article about Dr. Goldberg in the New York Times that sheds light on my experience. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/08/nyregion/enhanced-medical-care-for-an-annual-fee.html According to the article, Dr. Goldberg also runs a "concierge" medical practice in addition to the private practice where I saw him. He once accompanied a patient to an MRI and "held her toe" to comfort her. Give me a break! In my opinion, VIP medicine is not good medicine (Prince, Michael Jackson), and I don't trust doctors who model their practice on VIP medicine. The office was in a convenient location and the receptionist was nice and professional. The waiting room was nicely decorated and people were friendly. I spoke to another patient who was good friends with Dr. Goldberg. I was taken aback by the conversation. Maybe you're thinking "who becomes good friends with their gastro"? Well, it turns out that the patient was friends with Dr. Goldberg first and apparently Dr. Goldberg doesn't have a problem treating his friends. It made me uncomfortable and it felt like Dr. Goldberg doesn't have professional boundaries. Most medical ethicists would agree that doctors shouldn't be treating their friends. But if this is common practice for Dr. Goldberg, it would explain why he has so many good reviews: are his friends writing reviews for him? Because the reviews just don't match up with my experience. Dr. Goldberg does not take insurance. If you're lucky enough to have a PPO and you only care about location, then Dr. Goldberg may be right for you. If you are looking for a patient centric doctor then I would look somewhere else. If you're looking for an "important" doctor, I think there are a lot doctors in the city who have degrees from higher ranked schools than the school that Dr. Goldberg attended or who have impressive positions at hospitals. The best hospitals in the city also offer concierge services for patients who can afford it. So whether you're looking for VIP treatment or whether you are like me and you're just looking for a trustworthy and professional doctor, I think there are much better options out there. No matter what, DO YOUR RESEARCH. I did not know about Dr. Goldberg's association with "Dr. Disease" prior to my visit to his office. If I had, I never would have trusted him.
