I haven't seen this level of professionalism and care anywhere else. He explained every step of the process in detail and made sure everyone was comfortable.

We are truly grateful and can't thank Rabbi Friedman enough. We will always recommend him to our friends and family!

I highly recommend using Rabbi Friedman if and when you are in need of a Mohel.

"Disclaimer: This is a very long review about how AWESOME The Royal Mohel is to work with! :)…read more Dr. Rick Roberts surpassed my expectations twice now as he has performed at both my son's bris! His professionalism is bar none better than any mohel I've ever seen or heard perform. He is prompt, kind, funny, caring and full of fresh ideas. What I truly enjoyed is that he takes the time to sit with you, get to know you, hear your story , and build ideas based around what he takes from the conversations from you. Dr. Roberts was by our side each step of the way during the big day. One favorite part is that you don't even realize you're at a bris, he turns it into an enjoyable occasion. His thoughtfulness is incomparable as the first time around, being fresh parents we were too immersed in the day and completely forgot what he had told us. His phone is ALWAYS open to his clients and is more than willing to re explain what we should have been listening to the first time. From his calming voice, to his expertise, to his follow up calls days after, you will never find someone who LOVES what he does so much. Dr. Roberts came up with amazing ideas to help me speak in front of everyone and made each bris it's very own. Each time he performed for us was something completely different which shows how he isn't a "cookie cutter" type of a talker. He truly is a master of his craft and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. You are not just a number, your bris is special and treated like the once in a life time experience that it is. I highly recommend The Royal Mohel and urge everyone and everyone If you are in need of said services then you need not look any further. Best in the business, hands down!! Truly a pleasure to work with! A million thanks a thousand times over for making this run so smoothly!!! This review will probably fall short of how amazing he truly is! Thank you SO much!

My childhood best friend had a beautiful baby boy, and I attended a Brit Mila ceremony conducted by…read moreDr. Dania Rumbak. In conversations before the bris, I knew that my friend was nervous about the process, the ceremony, and the actual circumcision. I can say with confidence that Dr. Rumbak put the family's mind at ease both with her expertise and her gentle approach. As a "spectator" at the ceremony, Dr. Rumbak passed around sheets so we can all follow along and feel part of the ceremony, and explained what different blessings meant. She also added some Jewish text in a modern and relevant way, which I appreciated, and my family continued to discuss post ceremony. The sweet baby did super well and was calm throughout the entire process. Truthfully, I didn't even know when the actual circumcision actually happened because she was so gentle and discrete. At the end of the ceremony, many people went up to Dr. Rumbak to compliment her on one of the best brit mila's they ever went to, and many asked for her card (including my mom for our temple!). She has a great business partner in Shachar, who socialized with the guests of the ceremony, kept everything organized, and was just an all around stand up guy. Oh, and how great that she is a mohel AND a doctor. Talk about putting your mind at ease..that will definitely do it. Highly recommend.

Would have loved so much to give a glowing review of Dr. Rumbak but unfortunately we look back on…read morethe day of my son's bris and what transpired after with a lot of sadness. Dr. Rumbak deserves credit and thanks for her discretion in not circumcising our son the day of his bris due to a urological condition she noticed in her ore-ceremony examination. We are thankful for that. She performed what essentially worked out to a baby naming ceremony for us. Obviously the day was emotional to begin with and the news she couldn't circumcise was extremely disappointing and heartbreaking since this was a day we looked forward to for so long. In the days after the bris we were able to absorb the events better and realized exactly what happened. To begin with, my wife asked for a program to keep as they were being collected (yes, collected), and the response was, "I collect them." She said the same to my mom (baby's grandma). We consider this ridiculous - even if the baby's grandparents couldn't have one, at least the parents should. When I emailed Dr. Rumbak about the issue I'm about to describe, I also mentioned the program and that part of my email was left unaddressed. Here's the major problem, though. We paid $800 for a circumcision plus $150 for travel from Manhattan to Nassau. We were happy to do this because we really liked Dr. Rumbak on the phone. However, after the bris, we had a bit of a realization that really irked us. Why were we never offered any kind of refund for the circumcision not being performed? It really should have been offered that day, on the spot, but it wasn't. Days and weeks turned to months and we still were never offered anything. We didn't even get an email or phone call to check on our son given the medical issue Dr. Rumbak identified. This was surprising given the emotional nature of the day but also because part of Dr. Rumbak's service (advertised on her web site and vouched for in her reviews) is her frequent follow up with the family. Finally after a few months, I emailed her explaining we feel we are owed some kind of refund due to the most critical part of the ceremony, the circumcision, not being performed. It is that expertise for which we paid. Dr. Rumbak issued a $200 refund, saying that the rate for a baby naming is $600. It's unfortunate such a beautiful day was soured by the experience we had. As new parents we feel we were, in a way, taken advantage of. Dr. Rumbak did ultimately give some money back, but we feel we shouldn't have had to ask. Experiences like this are what make people cynical about organized religion. The right thing to do would have been to give us a refund without us having to ask. We would not recommend her.

My mother doctor and her various pediatrician friends were very impressed with rabbi Lawrence's skills!! Before the bris Rabbi Lawrence spoke with us on the phone a few times. He explained everything to us in detail and helped me calmed my nerves. He also helped us figure out how to include some family traditions. After the bris he explained everything to us in person with pictures and props and sent us written instructions. He checked in on us and our son every hour after that to make sure the healing process was going well. He has been available for every question and picture I have had. On top of all this rabbi Lawrence helped me stay calm on what is a very emotional day. If you are looking for a mohel who goes above and beyond rabbi Lawrence is your man!
