    The doctor was very sympathetic with my ear problem, was thoughtful about the pain that I was going through during the examination. Did recommend a doctor for a surgery that I might need and was able to help me schedule a quicker appointment with that specialist

    I am highly likely to recommend Dr. Ian Sambur due to his exceptional level of clinical expertise and patient-centered approach. From the initial consultation, it was clear that Dr. Sambur prioritizes thoroughness and clear communication. Specifically, I appreciated: • Clinical Precision: He took the time to explain the diagnosis and treatment options in a way that was both comprehensive and accessible.

    I cannot believe how he became a pediatrician. He was so rude. As a parent, I did not feel safe to take my daughter to this doctor anymore, specially becuse of his manner and he was so rude. Just gave us 1 min, but we were waiting about 90 min for this visit. I remember I took my other daughter to one of the similar coward doctors 9 years back, and I am still regretting why I took her to that place(Northwell). Then I moved to Optum, and I have never seen this type of doctor, and this is my first experience in the last 9 years, and found that this type of evils are still alive in the 21st century.
