    Dr. Shifrin is a very special man….when I asked him why he choose this profession he said because he liked caring for people. He is a gentle, caring, compassionate gentleman who pays close attention to your concerns and genuinely wants to help in any way he can. A colleague recommended him to me a few years ago and I thank her every time I have to visit him….truly one of the world’s good people.

    He diagnosed my condition by asking the right questions and zeroing in on the exact location on my elbow. Physical therapy is the next step.

    He was covering for Dr Spivak, who I usually see but who was not in, apparently on vacation. He was terrific. My only complaint is that when I first called to see Dr Spivak, I wasn't told that I could see Dr Shifrin. Finally, days later, when realizing I might have a fracture, I booked an appointment with him myself for the next day . He was terrific.
