    He has always been professional and caring

    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.

    Dr. Schifrin always goes above and beyond to answer any questions and to put you at ease. He comes in with a smile and hello and how are you feeling. He sits and he listens and he genuinely cares.
