Patient Reviews for Dr. David R Edelstein - MD, FACS
Very thorough. A bit awkward socially, he has a tendency to look away when listening. Also, he pushed for a CT Scan and mitigated the radiation risk of it. He also did not offer the most technologically advanced surgical procedure. All this being said, I DO definitely recommend him, and may actually go back to him. I believe there are better options for my specific condition but I feel very confident in his overall abilities.
Really comforting and great. Seemed very competent and expert. The complications with insurance were the only glitch I had to resolve.
Super professional and super efficent. I have seen Dr. Edelstein on several occasions and highly recommend him. He offers detailed explanations on what he prescribes for you and why.
Felt like great working atmosphere in his office. Everybody was friendly and attentative.
very pleased with how thorough he was.
Presented a viable diagnosis, answered inquiries, did not feel like a "rushed" visit and pursued follow-up. As a first appointment, excellent. Office help excellent and friendly. Will be able to make better determination on subsequent appointments.
Very nice personal service, short wait time & great diagnosis.
He was very nice, knowledgeable and thorough. I would recommend this doctor.
