Everyone is incredibly friendly. The receptionist is very sweet. Despite getting there about 10 minutes early to fill out paperwork, I was in the waiting room a very long time. Awesomely though, one of the assistants/nurses named Roger gave my appointment a jumpstart by taking x-rays ahead of time, and then got me into an exam room. The doctor was very smart and didn't dumb anything down, yet he still felt friendly.
I went in for a check in. I was seen right away and those who work for the doctor were very informative and seems to care about the patient. The doctor was very friendly

Dr. Briskin was very professional with his approach to my condition. Made reasonable suggestions with follow-up.

ZocDoc scheduled me an appointment when the doctor was on vacation. Wasted my time and lost hours at work.
Dr. Briskin is great! He is very patient ,informative and very professional when addressing the problem.
Verified patient
The front office staff was less than friendly but everyone else in the office was great!
Verified patient
Staff seemed a little rushed. I was given a fuller explanation of the diagnosis.
Easy to speak with, knowledgeable, and very professionally-run office.
Liked him very much. Will continue using him as needed.
Verified patient
Unhelpful and acted like he just wanted to get me out of there. Left with an RX but no knowledge of how to treat my ailment, despite having many questions. He practically ran out of the room as soon as he got in and had a very ambivalent attitude about my wellbeing. Would not recommend visiting him if you actually want to know what's going on with your body.
I spend more time waiting for the doctor to see me than actually talking to him. His assessments are quick, and though he's really nice, he sees me for maybe 5 minutes. I wait 50 minutes to see him for 5 minutes. Not to mention that he's inaccessible when you don't see him, and that any major questions you might have would be answered by his staff. The office itself is very nice, and the staff are friendly. I just wouldn't return to this doctor.

I tweaked my foot at work and didn't think much of it and continued to work on it for 6 days in a row. By the time I had a day off I was in a lot of pain and my foot looked even worse than it did the first day I injured it. I needed an appointment quick and searched zocdoc where I found rave reviews of Dr.Briskin. I have never injured my foot before so was somewhat clueless as to who to see, but so glad I chose to see him because of the excellent care he provided. His helpful office was able to schedule me an appointment within the hour too. Dr.Briskin and his team of professionals provided me with great medical care and attention. He was thorough in his evaluation and communicative with my diagnosis (stress fracture) and treatment plan. I was able to get all my X-rays and even a CAT scan of my foot right then and there in the same appointment. I highly recommend him if you are looking for expert care and don't have time to waste. The office is exceptionally clean and spacious too.
Verified patient
Completely inconsistent diagnosis from Dr. Briskin - my first appointment, told me there was one issue with my foot that could not be treated in any long-term manner. During my second appointment, he gave a completely different diagnosis as to why I was experiencing pain in my foot and the exact treatment that upon the first visit, was not feasible. It was shocking to see a doctor who clearly did not even look at my file before coming in to speak with me. His staff attempted to x-ray me (and consequently charge me for a second x-ray) for a second time after a week, despite no change in my condition two weeks later. Overall, sloppy work and clearly did not reference the patient file before coming to speak with me.
Great experience! Compassionate doctor!

Everyone in the office was great and took care of everything very efficiently. Dr. Briskin was excellent, diagnosing my problem quickly and then discussing my options. I have a follow-up in two weeks. I definitely feel I went to the right doctor for my foot problems.

The office staff was efficient. The x-ray technician was caring and professional. The doctor and his assisting doctor were prompt and cheerful. They listened to my concerns and addressed each one completely. An MRI is being scheduled for a more complete look at my problem. I look forward to my follow up appointment and hearing about the diagnoses and the solution to my foot and ankle problems.
