“I recently had my first visit with Dr. Shein for an annual physical and was extremely happy with the experience! His staff were friendly, and he was far more thorough than almost any doctor I've dealt with in the past. He also alerted me to a potential problem with some medication I was taking, and I now strongly believe that I was indeed experiencing negative side effects from that. I highly recommend Dr. Shein.”

I was see right away. Dr. Shein is a phenomenal physician. I have recommended family and friends. He is thorough, communicative and he listens to your concerns. The office staff is professional, courteous and compassionate. Dina, Alexis and Ishmael all took care of me with such care and compassion. This office is the best!

Did my annual physical here and I have decided to make Dr Shein my primary care physician. He is very warm, very caring, and a great listener. He looks at wellbeing holistically, beyond traditional western medicine, so also in terms of mental wellbeing, food intake, etc.

He is friendly and welcomes you with a smile. He asks a lot of questions, listens to your response and come up with a plan of action. He will refer one for additional testing to determine the cause of the problem.

My primary physician who I have the upmost confidence in his advice and suggestions. Back in 2020, Dr Shein suggested I remove my gallbladder based on tests he ran. I followed his suggestion. Later I found out it was cancerous but been cancer free.
July 31, 2024Candido P.Verified patient
This was my first visit to the doctor. I was impressed how knowledgeable and experienced the doctor was. He was very thorough and friendly. I liked him very much in spite of the long wait I had in the reception area.

He has been my primary doctor for years. I wouldn’t exchange him for anyone. He is precise in his review and he will prescribe tests/exams if he feels they’re warranted.
He referred my wife to MSKCC when he noted a disparity in her blood labs, later resulting in leukemia. He noted poppies in my gall bladder, referred me to Mr Sinai for a laporoscopy with Cholecystectomy. Gall bladder was later tested and found to be cancerous and caught in its early stages. All clear as of today.

All good. No problems. Would definitely go back.
February 21, 2024Ralph J.Verified patient
He’s been my PCP for decades. He’s professional, he listens to your concerns and he follows up and calls you for any abnormal lab results and he refers you to the appropriate doctor. So I’m happy with Dr. Shein because he’s good.
November 9, 2023Maria Jona V.Verified patient
Dr Ruvan Shein is a straight shooter with genuine warmth. As an expat navigating healthcare in America, I’m often nervous about care - however, Dr Shein made me feel at ease, was incredibly thorough, asked many questions and answered all of mine, with patience and knowledge. His office also helped me understand my insurance coverage and referrals I needed. A good man, and a great doctor. Highly recommend.

Amazing doctor!!
March 28, 2023Junaid S.Verified patient
I decided to book with Dr. Shein after having a mediocre experience with multiple other gastroenterologists. He seems great so far and has suggested noninvasive tests rather than jumping straight into yet another endoscopy, which I appreciate. His office has in-house ultrasound techs which made it really easy for me when he ordered an abdominal ultrasound. I feel hopeful that he will figure out what is causing my recurring GI issues.
March 26, 2023Alyssa J.Verified patient
It was a very good first impression. The doctor was attentive and asked many questions as a I was a first time patient. He is very knowledgeable. His years of experience showed in his ability to relate to patients and explain why he needs to know what he's asking for. Very Thorough.

Dr. Shein was great. Very knowledgeable and gave great advice.
The office was on the dirtier side. The technician that took my blood and EKG did not speak English which was surprising / frustrating.
