Patient Reviews
Apr 24, 2023
I never write reviews, but I feel the need to do so in this case. I have been Dr. Retsky's patient for years (starting after an acute illness, and including several follow-ups over time), and I'm very happy with the support and service I have received from Dr. Retsky and his team. In fact, I think that he has gone above and beyond the ordinary level of support I would expect, largely during a long (and very frustrating)(but ultimately successful) battle with my insurance company over bills. In general, I find him to be very experienced, and very straightforward in his manner - which I appreciate. And I have always found him to be very responsive and caring. I think he is a great doctor; and I'm not quite sure what I would do without him ... so, I would recommend him highly, particularly if you have a complex situation and need a very experienced practitioner.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about Dr. Joel Retsky, MD.
