March 23, 2020

Doctor is not friendly and seems intent on getting out of the room as soon as possible. [...].

March 04, 2020

Sometimes this doctor is too connected to the computer screen. Most visits to the office, I sit in the chair and don't really get an examination.

Good

Wonderful person.

February 03, 2020

I felt like this appointment was a waste of time. we didn't discuss anything. I haven't had a [...] shot but there was no recommendation to get one. I had to ask for bloodwork for next appointment.

very good

December 11, 2019

It was an unsettling first visit in trying to establish a new primary care doctor. I would expect some general questions to be asked about my overall health. The doctor only addressed issues after asking me "What's on your mind today". I felt that I had to present the doctor with concerns, rather than him asking questions that might be important. He seemed smugly confident, and perhaps he's a good doctor once symptoms have been presented to him. It all made me feel uncomfortable [...]

As a new patient I felt there was no personal dialogue...I felt I needed to know the Doctor and he/she needed to know me

September 17, 2019

Dr. Itskowitz is a great physician, caring, engaged, and always makes me feel comfortable.

September 02, 2019

Dr Itskowitz is always very respectful, takes his time with me and intently listens. I never feel rushed like I do with other providers. I know I'm in good hands with him.

August 19, 2019

I have been with Dr. Itskowitz for the past three years. I find him to be very responsive and very knowledgeable. I trust and value his opinion.

August 17, 2019

I truly love coming here

August 14, 2019

Doctor asked if I had any questions/concerns, listened and responded with guidance. However I would appreciate if doctor proactively asked questions relative to a person my age and provided recommendations or suggested actions to help me stay on track for a healthy lifestyle. [...] Burden is on the patient to raise points that may require attention/action.
