His staff was efficient and courteous in setting up my appointment, answering my questions and assisting me when I ran into difficulties setting up my video visit."
"Yes, I would recommend Dr. Shostak to my family and friends. Dr. Shostak was professional, courteous, pleasant, knowledgeable, and communicated to me his diagnosis of my medical condition in a clear and concise manner including the procedure he will use to provide his findings. The procedure was immediately scheduled. My TeleVisit with Dr Shostak was excellent."
"In complete contrast to recent experiences with Weill Cornell, Dr Altorki’s staff was terrific: staff answer the phone promptly, are pleasant and knowledgeable, and conduct efficient follow up!!! The assistant we dealt with (Sharona? Wish I could remember her name) was a model of friendly professionalism, using human media like language and phones rather than passively relying on the portal. Dr Altorki himself was clear, respectful and obviously expert in his realm. Doctors who are highly intelligent but unpretentious are a personal favorite. I needed no other information to commit myself to his surgical care on the spot."
