Office staff very efficient & pleasant. Dr Walzman on entering the exam room, immediately gave me the good news on my recent test. He didn’t keep me waiting. I much appreciated that. Also guided me to where to go for another issue I’m dealing with after I said I had concerns. I highly recommend this practice.

Dr Kaptain is hands down the best doctor I have experienced. Prior to my most recent visit this week, I saw him two years ago. He is the same kind, and compassionate man that he was when our paths last crossed. Amazing!

It is a rare gem to find a helpful, friendly, and courteous office staff alongside the most outstanding doctors, but it exists here! Dr. Walzman has been my surgeon/doctor since 2022. I have recommended friends and family to this practice because the care is exceptional, the doctor is brilliant, and the staff is superb. I have never once left the office feeling frustrated, unheard, unsure, or confused. Everyone is there to help and offer guidance to make sure that all my questions are answered until I am fully satisfied. You get a strong sense that everyone is happy to work there too - they seem to like what they do and like one another. I hope you never need them, but if you do, this is the place you want to be.
