    Being a physician myself, I can attest that Dr. Witkin is an excellent physisian. She has a vast and deep knowlwdge base. She is very patient, explains concepts well and is very personable. She is at the same time friendly, professional and respectful. I recommend her highly.

    Dr. Witkin was the first person to really take action and quickly assigned me to the ER, which I did not expect. Subsequently, I've had a remarkable medical experience and have a better understanding of my medical issues. I cannot thank her enough for her insights and activism.

    Dr. Witkin is smart, caring and very knowledgeable. I'm lucky to have her as my doctor.

  • Reviewed on 9/4/2025

    I felt like there couldn't have been more questions asked. Meeting with the doctor was only 5 to 10 minutes, seems she was in a rush. It took me almost 2 hours of driving and almost 3 hours to get home. Had a long time to think about my appointment on way home. Perhaps my concerns are better addressed by my primary care physician.

    Dr Witkin is great. However the meeting is a follow up meeting so nothing significant happened or changed. Hence the video conference
