Dr. Dorfman is always very pleasant and thorough. He takes the time to listen to my concerns and include me in the decisions made for my care. I also like how well he explains the what and why of treatment options.

1 out of 5 stars

The front desk staff was very professional & welcoming. However, the doctor Benjamin Dorfman, is very rude and unprofessional. He came into the room, did not introduce himself. He was not making eye contact with either the patient or with the family. He was too busy typing notes as he was talking to us. He was not connecting with either the patient or the family. It is very difficult time for the patient & family to be experiencing and taking care of a patient with parkinsonism. It took us 6 months to get an appointment with him & it's disappointing that he did not have any suggestions & treatment plan for the patient. He seems to be knowledgeable but does not know how to convey to either the patient or the family.
