Patient Reviews
Apr 14, 2020
Terrific. A tested physician who spends time with the patient and does a through examination of every time I see him (twice a year). When I first saw Dr. Epstein I was virtually crippled from the onset of an undiagnosed immunological disease. His diagnosis and the drugs he prescribed produced a 75% recovery in about three days. He's conservative in his recommended drug regimes and weaned me off drugs completely. I still have rare onsets of minor symptoms (trigger finger, etc.), but consider myself 90% recovered. I couldn't be more pleased.
