My experience with Dr. Kirschenfeld has been positive. He is caring and attentive. His staff is very courteous and prompt with helping me with problems and obtaining equipment and, especially, helping with travel authorizations for air flight.

He has a very flat affect, lacks personality, and does not seem sincere at all. He does not like to be questioned, which is very narcissistic, in my opinion. I feel that he does not enjoy what he does as is only continuing to do it for the financial security. As a physician, your patient needs should always come first to provide the best care. He is definitely lacking this trait. I do not recommend him as a physician.

My overall visit was outstanding. Dr. K, was very professional. He addressed all of my concerns and I was given an appointment for my sleep study immediately. He didn't rush me, he was very patient and caring. Staff was great, follow ups were excellent. Before I could get out of the parking lot, the nurse was calling me to confirm my next appointment and ensured I had the correct directions to the sleep lab. Outstanding Service overall.

I waited in his office for almost 1 and half hours. He was extremely rushed and not courteous at all. I was not treated well and I expect better from ...

my experience with Dr. Kirschenfeld has proven that he is caring, knowledgeable and takes ownership of his decisions. He is approachable and willing to share his knowledge.
