Good doctor, horrible office receptionist. The main receptionist lacks appropriate people skills. She is sarcastic, nasty and unprofessional to patients. She makes decisions for the doctor without consultation. When asked for the numbers on bloodwork, she responded “It’s just a number you don’t need the number”. Refused to give an appointment and does not allow the patients to speak to the doctor. Lies about completing paperwork for patients. She should not be working in any helping profession.

Dr. Israel has taken care of me for over three years. He has been professional, honest and wells mannered. I have never felt rushed or that he did not care. I would recommend him to anyone at any time. I feel like I am in the best of care which puts me at ease. I won the lottery with Dr. Israel.
