doctor Etkin has been my doctor for 5 years and has been the kindest and caring and patient doctor I ever met in the united states. she took the Hippocratic oath to heart. everybody cruel comments are out of jealousy that they are not doctors themselves. I am the most honest person I know and I know who she is. all the negative reviews are blatant lies.

She is seriously the worst doctor, I don't understand how she even has a license. All she wants is to see as many patients as she can, but could give a rats a** about your well being. She is rude and inconsiderate and not worthy of anyone's time. If you care about having a good experience and relationship with your doctor and one that actually cares about you and how you feel and answers your questions and is just pleasant, this is NOT the person to see. RUN, far away. Find someone else. She is Disgusting and extremely rude.

I agree with people saying that Etkin is very rude and moody person. Every visit statrs with a conversation about insurance payments and copayments.She is arrogant and has no manners.Maybe she knowledgeable but I don't want to go to a doctor who spoils my mood in a second and makes me feel down. I had different private insurance and she never was satisfied with any of them. She is not even trying to hide that it is all about money.
