Dr. Israel is compassionate, makes you feel comfortable and is thorough. Because of his qualities appointments are hard to get, waiting to see him can be hours and the office is clearly on overload.

Kindhearted and caring Doctor to the extent that he will always squeeze his patients in as necessary, thus contributing to lengthy wait times. He's quick but thorough.

I have waited up to 1 1/2 hrs from the waiting room to examination room before I saw Dr. Israel. I always have to call to get results of my blood work even when there was a problem with it, no one contacted me. Requests for my test results to be faxed over to another doctor was never done.
