Dr. Lunenfeld is one of the very best Nephrologists out there practicing medicine today. Very quiet, unassuming, professional. She was able to diagnose the source of my HBP - something that had confounded the very best cardiologists on three continents - and to bring it down from stroke levels to very much under control. She is the cosumate listener - in a field where many do not listen. I owe her my life. I was extremely lucky to find her 9 years ago.

Incompetent, arrogant, self-righteous - are just a few words to describe Ms. Lunenfeld, who calls herself a doctor. It's hard to believe that someone like her has a medical degree. Some doctors at least have book knowledge, she has no knowledge at all, at least not in the field of nephrology. She totally misinterpreted my blood work and failed to correctly diagnose. When was questioned about the error, she came up with a lie but never admitted her error. She has this arrogant demeanor, and she never answers any of your questions. It is probably because she knows absolutely nothing about what she's doing. The office staff is also very incompetent: they can't even perform the simplest task such as entering a correct address into their system. I asked for a copy of my bloodwork to be mailed out to me, but never received anything. Later, found out they sent it to the wrong address. My best advice: if you value your health, stay away from Ms. Lunenfeld and her office.

Reaction to medication prescribed required surgery, She had not known side effects. When I told her what happened, she treated me very unprofessionally.
