Not accepting new patients. I’ve been calling for 2 months and can’t get in. My insurance told me Dr. Helfin was accepting new patients. NO!

Dr. Helfin is the first doctor I've had in the last 10+ years that has actually looked at all of the medications I take and decided it was time to see which ones I really need. He has already improved my health by eliminating one medication and adjusting my insulin. I look forward to seeing what other changes he will make as my health adjusts.

I am most pleased with the quality of care my husband and I have received from Dr. Helfin and his staff over the past several years. I am most appreciative of the fact that Dr. Helfin takes the time to fully understand my concerns and discuss a variety of approaches, both of a pharmaceutical and nutritional nature, which will enable me to live a healthier life. He is a minimalist as far as prescribed medications are concerned and I share that opinion myself.
