Retired for one year. Never did hear back from Fox Rehabilitation's . The PT was the most abusive and insulting person I have ever tried to work with. By her post she violated HIPAA. Worse then that is that Fox and its CEO never responded to my letters, emails and phone calls.

In response to the previous review: It is completely inaccurate and violates HIPAA Because I respect my patient and their privacy I will not comment further. The company is Fox Rehabilitation and I would recommend not using them. I tried to reach the CEO Robyn Kijar but got no response Martin Kanovsky , MD

The most rudest, incompetent, condescending, and negligent cardiologist I have ever met. As certified lymphedema therapist, my job is to take care of my own patients and communicate any concerns with the referring physicians. This physician was extremely rude and dismissive when I was attempting to educate him on lymphedema and update him on our mutual patient's worsening condition. He admits to me he doesn't know what to do for the patient anymore except for him take 8 Lasik pills a day to reduce his edema and for me to stop calling him. Keep in mind the excessive use of the diuretics have not been working for the last 3 weeks. I'm sorry but any competent physician would refer their patient to another physician if they themselves are out of options for the patient. Highly DO NOT recommend this cardiologist. As a fellow healthcare provider I'm very disappointed him.

I use Dr. Kanovsky as an internist rather than as a cardiologist (thankfully), and I have found him to be thorough and patient. I did have trouble getting in once when I had flu symptoms, but I have never had to wait beyond my appointment time. Overall I'm very satisfied.
