Thanks to Dr Felsen my mother’s heart condition was caught early. We are very grateful to him and believe he saved her life. He has treated her for over 10 years and we couldn’t ask for a more thorough excellent and caring physician..

He is the best and smartest doctor that I ever went to. He is compassionate and kind and took the time to really properly diagnose me.. Office staff were not great but he is worth the wait

Dr Felsen has been my doctor for many years, and has been exceptionally patient with my sometimes overbearing personality. He is a straight-forward, matter-of-fact practitioner who listens to you carefully and helps you weigh alternative approaches to solving your medical problems. He is always kind, even when patients such as myself demand a bit too much. I would recommend Dr. Felsen to my friends and family as the doctor to go to for any medical problem.

I DON'T know what those three say but I've dealt with Dr. Felsen for over 20 years and he's been straight forward with me ALL the time. We NEED Doctors like Michael R Felsen, they are a rare find!

The practice is awful. He as the attending should have been better than his immature and not knowledgeable student (Dr. Yang). He frightened me, gave me misinformation, ignored my symptoms, and aggressively prescribed a drug I cannot take. He was cold, gruff and an ego maniac, and seemed very much like a puppet of big pharma. He's a bully and not an independent thinker. Not a fan of believing women. If there's nothing wrong with you, he might be ok, but don't go to him, if you are a large person, ever had an eating disorder or are smart and informed about your health and care, he does not like to be challenged. Worst experience of my adult life. AVOID!

His photo is ancient, he is a large gruff fat shaming misogynist. I’d rather swallow a bag of glass then see this crap doctor again. I think his BMI is so high it turned off his Empathy. He persribed a drug I can’t take that makes my condition worse. Terrible he should not be allowed to teach. Worst doctor, at a disaster practice. Avoid.

Terrible bedside manner. Made me feel less than human. Just because I have an HMO doesn't mean I deserve this lackluster experience with healthcare. Never going to him again. Plan to see another doctor in the group who my spouse likes.
