I felt as thought Dr rappaport was dismissive in my symptoms and incredibly condescending. Def won’t be returning any time soon.

An outstanding doctor. They don't come any better. Dr. Rappaport is also an excellent pediatrician. As far as I am concerned, he is a doctor's doctor. I would never use anyone else.

I've taken both of my sons to see Dr. Rappaport for years and when I met him I had an emergency with my older son who was hospitalized. He handled our family with kindness and absolute professional care. He patient and direct and his office receptionist has a heart of gold. I get my calls returned immediately despite his high demand.

My son Mathew has been visiting Dr. Rappaport for years and I have been very happy with the outcome. Appointments are always on schedule with no waiting time. It's good to know that you can always call with any questions and the doctor always responds.
