About this business
As a board certified neurologist and sleep specialist, I focus on the importance of adequate and proper sleep to keep my patients at their best during the day. I enjoy playing my part in one of the last frontiers of medicine where we are just starting to learn how sleep impacts all aspects of our health.

I waited 3 months for an appointment with Dr Rifkin and when I finally got there, I was seen by a nurse. Am have extreme insomnia and emwent through a lengthy explainatuon as well as filled out several pages of paperwork prior to the appointment. All I was given was a “sleep log” and told to practice good “sleep hygiene”. Really?? I’ve had trouble sleeping for over a year and a half and that is the professional advice that I am given? I am so incredibly disappointed.
My husband was having severe sleep apnea problems and stopped breathing continuously. Dr.Rifkin and his staff were fabulous, kind, responsive and highly competent. I am perplexed by the negative reviews because the comments are opposite of the experience my husband had with them. My husband has achieved full nights of sleep without apnea with his equipment. Dr.Rifkin met with my husband and me after his sleep study, he explained the results and answered all of our questions thoroughly.
Terrible experience with this doctor and staff. The staff is rude and condescending, and you can't get a timely appointment to see the Dr.My father has a medical condition where the BIPAP is essential to his survival.He did a sleep study that Dr. Rifkin signed off on.The BIPAP was then not working.I called to discuss this with the Dr.His staff said we couldn't bc my dad is "not considered a patient!" What?!? So I tried to make an apt but the soonest we could get in was 2 months! Just POOR!
I just had a sleep study 6 weeks ago and the office called me to get right in. I was able to see Dr. Rifkin within a week because my sleep apnea was severe. I followed up with a PA and she was terrific. I'm not sure what this Jim guy is talking about, but Dr. Rifkin was amazing and I feel even more amazing! Dr. Rifkin is worth the wait!
Business response:
Thank you Robert for recognizing a "false news" report about our practice. Since our inception, we've always focused on patient care and coordinate our care for the benefit of the patient. Our PAs are an integral and extremely important part of our practice and we will make every attempt to see a patient in a timely fashion. We use a STAT protocol to ensure patient safety and "squeeze" patients in all the time when we have to. Thanks again for supporting our practice!
I had a sleep study at Dr. Rifkin's office.Dr. Rifkin wrote the summary report, but you CAN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE HIM TO DISCUSS RESULTS! The soonest appointment they had available was FOUR MONTHS from my study.This is unconscionable and borders on medical malpractice.I could see the Physician's Assistant (PA) sooner, but even that was THREE MONTHS out.So the doctor subcontracts his work to a PA, and you STILL can't get an appointment with him! Forget emergency visits; ANY visit! Terrible!
Business response:
Hello JIm, I'm sorry for your experience with the practice as there must have been a misunderstanding. In that you did not see me, or one or our other practitioners (who are fantastic by the way), prior to your sleep study, it is the responsibility of the ordering practitioner to review the results with you. If the ordering practitioner is unable to review the results with you, we would be more than happy to do so ASAP per his/her request. Again our apologies.
