Dr. Douglas Held

Dr Held did a great job during my July 21/2022. The Surgery went smooth and successful. He is very caring and compassionate during my recovery period. I am very grateful and wish him more power and success in his profession.from the button of my Thank you.

Dr. Held is straight forward and kind. All of these bad reviews are ridiculous. 10/10 would recommend!

Dr. Held did my surgery on 12/4/2021. He was very knowledgeable and informative prior to surgery. I returned to him a week later for my follow up. He asked how I felt I said "fine" he took off my strips said I was healing wonderfully and I dont have to return unless I felt something was wrong. I was ok with that. Dr. Held is a well experienced surgeon in his field. I would recommend Dr. Held for your surgery.

**Beware** Dr. Held is the most unprofessional and dismissive physician I have ever dealt with. I was unfortunately referred to him by my PCP to ask of his advice of a previous surgery (not by him), because my PCP and I were concerned with my healing. On 9/20/21 I went to meet with him. I was greeted by a NA & PA who were very professional, empathetic, and informative....but then came him. He walks in the room and said...”WHY ARE YOU HERE.” I advised him (as he stood at the door). “YOU LOOK FINE” and left. I was shocked, felt devalued, and humilated. Unfortunately, I could not leave a review on Northwell Health website. But I did get a 24 hr survey to which I made certain I left the same review. FYI, find another surgeon!!!
