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!!!
