this is the worst, most unprofessional doctor i have ever visted, she does not speak english well what so ever, she spoke to me as if i was ''below her'' i went to her for skin problems, and she acually made them worse and left me with permanent scaring. it is very obvious that she is not knoledgable to what she was doing.seriously cannot believe there are doctors like this in the US in the year 2010.
I doubt that she is even a certified doctor. She is very unprofessional and stupid. I went to her because Jewish doctors are normally knowledgeable, but not in this case. Worst doctor I've ever seen.
Our family has been going to Dr. Vaiman for about 8 years. I'm not Russian, but my kids are adopted from Russia and Ukraine. They couldn't speak English when they were adopted and we were lucky to find Dr. Vaiman and her staff. She is caring and takes time to listen. When we've needed an immediate appointment, the staff always tells us to just come in, but we may have to wait. NO Problem! She has caught things so called specialists have missed on one daughter and me. I have faithfully gone to my GYN every year, but needed a physical and since it was time for my GYN exam Dr. Vaiman did that too. I was so comfortable with her and she found a cyst my GYN never noticed. It was large and had likely been there for years. All my girls love going to her! She has more energy than the energizer bunny. She also gives out pharmaceutical samples when she has them so you can try something before getting a long term perscription which doesn't work. SHE'S GREAT!!!

She is a good doctor, and has a good knowledge about a vast variety of problems. She diagnosed my problems immediately, even though I had been to dozens of doctors before her, who all mis-diagnosed. However, sometimes she jumps too quickly to conclusions, doesn't listen very well to problems. But you can talk to her. She is very sensible and sweet.

Dr.Vaiman is a knowledgeable physician and always listens to what I have to say. She comes up with a number of solutions and zeroes in on a problem. I prefer her to any other doctors I had before, I even took my daughter to her and she really liked her. I also suggested my husband to have his yearly check ups with her.

During a physical exam Dr. Vaiman found a tiny lump in my breast.Went to breast clinic for 2nd opinion.Had to show expert where lump was.Had ultra sound and Radiologist confirmed lump and said Dr Vaiman has very sensitive fingers.Another time during physical, Dr Vaiman suspicious of ovary,ordered pelvic ultra sound.Different radiologist this time and he said the same thing of her expertise.Dr. Vaiman has a very cheerful loving personality also.Although I myself am not Russian,the clinic has a high Russian patient base.Dr. Vaiman was also a Dr. in Russia.So she is actually twice trained
