The doctor himself doesn't even try to be friendly. Diagnosed me but told me there was nothing he could do (Hashimoto's thyroiditis). Luckily, I did my research and will be looking elsewhere for treatment! Also, waiting room is not all that clean and the office staff wasn't that great. Will not go again.

Went in for thyroid evaluation, he told me I needed a sleep study. No blood work no nothin'. This guy could care less about how I felt, symptoms etc. A waste of my time and money, generally a TERRIBLE experience.

The staff is GREAT. Very nice. The wait time is fine. I don't think I have waited for more than 10 minutes. Dr. Cukierman is very through when it comes to your blood tests and he makes sure that your are on the correct dosage to make your blood levels normal. He is ADAMANT that YOU keep up with your care. BUT he can be a slave to the numbers. If your blood levels are normal he doesn't seem to care about the symptoms. I am technically in the normal range, even though I FEEL hypo, and when I brought it to his attention he said, "'Then it's not your thyroid making you feel this way. It's something else." He will not raise my meds, even a little. I know my body and I know when I feel hypo, even if the levels say I'm normal. It's a very old way of practicing Endo. Also, at first, he can kind of seem like a jerk (he NEVER smiles), But I do think he is a very sweet man under the hard exterior. You just have to get to know him.

Dr. Cukierman is a excellent Doctor who I would recommend to anyone with Diabetes. He is from the old school, If you want help he'll help you But, he can't and won't do it for you.

I had my thyroid removed and he didn't give me any thyroid replacement medication. He also ignored my blood tests, he was rude, arrogant and even hostile; When I went to take my records he slapped my hand (my mother was present)!!! He shouldn't be practicing! The wealthy get away with anything.

Went there for a thyroid problem. Felt like I got yelled at for taking a medicine prescribed by another doctor that he said I shouldn't be taking. I was sad that day, having had a car accident the day before, and he noticed the sadness & thought medicine for depression would be helpful. It was just temporary sadness, and justifiable that would not need medicine to cure.

After not seeing the doctor for a year, my son was told by him that he could no longer be his doctor since he didn't care enough about taking care of himself and sent away. He was given a number and name of a doctor who didn't care if you took care of your self or not and would just write you prescriptions for your diabetes supplies if you didn't want to take their advise and go to them as often as you should.
