Professional Medical Arts: Cherfas Marika MD

Excellent doctor, Very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommended

I came to see Dr. Cherfas in her office on Thursday, July 9th with severe flu/cold symptoms. She examined me and I gave her my medical history, and specifically mentioned that I am a vegetarian, and have been one for a very long time (approximately 13 years). She promised me that I would improve in a few days if I took the vitamins that she was selling in her office. The selling price for two bottles of vitamins was $80. Not knowing any better and not having complete clarity due to being very sick, I bought the vitamins, and started taking them right away.

When I brought the vitamins home and researched the price, I found that they actually cost $12 online. I kept taking them anyway, hoping for relief from my symptoms. A few days later, my symptoms got much, much worse and I developed laryngitis, nausea, and an upper respiratory infection that left me home from work for a full week.This morning, I looked at the ingredient list on the vitamins. The ingredients include: bovine ovaries, bovine adrenal gland, bovine brain, veal bone, and porcine stomach.

The doctor seemed pleasant and competent, but following this experience, I would not recommend her to my worst enemy.

If one should not judge a book by its cover, then please do not judge this dr by her office and staff. Amazing individual, very knowledgeable doctor. I refuse to go to anyone else. But, just be aware. the office is a mess and staff is lazy and unprofessional. I overlook all of that just so I can see her,.
