Dr Mirsky is a great physician. He listens to my concerns and addresses them making sure I understand. He stays on top of my care and is very attentive to my concerns. He's been my doctor for over five years, and I consider myself blessed to be under his care.
His concern for my well-being n making sure of my comfortability in my daily life
Dr. Mirsky is my PC and I thank God he is my PC because of the total attention he gives my problems. I have written Dr. Mirsky email's with questions anytime and he would write me back. PC Doctors don't do those kind things. I hit the lottery when Dr. Mirsky became my PC. I also have type 2 diabetes and he has controlled that for 10 years!!!
But Mirsky listen carefully to all my questions and he answers them in a manner that I fully understand. He Cares about his patient patients. I fully recommend him to other people.
Excellent . Professional and knowledgeable
