Dr. Brody is the best!! He’s so thorough and ordered extensive testing, MRI, ultrasounds that my previous obgyns were unwilling to facilitate. I finally feel like I have some control over my health with Dr. Brody. He takes his time with each patient and the wait is 100% worth it.

A friend of mine recommended Dr Brody after my previous doctor closed his practice, and Im glad I went with the recommendation. Dr Brody is very knowledgeable and takes his time with each patient. You might be there a little longer than expected but thats because he cares about his patients and is not just trying to get you out the door. He has far more knowledge in how the body operates than other doctors that I have been to and that is very important to me as a patient. His nurse/administrative officer is very nice and also very knowledgeable. I feel I made a good choice !!

Front desk lady was super nice and sweet. Doctor was very patient and polite. This is my first pregnancy and he definitely made me feel less nervous and gave me some helpful tips and things to avoid. Definitely recommend this doctor.

I have been Dr. Brodys patient for over 8 years and I am so pleased to report that he has helped me with my medical issues, especially with balancing my hormones. He has listened with care to my concerns and has been very responsive to my needs. He backs up his advice with evidence based medicine.I also want to give a shout out to his office manager Pat, who genuinely cares about Dr. Brodys patients.

Dr.Brody was very nice but the visit was very short. He answered our questions but no tests no ultrasound and the consultation was $450. I was not told pricing before our visit and could only make an appointment online. I want to help anyone looking for an affordable option most places offered consultations from $185-270 and were upfront about this cost.

Doctor Brody is one of the best specialists I’ve been to. Thorough, very helpful and takes his time to go over every detail with you. After suffering with endo for most of my life, he’s been the only doctor that I actual feel like is taking the steps towards relief with me. Pat is also awesome , I love talking to her!

After years of trying other fertility clinics I must say that I feel Dr. Brody is my biggest hope and Im finally in the right place. I had a chance to talk to him about his background which is very impressive. Were both Veterans and connected right away. He doesnt sugar coat stuff, hell tell you how he sees it. I appreciate his honesty because I have PCOS and makes it more difficult to conceive. Sometimes they run behind but Ill wait whatever time is needed to be able to get seen by Dr. Brody, Hes one of the best in OBGYN and Fertility field in USA. If youre in a rush and expect to be in and out then look for other options. His practice is very busy because hes trying to help and treat the patient like a human being. Unlike other places Ive been and they to get you in and out without addressing your questions. Also, my hat off to Pat his assistant shes a worker bee and very sweet. They are the sweetest humans ever. In my personal experience, I feel that they really care about me and my well being. I recommend him and Pat 100% !

Dr. Brody is one of the most kind, caring and compassionate doctors I have ever been to. He spends a good deal of time with you, never feeling rushed out. I have gone to him for different medical issues and have been very satisfied.

Dr. Brody is always late (expect at least 2 hours late), very slow, forgets who you are and every time you have to tell him your story from the very beginning. We are now waiting for 3 weeks to get a prescription following the appointment, his office is non-responsive. So basically, we are not achieving any result with Dr. Brody, as he and his assistant Pat forgot to send a refill prescription, and well have to start over, waisting 6 months of treatment. We were patients for over a year, and no results. If you have a few years to fix your problem, its ok. But if you want more professional advice, go to someone else.

I came here for a hormone test and ended up leaving before even seeing dr brody because I had been waiting for over an hour in the room when the drs assistant came in to tell me that he was on the phone and that she did not know how much longer it would be... very unprofessional. especially considering that I was the only patient in the office at that time, so it was not like he was busy attending to an appointment that ran over time. I also specifically booked for a hormone test on zocdoc and after waiting 40 minutes the doctors assistant had asked me if I had any blood work done, which was literally why I was there!!! Was such a waste of my time and I will never book again. The doctors assistant was very nice and friendly, but everything felt very unprofessional and I wasted money on the copay because I didnt even get to see the doctor!

My first visit to Dr. Brody was almost 4 years ago with Hashimoto disease. Dr. Brody is brilliant. Not only is he smart, he works with whats best and comfortable for you. I love him as my doctor and grateful to have found him. Pat is his nurse and partner in the office. She too is wonderful. Theyre both straight forward and honest. I was desperate and felt hopeless. Dr. Brody educated, guided and helped me get my life back. Thank you!

Im so grateful to Dr. Brody for all his guidance helping to balance my hormones and optimizing my overall health. He is a unique and special doctor who always gives me all the time I need to thoroughly review and analyze my labs, explaining to me in detail the importance of each item and its function and answering all my questions. Another very unique attribute is Dr. Brody practices both traditional and naturopathic medicine. So you get the best of both modalities. Then theres Pat, his righthand person who is always such a pleasure. Its so nice when I call that I dont have to introduce myself because they know me. I know that they treat all their patients the same way. Ive recommended a couple of people to Dr. Brody who also raved about him and their experience. Hes a wonderful doctor, a true gentleman and all around great person.

Dr. Brody and I had a little bit of a scafuffle in the beginning, and I felt like he didn’t always know who I was or what was going on with me, but there were long periods between visits and I was not good at communicating clearly. I was frustrated and ended up having a meltdown in his office, and that’s when and where he really started to shine. Every other doctor could tell I was in distress but wasn’t then motivated to help, but Dr. Brody stepped up when I lost it in front him. He responded by validating both my experiences and emotions, and immediately laid out a plan of action, which shut down my emotional overload. He’s been my absolute saving grace and sanity, and he won’t give up like other doctors do. He’s also respectful of service dogs, though he WILL tell you how much he loves them repeatedly 😂 Pat, bless her sweet, ancient heart, works harder than these girls my age and she’s nicer too. You WILL wait for long periods sometimes, so you should perhaps only schedule on a day that you don’t have anything else going on, but that’s because he’s taking the time he actually needs with his patients, and I promise he is worth that wait!!!! If you’re like me, and want an education about what’s going on with your body/health, he’ll give you a whole master class or he’ll sum it up and just give you the meat and potatoes if that’s what you prefer.Had to come back an update this after having been a patient: get Dr. Brody in the morning. He’s a completely different person then. In the afternoons, he’s aggravated and just wants to go home I think. He recently dropped me, saying I needed an endocrinologist specializing in pituitary disorders and he’s a reproductive endocrinologist, so I guess the metabolic part in his title is a lie now.

From the minute I walked in, I felt welcomed. Dr. Brody is very knowledgeable and has the ability to communicate all the information in a simple and understanding way. I recommend him.

Review №16

Dr. Brody is genuinely the best medical experience I have ever had. He sat down and went through my entire medical histroy and all of my PCOS symptoms. As a woman who has always felt like my body didnt operate like it should. Finally finding out I have this disease, and that I was indeed correct things werent right was a relief. It was so refreshing to have a medical professional sit down and listen and not dismiss any of my thoughts or symptom complaints.20 years of feeling dismissed and one hour of sitting with Dr. Brody honestly almost made my cry tears of joy. I know this sounds strange but the validation was amazing. Additionally he explained the science behind my sympoms etc. If any other woman has had a chronic health issue you know that knowledge is power.

Dr Brody has always been exceptionally kind and caring. I go to him for hormone issues and GYN routine care. He spends quality time with me every time and tries to seek the most natural remedy possible. I feel that he genuinely cares about my health.

Review №18

I am so thankful I found Dr. Brody. He really takes the time to explain things to you, go over everything and helps you understand everything he tells you to do/take, which is so different than most doctors. I have learned so much from him. I really appreciate the time he takes to explain EVERYTHING, making sure you leave with a full understanding of everything you went over. And Pat is such a sweetheart.

Review №19

This provider lacked attention and compassion. After my initial appointment (where they didnt follow protocol regarding letting me know when/what they were doing during the physical exam) they failed to reach out to me about concerning abnormal results. When I followed up they scheduled a follow up for first thing in the morning, to which the doctor was over an hour late to his own office. When I was finally seen he was unfamiliar with my case and obviously didnt remember our previous visit or even have the decency to read my file before meeting with me. During both my initial and follow up visits he ushered me out of the exam room very quickly and then proceeded to discuss sensitive personal information regarding my condition and treatment in the main waiting room in the presence of other patients. I had to remind him this was unprofessional and if he had further things to discuss we should please do back to the exam room. After my follow up I decoded I had enough & asked for a referral for a different doctor.

Dr. B and Pat are like family to me. I have been seeing Dr. Brody and Pat for about 6 years now. After 5 miscarriages and other docs telling me there was nothing I could do I stumbled on Dr. B one night searching online. I called the next day and Pat got me in within a few days and I was astonished with Dr. Bs knowledge and passion for helping women overcome infertility and miscarriage. He takes time with EVERY SINGLE PATIENT. Over 90% of doctors load their schedules to get the most patients in and out. Not Dr. B and Pat. Dr. B gets to the root of the problem while listening to you and taking time to help you. One of the BEST docs Ive ever had the pleasure of knowing!

Review №23

It was a complete waste of time and money going to Dr Brody. he is toooooo slow and even after having an appointment you have to wait for an hour minimum at his clinic. He charged 2 hours for a 15 mins diagnosis because we were waiting for 90 mins in the waiting area. It took 2 visits to prescribe blood work and third call to prescribe Thyroid pills where my wife was negotiating the dosage looking at high TSH levels and asking him to increase the dosage. For TSH level 15 he was prescribing 25mg thyroxine. Her condition got worse in the 2 months we lost in our visits going to him. We learnt it a hard way he is not an Endocrinologist.. My wife is diagnosed with Hashimotos disease now.

Review №24

Avoid if you can, as the office manager is incredibly unprofessional. Never called me to give me my test results, despite leaving many voice mails. When I called and finally got them on a phone after a month of trying was immediately told its negative without them even knowing my name or what the test was for. When I asked what the test was, or my name, they said they were driving and had to look it up and hung up on me. Ive never felt like a doctors office cared less about patient care.
