Dr. Michael Temkin

Hours: Dr. Michael Temkin is a physician known for his comprehensive approach to patient care. He emphasizes understanding the overall health of his patients, taking time to listen and address various health concerns, rather than just treating symptoms. Many patients appreciate his thoroughness, noting that he gets to the root of health issues, which has led to positive outcomes for them over the years. However, some patients have expressed dissatisfaction with his hormone replacement therapy (HRT) approach, describing it as a "one-size-fits-all" method that does not consider individual needs. Concerns have been raised about excessive hormone levels and the high annual costs associated with his treatment plans. Some have found better results with alternative providers who offered more personalized care. The office staff's demeanor has also received mixed reviews, with reports of rudeness and a lack of empathy when patients express concerns or seek to transfer care. Despite these criticisms, many patients have experienced significant health improvements, including successful weight loss and management of conditions like PCOS. The LeanMD program, which Dr. Temkin’s team supports, has been particularly praised for its structured approach to weight management and lifestyle changes. Overall, Dr. Temkin is a capable physician who can deliver effective care, but potential patients should consider their specific needs and preferences when seeking treatment.
