He treats both my hypothyroidism and my type 2 diabetes, helping me choose medication with the least amount of filler or additives, approving any tests i want to do, and he guided me through my pregnancy successfully.

He is the type of endochrinologist who will emphasize sourcing quality food and eating the right amount, under his care i lost 90 lbs with little change to my lifestyle.

I am writing this review to help others and to warn others or anyone wanting this Doctor's care. I…read moreformally express my extreme distress and concern regarding the medical care provided to my late husband, who tragically passed away at 51 years old due to cardiac arrest approximately three weeks after his last visit to your office, where my husband was your patient for over 5 years while entrusted to your care, and you failed him. He was a walking time bomb with three blocked coronary arteries at 97%, an enlarged heart, and arteriosclerosis. If you would of been proactive as all diabetic patients are at increased risk of heart disease he would be here today but instead you left me a single Mom with 3 children. I was shocked and deeply disturbed when, during my phone call to you informing you of his death, I asked you why, with Type 2- Diabetes and a family history of heart disease, you did not send my 51-year-old husband to a cardiologist. Your answer, "HE HAD NO SYMPTOMS," SO BASICALLY YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN PREVENTATIVE CARE. Then, to my surprise, despite having his records, they show otherwise. The apparent alteration of medical records to cover up this serious omission is unacceptable and deeply troubling, as it is easy to do since you are not electronic; you still take notes on paper. It is highly concerning that your practice still relies on handwritten notes rather than electronic health records, which allows for record manipulation. I urge you to reflect on the serious consequences your lack of thoroughness has had on my family, and I hope you will consider retiring before any other lives are needlessly endangered. Furthermore, I was also a patient of yours for hyperthyroidism, and during my treatment, you never thoroughly examined my neck for nodules or checked my eyes. This negligence in basic preventative care only reinforces the lack of diligence in your practice, which tragically contributed to my husband's death. Sad but I am not the only one that has said this and knows of you Dr. Birnbaum. I dont write this reveiw lightly but with complete facts behind it SHAME ON YOU how do you life with yourself?

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Shifrin and his entire staff. I had a large nodule that…read morewas pushing up against my windpipe and making it difficult to swallow. After my needle biopsy showed a positive reading naturally I was very nervous. I got in to see Dr. Shifrin within a week of the biopsy results to come up with a game plan. I'm on blood thinners so it makes for a complicated case. He did another ultrasound on it to confirm the size and he thought its in my best interest to remove the whole thing instead of half bc if the surgical biopsy came back positive then I would have to go back in and remove the other side. With me being on blood thinners for life it would be dangerous to stop again so that's what we did. Leading up to the day of surgery I kept in contact with Amy C who coordinated all my visits and paperwork. She was awesome! She took all my nervous calls and calmed me down every time. Post surgery I was swelling up pretty good so I reached out to Amy who then connected my with Tara the PA. She got right back to me in between their scheduled surgeries and saw me to look at the swelling. She and Dr. Shifrin both met up with me and did another ultrasound to make sure there was no fluid build up in my neck. After they saw me they went back to their next scheduled surgery. Tara followed up with me for the next couple of days to see how I was doing. The pathology report came in within a week and it was positive for papillary cancer. Tara called me again to go over it and was very compassionate and calmed me down. I just had my 2 week follow up with both Dr. Shifrin and PA Tara Corrigan and they were pleased to tell me that all the cancer was removed and I'm free of it now. My family and I thank everyone there for walking with us through this tough scary journey. If you're shopping around for a thyroid surgeon and happened on this review please take my word and come see them. You wont regret it!

If you do not have a thyroid, are experiencing symptoms, and are hoping to find a physician who…read morewill listen and provide individualized care, this is not the practice for you. You may be told your lab values are "in range" while continuing to experience symptoms that are both real and treatable. After waiting several months, I was finally seen by Dr. Shifrin-Douglas on July 23, 2025. I arrived hopeful, encouraged by her professional background and reputation. The nurse who initially reviewed my history was excellent--kind, attentive, and validating--which made me optimistic going into the visit. Unfortunately, the overall experience with both the physician and the office left me feeling dismissed, unheard, and emotionally exhausted. When patient care is reduced to a rigid focus on lab ranges rather than the whole patient, those with complex medical histories are often failed. For important context, I have lived without a thyroid for 24 years. Over that time, I have learned to recognize the signs of inadequate hormone replacement. When my TSH tripled over the course of a few months, I experienced a sudden and severe worsening of symptoms. I knew my medication dose was no longer appropriate for someone without a thyroid. Despite this clear change and its impact, my concerns were largely disregarded. Although the increase in TSH closely matched the escalation of symptoms, my explanation was dismissed because the value remained technically "within range." My symptoms were instead largely attributed to perimenopause, rather than addressing the possibility of inadequate thyroid replacement. This was especially frustrating given my long history managing this condition. I exercise regularly, follow a non-inflammatory diet, and have taken an active role in my health for decades. I am very attuned to my body and know when something is not right. Still, I left the appointment feeling unheard. I was told to return in six months, which was later reduced to three months after I raised concerns. I was also surprised that Free T3 was not included in the laboratory tests ordered, despite its importance for patients without thyroids. TSH is an inverse marker, and Free T3 often correlates more closely with symptoms in individuals who do not produce thyroid hormone on their own. In an effort to advocate for myself, I sent multiple messages that included peer-reviewed medical literature supporting appropriate dose adjustments for post-thyroidectomy patients. The response was a very small weekly increase, which was insignificant relative to my overall dosage. When I requested further adjustment, I was told to wait several weeks to determine whether the change helped, effectively asking me to continue feeling unwell before reconsideration. The contrast with my current care has been striking. I have since found a physician who listens to symptoms, understands post-thyroidectomy physiology, and made a significantly more appropriate adjustment to my treatment. He emphasized that patients without thyroids often feel best with very low or even below-range TSH, and that Free T3 is an essential value. As a result, I now feel approximately 75% better, which clearly demonstrates the impact of appropriate care. Compounding this experience was the difficulty navigating the office itself. I spent multiple afternoons attempting to switch to another provider within the same practice, only to be told this was not allowed. I was repeatedly advised that I had already received an adjustment and needed to wait. I then spent many days trying to find another endocrinologist who accepted my insurance and was not booking many months out, leaving me without adequate care during that time. I am grateful this chapter is behind me, but the lack of responsiveness and patient-centered care from both the physician and the office staff was deeply disappointing. I understand that healthcare providers are under significant pressure, but patients--especially those with lifelong conditions--are the ones who suffer when care becomes overly rigid. For what it's worth, the office itself is very nice.
