I had a doctors visit with this doctor who turned out to be a major womanizer and told me i had a year max to live (I had no thyroid issues ever before, i was just going to all specialists to find out why I was coughing) and that he would have to cut out my thyroid. I went to get a second opinion and was told i had a very healthy thyroid. I still do, 18 years later.I complained about him - nobody cared, he is still practicing in NYC.

Dr. Barandes is great. I have been going to him for 15 years. My mother goes as well. He is great Dr. I have never had a problem. I dont understand the negative reviews. He is friendly. I guess thats a bad thing these days. Thats very sad.

Simply Amazing. I met with him about 3 weeks ago and I couldnt have asked for a better experience with him. He explains everything very well, is supportive, friendly, knows what he is talking about, and really cares about getting to know you as his patient.

My consultation with this physician was very unhelpful. His bedside manner is extremely patronizing and self-righteous. He asked inappropriate, irrelevant questions during our meeting and was unresponsive and unhelpful in follow-up, unavailable personally and only dispensed advice through nurses. Getting correct prescription and dose was very difficult. Would not recommend.ETA: Someone else called him a dirty old man and a dinosaur. ACCURATE. I nearly expected him to be wearing a MAGA hat.

Excellent MD have known for 20 yearsExcellent professional who knows his job wellWould recommend him

Dr. Barandes has been my specialist for 10 years. Hes tremendous and Ive recommended him to co-workers and family who needed an endocrinologist. One of the best in NYC Tri-State area. Great bedside manner and his experience is unmatched. I give him a big thumbs up!

Excellent Dr. listens to all your concerns. The office staff is good I have been going to Dr. Barandes for 16 years

Wonderful bedside manner. Takes his time answering your questions. Wait time is a bit long but it’s because of his wonderful attention to all his patient.

I had a very bad experience scheduling an appointment. I have done it twice and both times the front desk messed up the time of my appointments. I had an appointment at 8.45am, came in early with a baby. I was waiting and waiting. When I raised a question about the doctor being late I was told that according their schedule, my appointment at 1pm. I showed them the sms confirmation, but they just said well the doctor will see you if you wait. Nobody had even bothered to mentioned when I came in that they didnt have me scheduled till 1pm. Nobody even apologized. Very bad experience.

Dirty office, dirty old man who clearly doesnt know what hes doing in the field of endocrinology. Should be retired since he is an ancient dinosaur and hasnt bothered to update his education or skills and his bedside manner sucks as well. Very rude and inappropriate person who belittles his staff and mistreats his patients. Im glad to have found an excellent endocrinologist at Mt. Sinai.

Dr. Barandes is great but you wait over 2 hours to be seen for a 10 minute appointment. So basically schedule a vacation day to see the Dr.

Very friendly, attentive and accommodating. Still in the midst of my treatment, so Ill reserve my full review until then, but I feel very comfortable with the entire staff. So far, so VERY good!

Wonderful people in the office.. very helpful and friendly. I was sent to Dr . Barandes by my regular MD and I have never regreted it.. This person cares and treats you with respect . He saved my life. becaue of him I am doing so well. I hope to continue this way . I have never felt this well in years .I have my life back !! Thank you.

I had an excellent experience at Dr. Barandes practice, much welcome after my terrible experience with my last endocrinologist (including, but not limited to, 3-hour waits, forgetting who I was at a 2-week follow-up, high copays, a dirty office, and simply writing off my extreme fatigue as working out too much).Dr. Barnades gave me a thyroid sonogram, which I havent received in my course of care thus far, and explained to me what my thyroid looked like compared to a normal one. Bloodwork was done on-site by one of his medical assistants, who was excellent. He took time to answer my questions and even provided me with recommendations for an ophthalmologist, primary care doctor, and OBGYN, all with names and addresses from memory. He also put me on a different generic form of synthroid that costs much less than the one I am currently taking. When I remarked at how thorough he was in examining my thyroid and giving me recs to other doctors, he said that it is his job to be an advocate for his patients.I left the clean, centrally-located office feeling respected, listened to, and taken care of. Dr. Barandes has definitely gained another lifelong patient.

Dr. Barandes is a knowledgable, kind person who I feel is the first endocrinologist to hear what I am saying, and who I trust to do what will give me my life back. I am not very comfortable with western medicine but I feel that this doctor understands his field and is a professional.

I began seeing him 20 years ago. He is one of the most amazing doctors on the planet!

Dr Barandes is one, of the few outstanding Professional Dr left in NYC.He is truly a great smart aknowledgeble Dr of the twenty first Century.There are only a few left in the NYC.Dr Barandes is very patient to listen to his patients concerns. A quality rarely found in most MD.I feel so fortunate that my Endocrimologist stop taking my insurance & he referred me to Dr Barandes.Sometimes we get upset with changes, but that change was the very best.I just know it the first time I stepped in his office six years ago.Y.

Dr Barandes is totally awesome! He saved my life! The best Endo in NY!!
