Dr. Chernofsky is really wonderful. She's smart, energetic, and caring. I felt respected and heard during my appointment. She is really collaborative with her patients which I appreciate. She's not a warm fuzzy type and she's not going to baby you. But her real concern for her patients is very clear. Glad I found her!
