Dr. Covit gives the patient the time he or she needs to explain things properly and to do everything that needs to be done. Sometimes that results in having to wait to see him.

I intend to continue seeing him and I'm very happy with his treatment.
Dr Covit is an outstanding physician. The office suite however, has become shabby with dirty chairs in the waiting room. It is a somewhat unpleasant space.
Wish I had been better informed of the hospital technology using for this visit Turned out just had telephone conversation
Always a very complete, informative, and caring visit
he's always been caring and very knowledgeable and willing to take the time to explain medications and how they work and what to do to keep healthy. This is probably because he runs a little late sometime...he's busy taking care to answer questions and keep his patients informed about what's up with their health.
