Todd Kaye, MD

Wow, Dr. Kaye is truly a fantastic endocrinologist — I wish all doctors were this smart, thorough, proactive and personable. He spent lots of time with me asking detailed questions, doing a thorough exam, setting me up with comprehensive tests, explaining tests results and diagnosis, and advising next steps. I’m especially impressed by how incredibly quickly he gets back to me — within a couple hours of my CT scan and MRI, he had emailed me with findings and diagnosis. Amazing! He is so reassuring and helpful, too. Dr. Kaye is fantastic and I’m so happy that he’s my endocrinologist!

I am (or was, as I plan on leaving him ASAP) a long time patient of Dr Kaye. I stayed with him mostly because he’s fairly amicable, but when it comes to spending time to listen to patients, he can feign it, but it’s pretty noticeable that, even when his office is empty (which is usually the case), he wants to move the patient out of his office as soon as possible.
I have a very complicated medical background (type 1, technically, but in my later years formed heavy insulin resistance). At one point, when my insulin requirements jumped drastically, I asked him point blank on why that might have occurred. His response? «Diabetes is still a mystery to medicine.» Wow, reassuring, huh? No further followup, no question or pursuit into a cause; just a shrug of the shoulders and told me to increase my daily insulin amounts.
The final straw for me is his office’s complete inability to fill a script. Long and short of it, he prescribed me on U-​500 for an insulin pump. Despite me explaining to his office – multiple times over the last year – that the pump is reporting values based on U-​100, so he cannot write a script on that dosage (but rather multiply by 5), both he and his office *refused* to do so. I am continually short on insulin, often pleading with my pharmacists with allowing me to reorder a month or more earlier than allowed. And, despite that my pharmacists (and I) have told him that my insurance will not accept «fill as prescribed», his office continues to do so. He will alternate between giving a dosage far below what I use to «fill as prescribed», meaning that I will be within a day of not having insulin just because they cannot accept the fact that the patient might actually know what they’re talking about.
In a nutshell, he’s a nice guy, but I would not recommend seeing him.

This doctor doesn’t know much about Thyroid diseases. His knowledge about thyroid is quite stale, and he cannot effectively diagnose thyroid diseases. Another bigger issue is that he doesn’t take patients’ concerns/​questions seriously, and his attitude is terrible. I would suggest avoid him if possible.

I’ve had multiple hormone issues that were complicated for my internist. Dr. Kaye gave all the time i needed, with LOTS of detailed explanation. He directed me to get blood test done and called me with the results. He has continued to give me support by phone and in person. I feel like I finally have found a very knowledgeable, reliable doctor!

Be aware that Dr. Kaye received over $ 130,000 last year from pharmaceutical companies.

If he were my doctor I would take any drug recommendations related to GlaxoSmithKline with a huge grain of salt.

Dr. Kaye is an amazingly knowledgeable doctor who is very caring and professional. He takes the time necessary to do a thorough exam, and he explains the procedure as he does it. As a patient, I always appreciate docs who explain what they are doing and why as well as the disease states they are checking for. I had a thyroid problem, and Dr. Kaye explained to me thoroughly and helped me get back to normal thyroid levels. He continues to monitor regularly and is impeccable with follow-​up. I highly recommend him for his expertise, his gentle manner, and his patient care.

He is not a knowledgeable doctor. Does not listen to the problem carefully. He seems like a junior doctor, definitely not a specialist. I won’t see him in future again and won’t recommend him either.
