  • Brian W.

    I am extremely pleased with the medical treatment I’ve received from Dr. David Mack. I’ve been to many physicians during my lifetime. Dr. Mack stands out because he CARES about his patients. Yes, I’m happy with the medical results he’s achieved so far with me, but even more importantly his caring attitude strikes me as rare (unfortunately) in the medical profession. As a Dentist, I too treat patients, so I recognize professionalism when I experience it. When my patients need a recommendation to a physician, I tell them David Mack is my guy. David is a very smart, caring physician. The medical profession needs many more like him.

  • Denise R., MA, EdM

    Dr. Richard Mueller is one of the finest physicians in New York City. I have complex medical issues that have perplexed many specialists for over 15 years. Dr. Mueller is always thorough, respectful, methodical and compassionate. I have been to many other doctors who just gave up on my medical problems. Dr. Mueller is organized, has a very competent and respectful staff, has cable news and computers for use in his waiting room, and is able to perform many tests right his office, which saves patients time and expense. Dr. Mueller is a perfect combination of an obviously brilliant physician and an extremely caring person.

    Having a physician who is thorough, scientific in his approach and who takes the necessary time to explain things and answer questions is enormously important for anyone with a complex illness. Sometimes there is await in the waiting room, but it is well worth it. Dr. Mueller’s physician colleagues are also as thorough and skilled as he is. Trust me, I’ve been to literally scores of not so great MD’s in NYC, and Dr. Mueller is without a doubt one of the best and one of the very very good ones. I hope I can find just as good MD’s where I am moving to !

    I will miss you so much [patient relocating]. You’re an amazing doctor, and the world is lucky to have you.You know it’s my opinion that you’re one of the best MDs in the world. I hope I can find an MD as amazing and wonderful as you after I relocate from NYC.

  • Emilie H.

    I greatly appreciate the superb evaluations you provide in your office; I am familiar with many physicians and you are the best in that regard ! Even though I had to wait to see you, it was worth it.

  • Joyce F.

    Dr. Mueller is the best ! All the patients love him, respect him, and appreciate him. I feel fortunate that he is my doctor.

  • Arthur A.

    Kept me alive and made me well after cardiomyopathy. The best.

  • Arlene B.

    Dr. Mueller is an excellent doctor and I highly recommend him.

  • Judith L.

    Dr. Mueller found the source of a cardiac problem I’ve had most of my life and offered an innovative and noninvasive way to treat it. He answered every one of my many questions and made me feel that my health is important to him. His testing facility is top notch, his staff is thorough and friendly and I had the most comprehensive care I’ve ever experienced.

  • Charles H.

    I have been a cardiac patient of Dr. Mueller for more than a dozen years, during which time I have had a triple bypass and angioplasty. (I’m a septuagenarian and, thanks to his treatment, I’m still able to do a heavy weight workout at the gym and speedwalk 20+ miles per week.) In addition to being an excellent cardiologist, always aware of the latest studies and treatments and willing to discuss the pros and cons thereof, Dr. Mueller is a caring and compassionate physician who will spend as much time answering a patient’s questions and explaining in layman’s terms as the patient requires. His reputation as one of the best cardiologists in New York is well deserved.

  • Judge JAL

    Doctor Mueller likely saved my life when he ordered a CT scan, which exposed a pancreatic abnormality. I am forever grateful for his diligence, professionalism and heartfelt concern for me, and for all his patients.

  • Fanny C.

    My name is Fanny C. I am very happy to have come to Medical Associates of New York for sclerotherapy of my varicose veins. Realistically, I have had an incredible change. I believe I will be able to wear a mini skirt soon and show my legs again, something that I couldn’t do for many years. The difference from before and now is easily noticeable. I give thanks to God and to Dr Mueller and all the people that in one way or another have made it possible for this miracle.

    No more pain – no more swelling !!!

  • Maria P.

    I have been a patient of Dr. Mueller’s for years. Dr. Mueller is thorough, thoughtful, knowledgeable, open minded and most importantly a terrific listener. Most doctors make no eye contact and see you for 15 minutes. Dr. Mueller is very attentive and takes the time to listen to your concerns and work collaboratively. The only problem is there are not many doctors like Dr. Mueller so you will probably be very disappointed with your other doctors. Dr. Mueller is the best.

  • Arlene K.

    I am a patient of Dr. Mueller’s for 6 years. He has saved my life. I don’t trust any other doctor like I trust him. He does not treat you like you are a number; he treats you like you are a family member. He is the best doctor ever !

  • Irene M.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Richard Mueller at his Vein and Laser Institute. His eye for detail and concern for the patient’s wants and needs are something i rarely have come across in my visits to other doctors offices. He truly cares about the needs and outcome of his patients. I recommend going to see him if you want a doctor that takes his time in listening to your concerns and expectations, working with you to meet these outcomes.

  • Jeremy S.

    When I first came to the Doctor, my upper thighs looked like an interstate road map and my lower legs looked like 3D topographical map of the Rockies. Now they are as smooth and calm as a rolling field in Iowa. Thank you Dr. Mueller !

I definitely recommend Dr. Mueller.

  • Kathleen O.

    Dr. Richard Mueller performed a laser procedure on my varicose veins (both legs). This procedure has improved many aspects of my life – gone are the ‘ugly legs’ and now I can proudly wear a skirt. Also, I am not afraid of hitting my legs and causing an ulcer. Dr. Mueller was wonderful – compassionate and I could see he really cares for his patients.

  • Stanley K.

    Dr. Mueller is superb in every aspect; the very best. Not only is he my long standing cardiologist, but he made my very large varicose veins look like a before & after poster by eliminating them with laser followed by ambulatory phlebectomy. He is skilled and compassionate, and takes his time with patients. You do not need to look any further for an incredible physician, cardiologist, & vein expert !

  • Michael F.

    I had a very comforting and secure experience with Dr. Mueller and his staff. My legs were in very bad shape when I came in and with Dr. Mueller’s help they have greatly improved since then. I recommend Dr. Mueller to others.

I recommend Dr. Mueller to all my friends because I feel happy again and very blessed to find such a good doctor. I can trust my legs!

  • Jeff T.

  • Richard B.

    I’ve been a patient of Dr. Richard Mueller for several years. The vascular disease I suffered from was both physically uncomfortable and embarrassing. The treatment I received from Dr. Mueller and his staff literally changed my life. I am truly grateful.

  • Arthur A

    Dr. Mueller is the finest physician I have ever had. I have entrusted my life in his hands for over 15 years and he is the only Doc I would empower to be my medical team leader. His judgment and diagnostic & communication abilities are impeccable, as is his medical advocacy on my behalf. He actually listens, gives me full attention, and truly cares. He is always reachable immediately; I couldn’t be happier in the concierge program, which gives me extra security and confidence and I love the instant priority, no wait appointments, as well as the value, added tests that would not normally be covered.
