Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It's clearly pretty crazy in the ER right now with COVID, but Dr. Raja took the time and effort to explain things to me. It was pretty scary without my son who usually takes me to the hospital, but I really felt comfortable at MGH. I love that hospital!

So I ended up in the ER on new years eve. It was SO embarrassing! My friends brought me in and stayed all the way until I left (love you both!) and this doctor was just so so good. He was patient, didn't judge me, and even made sure my friends had plenty to water so they didn't feel bad in the morning.
