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.

Very knowledgeable and takes the time to fully answer questions

I was referred to Dr. Mega when I had to change my entire cancer care team. (prostate cancer)I had an appointment within 1 week. I kept getting the run around from the other cancer team( if that's what they are) that what I was experiencing was not from the effects/side effects from Lupron...Dr. mega validated that it was indeed the Lupron...he spent a lot of time with me answered all my questions with the explanation behind them...We discussed so much about my prostate cancer that the other team just brushed aside..I truly feel he cares about ME and my treatment and outcome....Dr. mega is a kind, compassionate caring Doctor..I also saw a nurse care coordinator, a social worker and each spent as much time with me as I needed...they even picked up on a very serious Knee issue I have...I am so grateful I was referred to him

Dr Mega ran a scan on my husband to see if he had any new tumors. One was in his liver, but Dr Mega forgot to tell us or treat it. Months later, another dr. express his sympathy about my husband's liver tumor. This is how we learned about it! Dr Mega was too embarrassed to confront us, so he sent in a young PA to give us the news. I insisted on seeing Dr Mega. He came in and said that my husband was too weak for surgery. Nothing could be done. We found dr. Dupuy at RI hospital and tumor ablated
