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.

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome
I can't thank Dr. Bousvaros enough for his incredible care and expertise. After years of seeing multiple doctors, being misdiagnosed, and suffering from a lot of pain as a child, Dr. Bousvaros was the first doctor to correctly diagnose me with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. It was such a relief finally knowing what was wrong. He took the time to listen to my symptoms and concerns, something that was often overlooked by others, and gave me the diagnosis and treatment I needed. Dr. Bousvaros and the team at Boston Children's Hospital have my deepest gratitude.

Great doctor!
I’ve been seeing Dr. Bousvaros for nearly 15 years after being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease when I was 8, and I couldn’t imagine a better experience. He consistently has provided trustworthy advice and care for me so that I feel comfortable handling my disease. His response time time my email questions is incredibly prompt, and he is very flexible with scheduling to ensure I am seen if something comes up. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Amazing Doctor!
Dr. Bousvaros is absolutely wonderful! So kind and compassionate and really listens to his patients. I feel we were blessed when we found him and we are confident that he always has our son's best interests at heart. Truly the best doctor we have ever encountered.

I feel the exact same way as the last review! I brought him all my daughters tests that had been done. My daughter started stomach pain 8 months ago and is now worse, with other symptoms! He will not run any other tests and won't listen to me as a mother. It was tough to get MY thoughts in because he already gave his final thoughts and wouldn't listen"she needs to have therapy to manage her chronic pain!" Here's a thought, how about find the reason she's in pain!! I left crying with no hope.

If I could give zero starts, I would. We traveled from Az, desperate for an answer for our ill daughter. He promised to take an unbiased approach, admitting her for 5 days. Forgotten was the unbiased approach. All that was done was to review outside scans from months before, all of which he has before our arrival. Nothing but blood tests were perormed. Albeit, all abnormal, I didn't find out until I returned home, accessing her chart remotely. we experienced nothing but hostility and judgement
