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.

Overall a good doctor
Ive enjoyed my time with Dr Colby. I like his more natural approach to things. He's not eager to throw you on just any medication. He does seem caring and is gentle in his approach. I do think theres room for improvement. Specifically listening to the patient. I don't feel as though the information I give is being understood or used in a manner to help my situation. I think with some adjustments towards working with the patient and what they are saying, this rating could be 5 star.

I was seeing Dr. Cole before a few years before he moved to Derry Medical Center, he was the best doctor I have had in many years. Now that he’s back with Concord Hosp I would like to try to see him again. He is very caring and listens to your problems. I really hope I can get him as a doctor again.

A very good PCP
I’ve been seeing Dr Colby for three years. Have always found him to be warm, caring, a good listener, and knowledgeable. Good bedside manner, takes his time, makes me feel like he cares about my whole health. Has talked me through options for a few issues where there were treatment choices with various trade offs to consider.

Saw both my parents. Tried to get them off all their meds. My mother is severely mentally ill and my father is severely disabled. Acted like he knew better then their other doctors who have way more experience on their exact illnesses. Incredibly narcissistic and aggressive. Basically interrogated them. Stay far away from him.

Dr. Colby is very proactive and seems to genuinely care about his patients. While he is very friendly and never makes you feel rushed he also will tell you what you need to hear. Ive had him as a PCP for over a year and I'm very happy.
