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.

I asked a very benign question about my son's x-ray he told me "Give up control mom" and he then proceeded to pet my hands 3 separate times! Incredibly unprofessional and a terrible example of how a man should talk to and treat women. I will not follow up with him and I will NEVER recommend him to anyone. I hope Newton Wellesley Hospital sees this review! My husband is a professor and if he treated a female student this way he would be fired immediately. He was also dismissive of Urgent Care when I told him we followed up with them initially after my son injured his finger.

Rudest person I’ve ever met-not professional at all. He did not seem to care or look into my hand injury for relief. A woman stands in office to oversee-she is also rude

Worst experience I have ever had with an MD. Dr. Leslie was arrogant, condescending and incompetent He made comments such as “that’s not what I asked“, often interrupting or correcting me while I was speaking and going as far with his condescension as to irritably teaching me fingers’ names complaining about my ability to communicate where my pain was located. This was a second opinion, and his evaluation wasn’t accurate as evidenced by significant improvements I made under someone else’s care.

We saw this doctor today for an IME. He never introduced himself to us. He was very cocky. He spoke very fast even though he knew my husband was hearing impaired and seemed impatient with him when he could not hear what he was asking. Drove 4 hours for a 15 minute appointment. We were not even seen in an exam room. We left feeling very discouraged. My husband has been out of work for well over 2 years and has suffered considerably, doctor could care less.
