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.

Annual Checkup
Simply not a pleasant individual. Dismissive, non-engaging, and appears to not enjoy his job. Makes dangerous diagnosis with limited information proven to be be completely false or misleading at a specialist office.

Super Doctor
Dr Brennan is very knowledgeable and personable. I’ve been his patient since 2019 and I’ve found him to be caring, helpful and very down to earth. I am grateful that he has successfully monitored my health and definitely recommend him!

This is the worst practice I’ve ever been to in my entire life Stacey DeSantis Dr. Brennan and the other lady doctor there are the worst their negative and nasty people that are very disrespectful to all of the patients that come into that office. I will not be returning I’m surprised they have any patients that still go there .

Dr. Brennan takes the time to really listen to any health issues you have doing your visit and he is pro-active to prevent any future problems. He has an excellent staff who treats you like family. I would highly recommend his practice.

Mentioned I had other "ailments" to Brennan - he said & I quote "you have a 15 minute appointment regarding esophagus issues"....."when you call you need to make sure you request more than 15 minutes" What??? Receptionist has never said how long my appt would be in 2 years going here. Told Brennan other ailments may be related...He said...ok..rattle them off to me... I walked out - never going back. STAY AWAY. Should not be in practice.

The entire practice is terrible. Not one doctor there is helpful or spends any quality time with you. They are in and out as quickly as possible. Reception staff is incredibly rude. They make you feel like you are making them all stop socializing and actually do their job. Saying "what do you want" when you approach the reception area is unacceptable. If you want honest, quality medical care with a pleasant and caring bedside manner, go elsewhere.
