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.

Caring, top notch doctor
I have been a patient for many years. He is one of the most caring, non judgmental practitioners I have worked with for my diabetes. Dr. Bombassei listens and responds with compassion. I highly recommend him.

Would not recommend
I was seeing Dr. Bombassei for a few years as I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition. I found him extremely unprofessional, terrible bedside manner, and honestly not up to date on medical news. I know finding an endo can be extremely difficult, but there is a reason he is always accepting patients. I’d highly suggest getting on a waitlist for someone else.

He's the best doctor I've ever had and I have/ hadquite a few. He's been able to keep my Type II diabetes and hypothyroidism stable over 20+ years, tweaking it here and there. His knowledge about my leukemia and blood cancers, along with CKD is extremely helpful. His intelligence and caring is most unusual. I never feel rushed with him. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Bombassei is one of the best doctors I've had in my life and I've had many good ones. I was referred to him from some distance b/c he was "the best". He immediately diagnosed an excruciatingly painful and rare condition that other specialists had missed. In addition to being brilliant, he's kind, attentive, and wants to hear what you have to say and want to ask. He is also forthright and informative and respects what you have to say - which I find at my age (70) is very rare. I can't say enough good about him!

He listens! Dr. Bombassei is compassionate and an excellent physician. He helped me during the most difficult time in my life. Without his medical expertise, my health would have spiraled out of control. I simply cannot praise him enough.

I was referred to Gregory Bombassei by my primary physician to consult on whether it was medically necessary for me to repeat a fine needle aspiration. When I spoke to Bombassei's secretary to schedule an appointment I questioned the doctor's plan to repeat an ultrasound. I was told that someone would get back to me. A week later Bombassei's secretary called to advise me that the doctor decided not to accept me as a patient. Apparently this doctor prefers patients who don't ask questions.
