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.

Absolutely the BEST doctor my husband and I have ever had! 5 stars. He takes his time with my husband and I. He truly cares about his patients. We will follow him if he changes locations!

I have been with Dr. Fennelly since his first office about 13 -14 years. I’ve followed him to 4 different offices and I would follow him again. He listens to me and acts on my concerns or makes recommendations for things I can do on my own. This makes me feel that I have options. He never makes me feel bad or makes me feel judged. I recommend him to anyone who will listen. I will say that the office staff at his last office were terrible. They were rude and I had several issues with them.

Based on my interactions with The front end staff, I have NEVER been treated more rudely condescendingly. The secretary actually lied about leaving a message for me on my phone that I still have saved saying she didn’t receive records that I had to have sent over two times. She also said she didn’t get my initial paperwork even though it never got sent back in the mail to my house. Must be at the post office still after four months! Cancelled my appt. at last minute after waiting three months.
