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.

Dr. Wise cancelled a critical, badly needed appointment without cause, and refuses to reschedule.

I was referred to Dr Wise and he started treatment for my RA. . Decided to go to Lahey Clinic outside Boston for another opinion. I took all of my records and was told Dr Wise had done all the tests and treatment protocols exactly as he should have. My diagnosis and treatment was right on target, I just had to give it more time to work. There was nothing for the Clinic to add. Great to know that Kingston has someone so knowledgeable.

A patient in Kingston, NY – Mar 10, 2018

I went in with an open positive mind on a non flare day. Big mistake! Mr Wise seemed bothered by having to see a patient, was extremely rude & snippy. His exam was too basic & his diagnosis was totally off the wall having nothin 2 do with my symptoms. While explaining my issues, he cut me off & scolded 4 daring to not follow rules of questioning. I fully believe that due to my being in recovery for several years, I was treated with extreme bias. This man has serious issues & shouldn't practice!

Be glad he's not accepting any more patients! He needs to retire now! He puts me on medications and accuses me of overdoing it when I had clearly taken the prescribed amount! Which is easily indicated on the bottle that has the date of it filled. 2 times in 6 months he did this when I tried to refill my prescriptions he made a huge error by not looking at my file to see that I was correct before he accused me of "stockpiling" or "taking too much" he's HORRIBLE!!! Never experienced a dr like him
