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.

Had bursitis in my hip and was scheduled to see Dr. McCloskey. He is clear, concise, very informative, and has enough experience that he doesn't have to guess what is wrong with you. Very nice and knowledgable person!!! I highly recommend him!

Dr. McCloskey and I actually had an amicable visit back in February, but my visit in September was anything but. I think I got 4 sentences out the entire time he was in the exam room. Not only did he deny me the opportunity to speak, he didn't listen to anything I said, and at one point actually said that one of my issues was that I was on Medicaid and getting bad doctors within my plan. I'm on Medicaid because I don't have a lot of money, so I'm not sure how he really expects me to see one of these specialists that I can't afford out of pocket. He also wouldn't write me a referral to return to physical therapy for my issue, which had helped tremendously earlier this year. I couldn't get a sentence out without being interrupted and him talking over me. McCloskey severely lacks manners and clearly could use a reminder in how to talk to people. I'll never go to this practice again because of this experience. Never have I been belittled by a doctor so harshly and for no reason.

Dr. McCloskey is very educated and informative. He displays compassion for his patients. He has taken my case seriously when other doctors would constantly blow me off. The office staff is phenomenal! They've been able to work with me throughout the last year and get results and explain everything to me thoroughly as well as order tests that I needed. Couldn't have asked for a better doctor honestly! Thank you Shore Orthopedics!
