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.

Worst Doctor
I'm writing this review on behalf of the horrible medical care my father received from Dr. France. He's in his late 60's. After receiving a covid booster and the flu shot from a pharmacy he was bedridden with an unbearable headache, vertigo, and trouble breathing. The headache subsided and the other symptoms remained for close to a year. My father was unable to stand up for more than a minute or two without having to sit down. Prior to getting these shots he was healthy and very active. He lost over 30 pounds and continued to lose weight. Dr. France thought he had cancer. My dad was sent for testing, no GI or lung cancer. Dr. France could not find anything wrong with him. My dad transferred to a new Dr. in Hudson Falls. Right away they found that he had hyperthyroidism and low oxygen. He's never been the same since, but at least he has a Dr. that cares about him.

Archaic Methods!
Dr still believes pharmacies fill narcotic scripts early!!! I am disabled and Dr doesn't send scripts to pharmacy until last minute. Completely rediculous!! Blizzard today. And I have to drive in it to get a script!! Absolutely the worst health care I've seen in 14 years!!!!!

He was very short and offered no insight pertaining to an injury I received from a car accident. My sternovacular joint is swollen and is noticeable. When I asked what is wrong with it he said the only reason it looked swollen was how I was moving my arm. Went to see another doctor a week later and was told that it's inflamed and there's most likely some tearing to the joint. Was prescribed medication to help it along. Dr. France was of no help. Disappointed in my visit/money spent to see him.

The doctor was in the room 3 minutes. His greeting upon entering the room was hello, what is the problem your having today I came in for swollen legs and feet. The doctor looked at my feet and noticed week old blisters. Upon this discovery he came to the conclusion my feet were swollen because of the heat and walking. he never asked me any questions about my feet. A week later my primary physician diagnosed me with multiple Clots in my legs.
