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.

I called on a Wednesday to see the doctor because I was sick. The first open slot was that Friday and I took it. I accidentally wrote my appointment time wrong by 15 minutes so therefor showed up 15 minutes late. The doctor refused to see me. Knowing that I was sick and that my lateness was due to a mistake, that I most likely made because I was ill, he refused to see me. I have never heard of such a policy where a doctor refuses to see one of his patients due to being a bit late. Mind you, he makes his patients wait longer than 15 minutes. Since there were no patients in the waiting room, I asked the receptionist if the doctor could make an exception seeing as there was no one waiting. The receptionist was actually gleeful to say that there were no exceptions and that he could offer me an appointment the following week. Obviously, I didn't wait and went to an urgent care/walk in clinic. I do not recommend this doctor. He is completely irresponsible when it comes to his patients health

I have recently visited Dr. McWha at his new office in Newburyport for a yearly physical, and was very pleased with his thorough questions. He had the ability to listen with patience while communicating thoughtfully. He seemed to care about his job and his patient's overall health.
