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.

Receptionist is Awful on 12/12/2023
We absolutely have so much respect and admiration for Dr Molly and all of her staff int he past, the receptionist today and yesterday is awful - and that is the nicest thing I can say. I highly recommend Dr Molly D'Costa, but if called the office and got the receptionist and wanted to talk to Dr Molly about this, I know darn well that would not have happened.

Not Equipped to handle patients w anxiety/stress
If I could give 0 stars I would. Terrible, terrible experience with Dr. D’Costa. On Tuesday, May 9th, As advised by urgent care, I followed up with Dr. Molly D'costa due to my increased Heart palpitations, stress and anxiety. During the consultation, I explained the traumatic event that triggered these events and conveyed to Dr. D'costa the severe distress it caused me. However, to my dismay, she appeared to downplay the severity of the situation and even dismissed the stress it caused me. She didn’t ask me any follow up questions regarding my history with stress. She kept insisting it was my Thyroid. She abruptly left without inquiring if I had any further questions or concerns. I find this behavior extremely concerning, especially since I expected Dr. D'costa to be professional and provide me with the necessary support and guidance. They did my bloodwork, they’re receptionist called me letting me know that my Thyroid Hormone was elevated, they didn’t explain what it meant or what it

Wonderful doctor, wonderful person. Dr. D'Costa and staff are excellent. I have a severe BP issue, and she has my numbers way way down and I am feeling so much better. I drive in from southwest Michigan where I live, to see her as my doctor. I'm so thankful that she is my doctor!

Best Doctor I’ve ever had, I’m 52 yrs old... have been to many, many doctors through out my life and Dr D’Costa is all around the best, she is nothing short of FANTASTIC! I‘ve been going to her for years now but I first ran into her at a quick care facility and was devastated when I heard she’d “moved on”. Later I found out that she started her own practice, so trying to do what I could to help her grow her business, I told my wife how great she is, she in turn started telling her friends ... all have expressed the same, “what a breath of fresh air comparatively”. What make Dr D’Costa different, better ... the list is long but primarily; she cares, she communicates and takes the time. I can’t say / write enough positive about this lady... great person and even better doctor!

I was a patient of Dr. D'Costa for several years. She also treated my elderly father. She was always compassionate and caring, always ready to answer all questions. She's knowledgeable and professional while lending a personal touch to her care of her patients.

Dr. Molly surpasses "good bedside manner" & reaches levels of extraordinary, phenomenal, and out of this world! She is a great listener & answers questions. She knows what questions to ask to fully understand. She is organized & conscientious. She let's you know that she genuinely cares. She has even called a few time to follow up with me. She has a great sense of humor. Molly has been my doctor for about 4 years & even though she goes to St Joe's I will stick with her.

Unfortunately I can’t leave a review. After working for 50 years I am now on Medicare and they are not taking any Medicare patients. I am ver disappointed as I have several family members that are patients of Dr Molly. I did give Dr an excellent rating because my family is extremely happy with the service.

Dr. D'Costa takes time and really cares about her patients medical issues. She is never rushed and spends time with patients. She really listens to you and answers questions about medical issues and concerns. I am so glad she accepts my insurance plan.....I saw her several years ago and then again recently and I am still pleased with her demeanor and care.

I have gone to Dr. D'Costa a few times now and I am more impressed with her each time I go. I take my kids to her for check ups and illnesses. She has provided prompt and thorough care each time. She is professional as they come, and her bedside manner is off the charts. Their is no better way to show you trust a doctor than to let one treat your children. Our family has definitely found our "Family Doc" and we could not be happier or feel safer.

i see most of her reviews are good. wish i could say the same. she mis diagnosed 2 of my family members,who thank God went elsewhere . She also needs a refresher course in HIPPA, as she loves to gossip. please don't be fooled by your first impression of her.Think hard, even get a second opinion before deciding.My family and I am so glad we went elsewhere .

Dr. D'Costa listens and has wonderful bedside manner! Her staff is always smiling and also listen to any concerns I have. My entire family goes to doctor D'Costa my infant - husband. He will go see her without putting up a fight. That speaks volumes, because he never goes to the doctor,but will go see Dr. D'Costa.
