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.

Such a horrendous experience from start to finish. In the end they actually came into my appointment before the doctor and said, "We had an issue getting a referral from your insurance company, because it is out of network, so what do you want to do? We can continue with the consult but it may be denied and could come back on you for payment." After I drove 30 minutes to my appointment. So many other things went wrong, but the level of unprofessionalism of this one thing was over the top. When asked why I was not notified prior to the appointment, Nikki stated that she had just gotten the denial that morning.

I normally go to Spaulding Rehab to get my injections but I was in a car accident last year and my PCP referred me to Dr. Sasa Periskic. He was so compassionate and explained my options, which I did not receive by my prior doctor. He is very kind and knowledgeable. I like the fact they do urine tests on every patient/visit, even though some may find this offensive, I find it refreshing that a physician cares and doesn't take no nonsense.
