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 have been a patient of this doctor for two years, he is very experienced and works with you closely to find a solution. I find his manner and care very comforting as he has always listened and explains what is going on. He is also very responsive to messages via the Patient Gateway App.

After 2 visits to Newton Wellesley Hospital emergency, I was referred to this office. I called to make appt. Appt was made for 3 weeks out. Just as I was thanking receptionist, she chimed in to tell me the office did not accept my insurance. I replied I would pay cash. Receptionist told me she now couldn't book appointment. She said she was sorry and we hung up. I can't help but realize this is why health care is so poor and unavailable to those in need. Greedy Dr's like this should feel shame.
