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.

Good experience.
Met with Dr Cassidy and Interns. We went over options. Chose needle aponeurotomy . Done in ten minutes got my hand back and straight. Now three months later finished with two rounds radiation at Cape Cod Hospital to avoid recurrence.

I had hand surgery with Dr. Cassidy to fix a swan neck deformity of my small finger. Dr. Cassidy did an excellent job repairing it, and his staff was great too. I highly recommend this compassionate, competent surgeon and his staff. It's worth the trip to Boston.Ruth Brower (Cambridge)

Excellent outcome: Broken humerus that had failed to knit under an external brace was fixed with no damage to radial nerve. From initial evaluation visit to surgery to followup I felt that I was treated - by everyone on the team - with the same attention and respect that Tom Brady would have gotten. Dr. Cassidy is outstanding; I am very glad to have met him and his great team.

Dr. Charles Cassidy is professional with great compassion. His expertise and compassionate personality went a long way to make me feel comfortable with the knowledge that I was in good hands for both my surgeries. I went to Boston to have the surgery at Tufts. I would be recommend him to friends.

none better, nor more personable. without a doubt, Dr. Cassidy is what Bird was on the parquet, only in the o.r. Brilliant surgeon and a car guy too boot. Fortunate for me we've spent about 27 plus yrs, intertwined. I break and he rebuilds it. Thanx for being my doctor, my friend, double C. Regarding the parameters below its unfortunate more stars aren't offered.

I was 19 at the time of my injurie. I was told by a Dr. previously that I would never be able to write again and my right thumb would be immobile. So I went for a second opinion from Dr. Cassidy, hearing about him from a friend. I had a fracture dislocate on my right thumb, the socket was shattered Dr. Cassidy performed surgery applied an external fixator and after it was removed and I went to PT it was extremely good shape. Today I can hardly tell anything ever happened. Thank you Dr. Cassidy!!

Most of my appointments were early. Friendly efficient staff at the office. Operation on my left arm was one of 65 and I felt like the only patient. Dr Cassidy even called me at home because he had another surgery right after mine and we didn't get to chat after. A good and happy ending to a bad problem. Thanks Dr Cassidy and staff.

I wish I knew of Dr Cassidy prior to having a carpal tunnel operation on my left hand a year ago. I continued to have problems and was referred to Dr Cassidy. He has been taking care of my hand for 6 months.He decided that cortisone injections were only a temporary fix. I like the way he will evaluate the problem and does not jump right into surgery until nothing else works. His right hand, Marcello, is very helpful in understanding your needs. I highly recommend him!!
