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.

This was a one year follow up to heart surgery. This Doctor had no test results from cardiac doctor. Little to discuss

The experience with Dr. Deaton's office has been exceptional for me as I am preparing for heart surgery. The exceptional severity of the care they will give me has been met with a standard that matches my concern. I have found them the best to work with in baystate system, from the nurses, the front desk, and the doctor himself. The amount of time they take to talk to me is genuinely appreciated and rare in my experience.

I was concerned as the provider stressed the danger/death with procedure and no viable solution.
