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.

So disappointed for a new doctor.
Gaslight incarnate. Honestly shocked he has such great reviews on MGHs website. A 4.9 out of 5??? Seems a bit more realistic on here. I am around his age and he treated me like I was a child. I have friends who have seen him and feel the same way. We have had such bad experience with the neurology office in MGH and we were hoping since he was young he would not be like his gaslighting and rude office mates. Boy were we wrong. It seems they took him under his wing and taught him their ways. I really hope he can learn about FND and realize how rare it actually is instead of assuming every female has it.

Difficult to reach, and after he finally returned my call he said he had been busy “with very sick patients”. I learned I had untreatable condition neurologically, but being in healthcare myself, was surprised at rudeness and lack of compassion. I never wanted this condition and am sorry your residency has you working long hours
