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.

Not a good experience
i wound up bleeding (and in menopause) just at the time Covid started, and had to see him at an inopportune time. Dr Agena was not happy to see me, needless to say. I understood that, but i found him to be very rude. After seeing him, I paid bills and left... and about 3 years later, I got a bill in the mail from his office stating i had never paid.... I told them that i knew i had paid, and why did they wait so long to send me this bill. they said there was a mix up in office and some paperwork got messed up. I had to prove to them that i paid, which i eventually did after having to go through paperwork from previous years. I won't go back. thumbs down

Compassionate
Dr. Agena was a great physician to have during my pregnancy. He answered all my questions, every visit. Made sure I felt safe as a woman of color who understands the health system. When my fears of having a C-section became reality he assured my family and me that everything will be great and the c section was what was in the best interest of the baby and my health. He also did a great job on my c section and my scar is almost invisible. His staff (the woman on front office and the nurse) could use some self compassionate training, but don’t let that deter you from missing out on a great physician.

Dr. Gary Agena is 1 of the very best OBGYN/SURGEON ON THE NORTHSHORE AND 2 years ago on April 7th 2016 is when I became his patient and he’s been good to me since this year. And I love him with all my heart and I don’t know what I would do without him because he’s the best.

Don’t let this man touch you! He nearly killed me during a simple partial Hysterectomy. He hit a main Artery and more than half of my blood dumped into my stomach. I’m lucky to be alive today. Every doctor since him says im a miracle and to be glad that I’m still here and alive.

Absolutely LOVE Dr. Agenda and his staff! I'm a big critical person when it comes to Doctors, office, AND their staff! The first thing I notice is if it's clean (yes I even look at the cleanliness of the waiting room) & 2nd I listen & watch the front desk b/c they play a huge role as well. His office is clean, his front desk is professional & polite, his nursing staff are the Sweetest ladies you'll meet & very welcoming, and Dr. Agena TRULY listens to me! LOVE THEM!!

Dr. Agena is compassionate and very knowledgeable. He takes his time to truly get to know his patients, and he addresses each of your concerns thoroughly. His office staff is also caring and helpful. Very comfortable office, too. Great doctor and great practice.
