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.

Dr Geraghty's kindness!
What I encountered at Dr Geraghty's office was kindness and patience by the Dr and his nurse. Very relaxing environment. The nurse was very friendly and kind. Dr Geraghty made you feel confident in his knowledge and ability to perform the surgery he recommended. He explained EVERYTHING about your condition and the surgery. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Geraghty and his nurse.

Elucidating Appointment
The Dr. was able to identify the problem and solved something that had been mysterious to me. He also seemed to have looked at my record before he came in the room, which is something it seems many doctors don’t do very often. I’m very happy with the results of my appointment.

Dr. Geraghty makes good decisions.
After an extensive 9 hour surgery in 2006 to remove oral cancer, Dr. Geraghty has been following up with me every 6 months to check and reassure me that it hasn't came back. On this visit, I was having an issue with a sore gum after 2 trips to the dentist and no improvement. Naturally concerned that it might have come back, instead of taking a biopsy of the affected area and making it more sore, he decided to try a 2 week antibiotic regimen first and then a promise of an immediate return appointment, if necessary. Much to my amazement, it has seemed to resolve the issue.
