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.

She takes the time to listen and discuss and that's rare!

Dr Shaughnessy has been my primary since joint Beth Israel Deaconness family medicine. She always listens, takes time to explain and is acommodating. Other reviews have said she refers to specialists rather than treats, I find that she refers when it side of her expertise and she wants things treated properly. I would much rather have her refer than guess what I need when it’s outside of her expertise. She was a chief resident at UMass memorial, she definitely knows what she is doing.

It's been over a decade now that Ive been seeing Dr.Shaughnessy as my primary care doctor. I wouldn't change physicians even when I've moved pretty far 3 different times. Wouldn't lose a pcp I trust and she has always made me feel so comfortable and able to be bring up concerns or ask things im unsure about. Her professional yet sweert bedside manner made it easy to continue honesty so she is aware of everything I am about my body so she canmake accurate decisions surrounding my general health.

She is kind however I agree that she refers to specialist and does not resolve. Brought up rising blood sugar and need for more meds and she thought ok cause the A1C was still ok. Now have more than tripled meds, going to Joslin soon. Never told me last blood work had elevated liver enzymes even though I express repeatedly how drugs effect organs is so important to me. Found out by looking at patient site at BID Needham. Won't send new primary record dr to dr without fee. Never encountered
