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.

Honest. Humorous. Explains to patients very well. SKILLED. Very trustworthy

Dr. Fahey did my abdominal hernia with mesh surgery last May and did a great job! I was able to heal very fast and with minimal scaring. He is one of the best surgeons around and highly recommended!

Dr. Fahey is a competent, caring physician. He just performed surgery on me and came to see me every day, twice a day. He did a great job and made the whole process a lot easier and more comfortable than I expected it to be.

There are a lot of great things to say about Dr. Fahey: he is a compassionate doctor who listens to the needs of the patient and their family- assuring them that they will receive the best care possible while taking the time to answer every question and concern. He is a top-rated doctor that is very experienced and exercises good judgment in providing doses of humor when needed to an already stressful situation. We highly recommend him and pray that God continues to bless him and his practice.
