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.

I first saw Dr. Garrity nearly 30 years ago. I just turned 50 and have been blessed with good health so haven't seen Dr. Garrity in 5 years. I called to make an appointment for a physical and surgical authorization for eye surgery and was told I was dropped. Patients who don't come to see him at least once every three years are automatically dropped and are considered new patients. And, of course, he's not taking any new patients. The receptionist couldn't have been more annoyed and callous. I guess doctor-patient relationships are dead, or at least they're dead to Dr. Garrity and his staff.
