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 would literally be blind without him
I’ve been seeing Dr. Feit for nearly 10 years for thyroid eye disease, and he has been an incredible doctor. Two years ago, I experienced sudden blindness in one eye. Urgent care dismissed it as TED-related, but I knew it was more serious. I insisted on another doctor and asked her to reach out to Dr. Feit, who immediately recognized it as optic neuritis and took swift action to prevent permanent vision loss. He was willing to move his schedule around to see me the next morning, started me on steroids, scheduled an MRI, and I was diagnosed with MS. As a Black woman, I’ve often been dismissed by doctors, but Dr. Feit truly listened and acted decisively. His expertise and care made all the difference, and I am so grateful for him. He is the kind of doctor. Everyone should have in their corner.

Dr. Feit the only person who correctly diagnosed
He listened to my description of sy.ptoms and immediately knew what was wrong compared to a misdiagnosis at Mass Eye and Ear.
