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.

Very Poor Experience
My final visits with this doctor were very displeasing. When asked for referrals to a cardiologist due to newfound shortness of breath, he declined claiming that because my cholesterol levels were good, that there's no reason to check. Fast forward two years later, I finally got checked out and it turns I had a heart valve leak that could require surgery. On top of that, after filing a state complaint due to subpar care, Mr. Reed claimed I had bipolar disorder which is completely false.. He also used that as an excuse for my 'irrational' claim as he cleverly stated in his response. Do yourself a favor, get a doctor that's willing to take you seriously.

Dr. Reed has been my primary physician for over 20 years. He very personable and maybe casual to a fault. He gets 4 stars only because he cannot be contacted directly for consultation. His office staff however (some of them, not all) are cold, grumpy, contrary, suspitious and just plain combative. They get 1 star. It used to be a good practice until Cape Cod Health.com took them over.

No, he only read the computer and asked no questions after I had a hemorraghic stroke -- had surgery for a brain aneursym and was hospitalized and in rehab for 77 days. Also, he didn;t order a scan for my husband's shoulder/chest pain , just nerve pills, and he died a year later from lung cancer.

Tim is an attentive and caring physician. He listens and responds to the patient in detail, explaining not only your conditions, but also works with you in developing long term strategies to appropriately address your illnesses. Highly recommended. He has been my PCP for over 20 years. I feel fortunate we have a doctor of his caliber in our community.
