Gave us incorrect diagnosis. We had to get a second opinion. Waste of money.

Review for Dr. Brewer Jr

I went to Dr. Anctil for a second opinion for my foot fractures which had not healed properly under the care of a different doctor. Dr. Anctil was able to operate. My foot is now healed and I no longer am in pain.

Review for Dr. Anctil

I saw her once and never went back she was cold and inattentive; she had not even reviewed my labs or knew why I was there the experience was horrific!!!

Review for Dr. Tok

Waited in lobby way to long 1 hr 45 minute wait is unexcusable.

Review for Dr. Badruddoja

I have been a patient for years and have never been disappointed. He is patient and understanding. He works with his patients and shows great empathy and compassion. An absolute gem of a rheumatologist and my son liked his candor the first time he met him I’m still impressed
