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.

Dr. Hennessy was the obstetrician for most of my labor back in early 2018. I still have flashbacks about the experience because she was so insensitive during the most vulnerable hours of my life. Which is why I'm writing this review almost 2 years later. I can't forget it, can't shake it, and I have to warn others. At one point duing my labor, Dr. Hennesy angrily said, "She can push if she wants to and she'll split her cervix." This was in response to a nurse who told Dr. Hennessy that I felt like pushing. Another nurse told me a few minutes earlier I was 10 centimeters dilated and ready to push. Dr. Hennessy disagreed. Fine, but don't act like your patient is combative when they only want to do what feels natural and appropriate under the circumstances. She could've educated me, lovingly. Instead, she was downright hostile. I can't express in words how much I hope this woman quits medicine (or loses her license before she seriously harms a patient).

I have been a patient of the office for over 6 years. I have seen all the doctors, and truly am happy with each of them! Dr. Hennessy talks fast, she is friendly and will answer any questions. I don't feel she is rushed or is rushing me, she is just a fast talker. She delivered my third child and was amazing. She was calm, supportive and it was the easiest, least stressful delivery. She was great - I had the best recovery of the three.

Do not visit Dr. Hennessy if you actually want care! She does not care for her patients and will waste your time and money! Find a Doctor who actually cares about their patients and their job! She refuses to answer questions and avoids any thought she might not know about! She doesn't know what she is doing!

I wasn’t impressed with Dr. Henessy at all. The appoinntment felt rushed, and she spoke extremely fast. She also refused to do an ultrasound after multiple requests. I believe she could have but just didn’t want to take the time to. Considering the office wasn’t busy, and it was close to the end of the day. Subpar experience at best.

I had a very poor experience with Dr Hennessy and the office staff. She was very rushed the day I came in, yet there were no other patients. She prescribed the wrong medication (name instead of generic brand). The office staff was both incredibly rude and non-helpful when I tried to get the prescription issue resolved (They asked me what prescription I wanted to take instead of making suggestions). Dr Hennessy may be a very capable doctor, but she lost my trust after this terrible experience.
