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.

Worst Doctor Experience In My Life
Wait time was approximately 30 minutes after check-in at the front desk. The nurse called my name and performed the standard vital testing but also asked me all the questions I had previously answered on intake questionnaires. After the initial screening with the nurse, I waited an ADDITIONAL 60 MINUTES to see the doctor. The doctor was very long winded which he billed as "thorough", however he failed to go through any specific details or questions to support the "thoroughness". I provided three very specific reasons for the visit, as this was my initial visit to establish as PCP but only two were addressed. I decided to end the visit early when the doctor recommended stretching for my chronic and consistent lower back pain as if I hadn't tried those things before, like I did not have access to similar information on a thing called the World Wide Web....Would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy. Save yourself 2+ HOURS OF YOUR LIFE and literally do anything else but go here.

I have been seeing Doctor Tumelty for about eight years. To be brief, he has been an exemplary example of family practice and physician care should be. I have no star studded diagnoses; I have been treated for hypertension, borderline diabetes, and weight management. Dr. Tumelty has been a constant support through the ups and downs of my efforts to manage my health. His approach has always been a very positive one. Frankly, an office visit with Dr. Tumelty is well worth waiting for!

He listens and takes the time to teach more natural ways to heal or prevent the condition. Patients may have to wait longer to see him but he is worth waiting for.
