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. Flavin is an excellent doctor with years of dedicated experience. He is a good listener and his sound advice is extremely valuable.

You're all a bunch of fake reviews. This guy was a monster. Thank God I was diagnosed with Celiac in MA by a doctor who actually knows his profession.

It baffles me when people "rate" a doctor without explaining themselves. Dr. Flavin is polite, respectful, a GREAT listener, and extremely reflective in evaluating symptoms and suggesting remedies. He takes a rather no-nonsense approach in his questioning and he has a keen sense of humor. He is certainly trustworthy, and although not exactly "talkative," he will readily answer any questions asked of him. He certainly provides adequate time for his patients.

Dr. Flavin is very soft spoken and can be sort of abrubt about things at appointments which can be off putting to some. I have been to about 18 appointments in 5 years due to a medical condition and recommended him to a friend now sees him. I always went prepared for the appointment. Had questions/concerns written down and was ready to give him a general description on how my health was since the previous appointment. He was always very helpful in response and provided excellent care!
