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.

Useless - his medical student took copious notes and listened. He spent NO time with my daughter, was condescending and offered no help. Will not see him again

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Oster?
Articulate, charming, knowledgeable but nonetheless a defective windsock blowing hot air. Extensive travel expenses and time from Maine to Boston (Tufts Medical Center) and return home, well over an hour of my time in office and $1,000 in bills for Medicare and no action; no referrals, no treatment and ineffective smoke with none of the promised results- nada. Waste of time and energy for a disabled person desperately seeking medical care.
