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.

A great experience
Dr. Joseph Larkin has been my primary for close to 10 years. He combines good expertise, thoroughness, and a willingness to listen and discuss, while spending as much time as needed with me to get all questions answered. Nowadays, it is rare to find a doctor, other than a concierge medical doctor, that combines such personal touch care for a patient with outstanding quality of medical care. He has been listed as one of the top doctors since 2009 by Castle Connery, a leading healthcare research company. I highly recommend becoming Dr. Larkin's patient.

Rude
I accidentally took a medication that has the potential to cause severe interaction. Dr. Larkin was the on-call doctor. He told me that I should not have done it (which I know) and to not do that going forward. I asked was his name was due to his short curt response and he hung up on me. I then called the answering service to get his name. No I do not recommend him.

I would never recommend Dr Larkin
He has been my mother's dr for years. She is elderly now and has many medical needs. He has been not only dismissive, but now he has been rude. Absolutely no medical help whatsoever. There is no possible way I would ever have her return, nor will I ever recommend him!

Dr. Larkin is simply the best. He is knowledgeable, thorough, kind and compassionate. Appointments are on schedule, and he always provides me with whatever amount of time is necessary on a given day. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Larkin’s for 12+ years. Prior to becoming his patient, I had experience with several other PCP’s, all of whom were quite good … BUT, Dr.Larkin is unquestionably the best! As I move into my mid 70’s, it’s very comforting to know that he is my doctor.
