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.

Excellent doctor, practical, thorough, helpful, friendly, unfortunately he is now semi-retired.

This Doctor is managing far too many patients to provide any qualitative care. very concerning that he was unable to devote more than a few minutes to me as a patient without leaving the exam room numerous times or relentlessly clicking on his laptop computer. Unhappy about being judged without having my appointments being endlessly interrupted. This has had actual devastating effects on my health as being truthful with my Doctor led him dismissing me. Height, sex, weight wrong on paper and more

Very unprofessional uses vulgar language told my wife he doesn't care about anyone in Newport nh just wants to retire. Why is he even allowed to practice he is a fake person if he doesn't like you just tells you there's nothing he can do I went and had breathing problems he told me nothing else he could do so I asked him if I should see a pulmonary dr he said if you want to isn't it his job to recommend this says everyone is addicts so normal people pay for his hate of drug addicts mm 1968
