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 Chiesa sat down and talked to me as a person! She let me explain things to her. We talked about my job, family. She gave me good advice on my empty nest syndrome. She gave alot of encouragement, not just negative comments. She made me feel like I was not a failure!

Dr. Chiesa is the most wonderful doctor I have ever had. She is kind, thoughtful, compassionate, and extremely smart. She listens so well and pays attention to the minor details. I have seen her for years and will never switch if it's up to me. I cannot emphasize how intelligent she is. She will talk you through a diagnosis and answer questions. She is one of the very best.

She hates what she does, and it shows. The best thing about her is ease of appointment. There is a reason though. No one keeps her as a family doctor.

Terrible manner with patients. She's always late and spends 2 minutes asking you to tell her her job and leaves. The rest is up to the nurses. Wish I could switch but can't !. Do not go to her!

I have been a patient of Dr Chiesa’s for 11 years. Honestly I was surprised to see the negative reviews. She is easy to talk with and addresses my concerns. She follows the reports my doctors send her. I am living with cancer and she works with me and my doctors. My only complaint is the wait time. It is as if the reviewers and I see different doctors, but we do not.

She knows everything better than the specialist do. She talks down to you as patient and makes inappropriate comments. Unfortunately I had to see this doctor when my primary wasn’t in. Now I am leaving my primary doctor over this doctor. Don’t go to her

When you make an appointment -supposedly second of the morning and you arrive 15 minutes early to be respectful of tier time. 65 minutes after appointment time ( 8o minutes total ) and the 4th drug rep walks in and is taken to see the MD......im done. lots of good reason to see Dr Chiesa but done. I'll resume my PCP search elsewhere

I saw Dr. Chiesa for a general checkup as well as for concerns regarding a years-long battle with both depression and anxiety. She asked questions, but also sat and listened while I cried about how despite my wonderful life, I couldn't breathe. She was consoling, helpful, and didn't sugarcoat anything. I was afraid to see her after reading all of these awful reviews and because I've avoided seeking help for 10+ years, but Dr. Chiesa changed my life today with her kindness and professionalism.

I wish I could leave negative numbers. After getting admitted thru the ER, she threw me out the next morning saying "you're too fat. I won't have you taking up space in MY hospital." My hip replacement incision was torn open & bleeding profusely. I ended up with 2 infections in my hip & the replacement had to be removed. The hospital did nothing saying basically if they acted on every complaint they would have no time for anything else. Any lawyers out there???

This woman is a piece of work! She basically abandon my Father and would not return any of the calls the pharmacy made to her office(He needed bp meds refilled). When my Mom took him in tot he office, she said to her "If you don't like our policy, you can find a new doctor!" STAY AWAY from this office! She WILL BE in court eventually for patient abandonment.

I've never been so uncomfortable or unsatisfied with a doctor in my life. She is unhelpful and cold. She assumes a diagnosis without proper testing and has been wrong. She doesn't address concerns and is condescending. After seeing her several times she still hasn't acknowledged me as a returning patient. I'll never go back.

I have never been treated so abominably by a physician. I have been having respiratory issues for months. Because I was a former smoker, I was shamed and had a COPD diagnosis thrown at me. My symptoms were acute, not chronic. She never ordered a chest x-ray, and prescribed asthma medications. I came to find out I had lung cancer, after months of begging for proper testing. Not until after my diagnosis, did she acknowledge that I was not an emphysema or chronic bronchitis patient. I have switched
