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. Sahd is terrific.
Back in the day I was named nurse of the year for the state that I lived in. I value quality care very much. Dr. Sahd is friendly, extremely competent, caring and compassionate. I've never had such a great doc.

Clearly an expert; kind and professional
Dr. Sahd asks good questions, listens to answers, and spends time efficiently. I appreciated his manner: professional and ironically humorous.

Very knowledgeable, patient and kind.
I was seen in a timely manner and Dr. Sahd spent the necessary time with me to evaluate my concerns and discuss treatment. I like him very much. And when I had an issue with a medication, due to insurance, I wrote to him via the portal and he responded quickly with a solution.

Personable
This was a same-day visit and the first time I met Dr. Sahd. He is knowledgeable and made sure I understood my treatment plan by me repeating it. He is personable, respectful and thorough; a winning combination.

Best Doctor I Have Ever Had
Dr. Sahd is knowledgeable, kind, and dedicated. He is thorough, and if needed, refers you for testing. He then follows up by reviewing the test results. I have seen him for several years now and he is never rushed to get you out of the exam room, but takes the time to listen. I wish all doctors were this dedicated to patient care.

I have only good things to say about Dr. Sahd. – Sep 19, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Sahd?
A competent, caring physician
Twice during the 7 years or so during which Dr. Sahd has been my personal physician, he identified conditions that I had not recognized and that needed attention. One case involved immediate hospitalization which was absolutely necessary. The other was an underlying condition that required changes in diet and weight. In both cases the result was greatly improved health. I feel fortunate to be his patient.

The worst. He doesn't listen or explain things appropriately. He did not call in a prescription refill for my paxil after he said he would. He was perhaps the most dissmisive practitioner I have seen.

Your doctor is only as good as your ability to access him/her. I have been trying to get an appointment for the past 2.5 weeks with no success and that is nothing to do with my schedule which is almost wide open or the severity of my issue which is quite painful in a very localized area. I think Dr. Sahd has gotten selective about who he will see, even if you have been exclusively his patient for years. In addition I will say that the testing he orders may not be specific to your issues.

Disenchanted in Hadley, MA – Nov 13, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Sahd?
Paul is a compassionate primary care physician, who certainly has the best interests of his patients in mind. The only issue is his lack of specialty physician network and ability to consistently advocate for his patients to receive the best treatment from the best providers – including now with the strong outreach with MGH. His lack of more broad knowledge about conditions and ability to prescribe anything that has to do with his medical license holds him back from being a much better doctor.

Our family (just retired from military) cannot say enough that is good about Paul Sahd and the entire staff at Hadley Family Practice. He speaks directly to the children, keeps parents included, gets referrals and follow-ups done without delay, and really listens. I truly feel like we're in good hands.

A serious health problem arose when I suddenly needed a PCP. Just a stroke of luck that I blindly chose Paul Said. He had me at a specialist and under a scaple within 48 hours. I expected old school doctoring but he was non judgmental, non lecturing, and non humiliating as I had been used to. A trip to the doctor raises much less anxiety now. He is a virtual newcomer to the practice but I hope he never leaves.
