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.

Greatful
I saw Dr. Holden 20 years ago. He is a great doctor. I had excessive bleeding from fibroids. He quickly scheduled me for the procedure. He removed the tumor and did great job removing the previous keloids from my first surgery. I am still so grateful. I am happy I had the opportunity to speak to him and let him know how great the surgery was. I would recommend him for his professionalism and surgical technique. Thank you doctor Peter Holden Sandra LeBrun. 1/23/2023

I was about 6 months pregnant when I switched to his practice. He had so many good reviews so I trusted that. Since my first appointment I didn’t like his demeanor. His office is in a house which it seems to be normal in NY. He barely talked and was extremely awkward. However, during of my checkups he was going to do an ultrasound (his equipment is ridiculously old might as well pay so where else to get it done). My husband came with me as well as my daughter. When he finished the ultrasound and my husband left to the waiting room Holden told me “oh your daughter is so blonde, do people sometimes confuse you with her nanny?” I was speechless with his racist comment! I left and cried on the ride home. My husband said that when I was getting dressed, he came out and asked the same thing to my husband. Needless to say I never went back!

Very good ob-gyn and thorough, very experienced and does not just write 100 tests and prescriptions just for the heck of it. He reads the report and then prescribe the appropriate tests instead of just listening what imaging center/radiologists say.

I first met Dr Holden in the ER for abdomen pain when I found out that I was pregnant with a tubular pregnancy. I have never had a doctor that cared and explained every thing the way he did . I then made him my doctor and he saw me through my next pregnancy . If i called with a concern he would see me that day. He is Extremely personable, caring, concerned, and warm-hearted doctor. He was very thorough with his examination and explained things well.

We saw him for our second pregnancy and terminated at 24th week. He has 1970s ultra sound and very poor service. If you want to save your pregnancy, please see some other Doctor

I'm 41, I've been his patient since I was about 24. He's delivered both of my children-very high risk. He cares about your overall health and goes above and beyond to ensure health!

Dr. Holden is by far the most caring professional. He will call after he sends you to a specialist to see how you are. Any concern you have he takes seriously and will go out of his way to get you to a specialist that day. I am 30 years old and experienced a frightening situation with my left breast and he has made me feel so comfortable about next steps. I left a previous gyno who didn't take my situation seriously to now be in the hands of Dr. Holden.
