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 Mehdi is an amazing doctor. I was in the hospital with Covid-19 pneumonia for 10 nights in January. He calls me from his own personal cell phone to check in, see how I am doing and answer any questions I have. What doctor does that these days? He truly cares about his patients, listens intently and is not like the typical doctor who rushes people in and out. I highly recommend Dr. Mehdi.

I love Dr. M. He is a dedicated doctor and is genuinely concerned for his patients. I have gone to him for 10 years and hope to for the foreseeable future. He is also a brilliant guy, not just a standard doctor. We have some good conversations.

I am in awe of the treatment and support I get from Dr Mehdi. The man offers access to him unlike any doctor I have ever been associated with. He takes his time face to face and has literally called and or texted with me on Saturdays and Sundays to diagnose an issue I had going on. After that he has been calling me from his personal cell phone to check up on me and see how I'm doing. His telehealth has been extremely helpful during this COVID pandemic limited my potential exposure and the potential exposure of his own staff. I've had plenty of drs having lived all over this country of ours and never once have i felt the way about a practice as I do about his. I was referred to him by a friend who raved about him, to which I thought "Come on, how can this guy be so good you rave about him?" After having been with him for several months, I know understand. I feel appreciated as a patient and i feel extremely grateful to be under his care.

Dr. Mehdi and staff are the Best of the Best !! Going to the office is like going home !! You are treated like family . I have been a patient since 2008 and he has always been the most caring , kind and absolutely brilliant Dr. !!! I have never been rushed out of his office for the next patient . Dr. Mehdi will take a seat and listen to my every word . Even if I’m sick I still always feel better leaving his office . He has a very calming nature about him which in turn calms me . Can call night or day and the Dr. or his staff get back to u immediately . It is HOME not a Dr. office .. I adore everyone there . Thank You Dr. Mehdi and your outstanding staff !

I have been employed in both the Medical and pharmaceutical business sectors. I have had the privilege of calling on some the best Medical Doctors in the Northeast. I would unequivocally say that Dr. Mehdi and his office staff operate with the highest level of both Integrity and Professionalism. He is a rare Doctor that takes the time to both correctly diagnosis and treats me like I am the only patient he has, often taking cell calls on weekends and calling the pharmacy when one of my Family members is sick. Additionally, Dr. Mehdi never charges for any of those phone calls and has never failed to respond 24/7 when i reach out on weekends. His dedication and high moral compass is one of the main reasons I chose him for my Primary Care Doctor. He is truly a credit to the medical community and role model for what it means to care about patients. His staff compliments his professionalism and is always professional and friendly. Thank you for the tremendous care you provide.

Lived in Hanover all my life; 66 years. Best Family doctor I or my wife has ever had. As knowledgable as they get. Takes great interest in everything you have to say; a great listener. Never in a hurry. A small price to pay if that quality means I may have to wait an extra fifteen minutes or so in the whining room. I can remember the old days if they were unable to make the house call waiting on the waiting room floor for 2 hours!

If you are looking for a healer, doctor, life coach, holistic approach to your medical problem, Dr Mehdi is the best kept secret of Boston. Stay away from Doc in the box and cash greedy docs. My husband and I are greatful for his and his staffs services.Wish he could take younger age would love my kids to be under his care. Highly recommend Dr Mehdi & his staff that are second to none!!! Few negative comments are written by drug seekers who did not get there fix as I work in a hospital & know it

i would never recommend dr Mehdi to anyone!!!The first and last appointment, I was in his office two hours he rushed me out saying he would call me and never did. I have a fatal condition that he knew about and did not care. I called a few times they always said they would call back and never did. i have been into alternative medicine for many years and witness no sign of anything like it in his office. I wrote a letter of complaint about him to the board..

Saved my life! Caring takes time calls on me to check how I am feeling. Teaches me philosophy and priniciokes of happiness and good health. Truly a maverick! Excellent staff! I have been coming here for 16 years. Negative reviews seems like someone either seeking drugs or mad because was called out to pay co-pay that is due. You want to be healthy and happy come to Dr Mehdi! Thank you for saving my life and my relationship!

Real poor staff, poor language and communication, very robotic but filled with mistakes and lack of empathy. Scheduling multiple visits to max their bottom line is their business model Dr is always very late, does not listen real well and does not respond well to multiple health issues. Money and insurance co pays are due or no appointment, they don't care and will not let you visit even if you are sick if you don't have it. After bloodwork you are always called back to get another visit.

I am exceptionally impressed by Dr Mehdi. He truly cares about his patients. I had an irregular test results which caused him some concern and he had me come in immediately after the results came in. The office staff are also a pleasure to work with.

Dr. Mehdi is exceptionally caring and thorough. I trust him immensely. He is truly a wonderful physician. Dr. Mehdi helped our family through a very difficult time by helping create solutions. Dr. Mehdi caught my skin cancer very early- it looked just like a regular mole. It is not hyperbole to say he saved my life. He has a new receptionist who is very nice. The nurse practitioners are gone- thank god. They were the ones here generating the bad reviews. I recommend Dr. Mehdi wholeheartedly.
