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.

I had never had a doctor who yelled at me "stop, stop" when I was trying to explain my symptoms. I did not feel treated with respect. I did not feel as if he really cared about me as a person. He seemed impatient and rushed.

Knowledgeable but not friendly at all. Grumpy and curt and basically acted like he didn’t want me to be there for my sick visit: “You should really see your PCP for this instead.”

I am willing to bet both of these reviews above are fake or written by his staff. Exact opposite experience.

Dr. Atkind is enthusiastic about patient care. You can cover a lot and become much better informed in the time that you spend with him, and he never makes you feel as though he needs to rush off. His patients are his priority. I highly recommend him if you are looking to join Atrius Cambridge.

Dr. Atkind is the most wonderful Doctor I have ever had. He's the most respectable and intuitive Doctor I've ever had in my 35 years of life. He is not like your typical Doctor that if you have a question or reason to call, you don't have to wait 48 hours to hear back from a medical assistant. Within an hour, maybe sooner, his assistant will return your call if not on the spot. I've been going to him for over 10 years and feel blessed to have such a wonderful PCP. i tell my loved ones to switch
