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 never realized he was an out of network doctor. He never explained that or his charges. He only cares about charging the big bucks for any and everything! He sued me and will now garnish my paycheck for thousands of dollars!

Excellent! My daughter had an emergency tonsillectomy and Dr Modlin was skillful and caring taking his time explaining everything. Another time he answered our call late on a Friday evening of a holiday weekend when we were away on vacation. My daughter had a bad throat infection, which he diagnosed thru pictures, and called in a prescription. She was better in a day or two. Highly recommend Dr Modlin

The absolute most caring and attentive doctor. There is a bit of a wait because he takes his time with patients but he's worth it.

Dr. Modlin is THE BEST! He did an emergency tonsillectomy on my 18 yr old son after he was admitted to Winthrop Hospital. We did not know Dr. Modlin but we're lucky enough to have him there when we needed him. My son had some bleeding complications in the week following his surgery and Dr. Modlin was there to take care of him! He is an excellent Doctor and surgeon and his patient care is extraordinary! His office staff is amazing! We are very fortunate to have found Dr. Modlin.
