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.

If you are in need of a very skilled and seasoned General Surgeon, readily available for appointments and timely surgery, I highly recommend a consult with Dr. Timothy Goundrey. Recently, he successfully performed surgery on me for an inguinal hernia repair with no complications and minimum recovery time. With 22 years of surgical experience for a diverse list of medical conditions, he is a Georgetown University undergraduate followed by both his medical school and surgery residency at UConn. He is very personable, an excellent listener, and his bedside manner during consults and pre/post-surgery conveys a genuine interest in what is best for his patient. 31 July 2023, he departed Trinity Health of New England, where his high patient review ratings stood out to me, and joined Hartford Health Care (HHC). Restricted from personally soliciting existing patients from his practice at Trinity Health in his move to HHC, he is now readily available for appointments and scheduling for surgeries

Excellent Care Doctor
Dr. Goundry provided excellent care in a surgical procedure with simple instructions on preparations and follow up. I wish all Dr's were as professional and demonstrateas much goodwill as Dr. Goundry.

Outstanding
Dr. Goundrey repaired my bilateral inguinal hernia at St. Francis Hospital on January 18th. He and the staff at St. Francis were nothing short of amazing. This was my first surgery and I’m one day out of surgery and feeling great. I can’t thank the good doctor enough.

All visits as well as surgery, was spectacular! Dr. Goundrey & his staff really made all the difference in the world, when it came to navigating me and my bady back into working order. Aside from Dr. Goundrey's expert skillet of surgical talents, what I appreciated most is his straightforward honesty, as Dr. Goundrey conveyed all aspects of protocols and knowledge in a most truthful and caring manner. I highly recommend Dr. Goundrey, he is such a great asset to his profession and even more so, to anyone seeking an authentic, talented & caring specialist of this nature!

Anyone needing a surgeon should definitely consider Dr. Goundrey. He is the kindest, gentlest and most caring doctor I have ever used. I recently had a complicated gallbladder surgery (my first surgery) and I can’t imagine having been under the care of anyone other than him. Pre- and post surgery care was and has been awesome. From the start he made me feel very comfortable and hopeful that all would turn out fine (and it did!). I also want to give a shout-out to Clarice (in the Bloomfield office). She literally held my hand when needed, gave me great advice and showed me such compassion during a time that was very scary and stressful to me. That meant a lot to me. Thank you both for all you did for me.

I sought treatment with Dr. Goundrey for the removal of my gallbladder. I was referred by a physician in the same practice as my PCP. I was extremely nervous and found him easy to talk to, knowledgeable, and overall very calming. If I had two gallbladders due to a medical oddity and the second needed to be removed I would return to him in a heartbeat for the procedure. His assistant, Clarice, was wonderful to work with as well with respect to scheduling.
