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.

Recent ER visit in Needham
Dr. Abbott Widdicombe was the Dr. on call. My husband had severe nose and eye bleed. The doctor was told my husbands medications. He consistently left him sitting in the hallway while we went through an enormous amount of gauze to help the bleeding. When he came back the 3rd time he gave my husband a nasal spray knowing he was on a beta blocker! This caused my husband to break out in a horrible sweat and black out! Several people then rushed to help and the doctor still didn’t seem to care. Never checked on him again when bloodwork and ekg were done. We are 3 weeks out and my husband is still having major problems. The nasal spray was never mentioned in the report. We got in touch with my husbands heart doctor and he was astonished Dr Witticombe administered the nasal spray knowing he was on a beta blocker. I’m disgusted and still worried about my husbands health. His heart doctor is monitoring him now. The fact that they left this information out of the report tells you something

Received excellent care from this Dr in the ER
He was very attentive, determined the problem quickly, explained my symptoms, and I really had a good experience despite the pain I was in. I wish every Dr was like this provider
