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.

Very thorough, takes time to listen

Dr Alice Lorch is The Best
Dr Lorch deeply cares to give the best possible care to each of her patients. Remember she isn't the one responsible for long office waits. It's caused by the MGH poor admin system and medical insurance driven insanity.

Very good visit
Dr. Lorch dealt with me in a most professional manner. She reviewed the tests carried out by the technician, and the photographs that were taken, and explained everything in a very comprehensible way.
