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.

always as pleasant as front staff.

Very clear directions to schedule an appt. Really excellent front desk staff and my appt. was on time. Dr. Dwyer had reviewed my info and asked relevant questions. His exam was thorough and he gave his evaluation and outlined the next steps. In addition, he did not rush and has a sense of humor. Excellent experience.

Dr. Dwyer is astute and thorough, explaining his analysis in detail. We gained more information about my husband’s condition in one visit than we had in multiple visits to other providers over years. I am completely confident in his care and recommend him without reservation. ( Also, he is very personable!)

I started my journey with MS with Dr. Dwyer. I saw him for years until I moved and it was too far to travel. He was wonderful and I have considered returning to his practice. He is kind and caring plus up to date on new meds. and information. I thank him for all the good care he gave to me.

Did Dr. Dwyer write these reviews himself? What I’m reading is far from the experiences I’ve had with him while he’s been treating my mother for Parkinson’s. During my mother’s 20 minute visit, he spends the first 15 minutes talking with my moms husband about their experiences in the war. The next five minutes, he will talk briefly with my mom about her condition. He does none of the typical Parkinson’s evaluations such as having her walk, having her move her fingers and feet in a certain way etc. What REALLY gets me is when my moms family dr prescribed antidepressants for her and Dr. Dwyer told her she didn’t need them!!! Does this educated man not know that anxiety and depression go hand in hand with Parkinson’s??? I would not recommend Dr. Dwyer to anyone with Parkinson's in fact I’d tell them to run in the opposite direction fast! A very dissatisfied daughter

Dr. Dwyer is very caring, thorough, and professional, he leaves no stone unturned and after caring for my Mother, he also saw both my hubby and I for sleep studies. I would recommend him in a New York minute.

Staff is great, Dr. Dwyer not so much.....the Botox injections from Dr. Dwyer were inconsistent every month and his bedside manner and inappropriate jokes are a big no. Always have someone with you to be a witness to his behaviors and inappropriate comments.

Very knowledgeable, excellent rapour with patient and family members. Is relaxed and does not make patient feel that DR Dwyer is in a hurry to see next patient. Dr Dwyer is "down to earth" and adds a bit of humor to relax patient and family member(s). I would recommend him to anyone needing neurological assistance. Only negative is due to HIPPA.A family member cannot discuss condition of patient without patient being present.
