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’ve had very good experiences with Dr. Fagan, always being willing to let me know about new procedures and being very compassionate. I hate to see him retire soon. I wish him all the best. Marilyn Laverty

Very likely.
My treatment by Dr. Fagan over the course of a better part of a year was excellent. The time, patience, care, and vast breadth of knowledge Dr. Fagan exhibited while treating my back pain in anticipation of a 'last resort' surgical referral can only be described as superb.

I would leave a zero. He is the worst Dr ever. Wouldn't listen. He does it for the money. He needs to retire or go back to school. I brought with me my medical history, med list, test results. He took them and said I'll look at these later. He didn't ask what I'm diagnosed with or ask me questions. He said all ur problems are from panic attacks. I have thyroid disease, intercrainium hypertension, narcolepsy, sleep apnea. I will never go back and never refer him to anybody.

Extremely arrogant, rude, and does not listen. When he's done speaking, he's done listening.

Dr. Fagan correctly diagnosed me with migraines after years of suffering. A couple years later, I I was running late for my appt, but called ahead to make sure it was ok. I was told it would be fine. I made it & was ok with waiting because I was about EIGHT minutes late. I was put in a room where i waited about 45 min. The MA told him I was next. I heard him bad mouth me for being late & I waited about another 30 min when the same happened AGAIN. I left in tears & found another neurologist.

I have been taking my mother to Dr. Fagan for a couple of years. He is very forthright about her treatment plan and the future for her. He is very gracious to writ down all of the information he is relaying to is so we don't misunderstand or miscommunication with him or each other. His patience with us is much appreciated.

Absolutely the most arrogant and condescending MD I have ever experienced in my life! I Took my wife to him for diagnostic tests for a progressive neurological disorder. I clearly stated that her mother had ALS. He then lectured me about letting HIM ask the questions . He stated that the symptoms were probably all in her mind. Guess what? Two other neurologists immediately diagnosed her "correctly" with ALS after taking the time to some tests. Draw your own conclusions. Is there a 0 rating

I had a horrible second appointment with Dr. Fagan. He came in a mentioned the reason that I was there as though this was the first time that I had seen him for this condition. He also proceeded to tell me that the medicine that he had me taking was for pain only and not for my chief complaint. He was very rude and dismissed my concern for his miscommunication. I would not recommend him to anyone for any reason after this visit. Very dissatisfied!!!!
