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.

My husband had a serious cut in his hand. This was triaged by our local facility and my husband was sent to Dr. F. to take care of the wound properly. Very long, gruesome story made short...due to Dr. F. mis-managed care, and Dr. F. not taking the wound seriously (he did nothing!), caused weeks and months of passing out level pain for my husband. My husband eventually was able to see the top hand surgeon in the country, at Mayo Clinic...who was incredulous of the incompetent treatment by Dr. F

I would recommend Dr. Fennell to my children. You can't get a stronger recommendation than that. I feel extremely comfortable with him, and assured in his prognosis and care. He's an outstanding doctor, and an even better human being.
