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.

CAN'T BELIEVE HE WOULD GET MORE THAN ONE STAR
DR BRISKIE IMPLANTED A PACE MAKER IN MY MOTHER. NEVER BOTHERED TO MEET WITH ME IN PERSON, JUST OVER THE PHONE. DID NOT DO THE PROCEDURE AS HE HAD STATED IN THE PHONE CONVERSATION, DID THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE. HAD NO CONCERN FOR HER AFTER THE FACT ESPECIALLY SINCE SHE HAD COMPLICATIONS AFTER THE SURGERY.

Dr Briskie is a compassionate and very knowledgeable cardiologist. He makes you feel at ease and takes his time with you. I feel completely confident with him and actually enjoy my visits with him. He has all the diagnostic tools right at his practice and the staff is always pleasant.

I took my 86 yo mother home 29 hours after Dr. Briskie inserted a pacemaker into her left upper chest. From the minute my mother arrived home, she no longer required oxygen to breathe, she walked quicker, stood taller and sat straight. Before that, my mother experienced shortness of breath, demonstrated great difficulty with walking , easily lost her balance and assumed a right side bent posture if standing and while sitting. My mother's miraculous recovery because of Dr. Briskie's expertise came after a 5 day stay in another local facility that misdiagnosed her , gave her medications that made her delusional and then administered anti-psychotic medication to "counter-act" the side-effects of the drugs! I requested transfer to WBGH where she received the intervention that she needed, a pacemaker. Dr. Briskie works miracles! He is talented and compassionate...a rare find in medical professionals!

Dr Briskie was very attentive and took time with me. The wait time was short and his staff was more than friendly. I appreciated the fact that he didn’t have a computer in front of him reading it while I was talking. I was very pleased with my visit. Barbara Purdy, May 2019

Dr. Briskie is caring, down to earth and does not believe in over-medicating patients like so many doctors today. He listens to the patient and is their healthcare partner.

Dr. rushes appointments, doesn't listen to your heart and seems disinterested in the patient. I seriously can't figure out why patients would accept this level of care. This is the main reason I'm leaving this practice.
