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.

The absolute best!

I've been Dr. Sassower's patient for 3 years and am so impressed with how kind, empathetic and knowledgeable he is. He listens and really cares and has a wonderful sense of humor. It's so comfortable to talk to him and feel validated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone suffering with sleep problems. I'm so grateful to have him as my doctor.

You can tell he truly cares for his patients, and listens to concerns, while having a great sense of humor. I have never had a Dr. before prescribing a medication think about my insurance (cost, needing a prior auth), the pharmacy not receiving it (backup method just in case) and ensuring it wouldn't make other issues worse I was experiencing. He also cared about my mental health not just my physical health. I can't recommend him highly enough, this is what he was meant to do in life.

Dr. Sassower is a very knowledgeable, experienced, open-minded doctor. He has helped me immensely with an unusual sleep problem. When you are with him he seems to have all the time necessary to really listen to you and he treats you as a whole person. I think Dr. Sassower is both one of the top sleep specialists in Boston and also a wonderful human being.
