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.

Great Listener
She always is so nice to see. She's a great listener and asks me questions that I I hadn't thought about mentioning! She's very thorough in her exams of me and explains everything. I'm so glad she'll be around longer than I will be.

Dr. Kerrigan has been my doctor for about 18 years. She is the best, compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable. She always has my best interest at heart and explains things very well. Always makes me feel comfortable and is very easy to talk to. She's one of the best in a world where the medical field is changing drastically.

Over an hour late
I was there in the exam room waiting for an hour. I understand being late but to not have someone in the office to come in to tell me she is late or approx when she will be in is extremely disrespectful to me and my time. I always provide the office 24 hours if I can’t make it and if I am late I contact the office so they can plan appropriately. They don’t know what my schedule was for the day and I had to leave before I was seen. I have decided to find another doctor who respects her patients.

One of a kind!
Dr. Kerrigan is a one of a kind doctor. She is so personable. She listens to her patients and their needs. She is very knowledgeable and uses her expertise to assist you with making the right choice for you but never forces anything upon you. I have been with her since I was a teen, now 33 I have had 2 children, one was a high risk pregnancy and Dr. Kerrigan was there for me every step of the way, I will never forget it. She truly goes above and beyond. Doctors are not like her now a days, but I hope new Doctors pay attention to her methods and care because she is gold!

Kirsten Kerrigan is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Just switched to her after 25 yrs of being with my OB/GYN who just retired. She’s very thorough. Takes her time and explains everything in great detail. I only wish that I would’ve switched to her sooner.

WORST OBGYN DO NOT GO HERE
DO NOT GO HERE. My experiences with Dr. Kristen Kerrigan was extremely disappointing. The lack of patients in the waiting room should have been a warning sign. She misdiagnosed me and prescribed medication that wasn't necessary, leaving my issues unresolved. On top of that, the exams were painful and resulted in a tear in my skin. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone. It's best to avoid her practice altogether.
