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.

Very competent and informed
She took the time to review my history. She explained the results of a recent ER visit. She listened to me.

Couldn’t wish for a better primary doctor !
My visit to see DR. Bassett-Shaftoewas for a wellness visit for which I had to reschedule due to illness. She found the time to squeeze me in and during that visit, she ordered thé vaccin updates and whatever medications that would treat the brewing pneumonia in my left lung. After an XRay proved her right, I knew, I didn’t have to wait till for my oncologis to treat me after the holidays. Always going over and beyond, Dr. B-Shaftoe gets to the heart of the matter until a remedy is found. I’m grateful for her insight, her professionalism, and her “No beating around the bush” realism !!

Excellent Doctor who I trust whole-heartedly.
Dr. Bassett-Shaftoe has been my primary physician for over 8 years. Whenever I’ve needed to see her for answers to a painful symptom, she has been able to see me as quickly as possible. With her habitual efficiency, she usually pinpoints the root cause of my particular ailment and refers me to a specialist if need be. While running all labs or X-rays that confirm her initial diagnosis, I have no doubt I’ll be on the right path to recovery. Dr. Bassett - Shaftoe is truly one of the best in her field and I’m grateful to be one of her patients.
