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.

I saw Dr. Michael Charness at the music clinic at Brigham and Women’s for hand pain. My appointment was beyond a joke, this doctor was smug and offered no substance. I came to get expert medical treatment and left with what amounted to a handout that could be summed up by saying “if it hurts, don’t do it” and worse pain than I came with, that I am still recovering from after manual hand tests. I could not ever recommend this to any serious musician. Literally, run, do not walk, from this department. I can’t speak to the other clinicians. The check-in was also inappropriate. My visit was a surreal nightmare. Under no circumstances should musicians seek care from this physician, and perhaps from this clinic.
