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.

Endoscopy unnecessary
Did not listen to my symptoms and did an unnecessary test that had nothing to do with my symptoms! He did nothing to resolve my problem, chronic constipation. He then proceeded to do a biopsy that was not necessary (everything was normal) and then charge me $250 deductible for the biopsy.! They asked me to come back and talk to the doctor/him again because I was so upset about everything and why would I do that when he didn’t even listen to me the first time! I don’t ever wanna see this doctor again.

Colonoscopy
Dr Cleary found a polyp during my colonoscopy. For that I am grateful. The reason why I’m only giving three stars is because he never communicated with me directly regarding my results. Sure I received the massive document full of medical terminology that I can probably interpret but who knows. I’m not sure if I have cancer or not. And, to make things worse, the only time he spoke with me apparently is before I came out from under anesthesia. Someone told me the that he came to my bed side. I have no recollection of his visit whatsoever. I’m am very disappointed in both Dr M Cleary and Mercy.

I would certainly see others in the practice. I have seen two other docs within the group who were nothing but professional and Cleary will be avoided in the future. Horrible bedside manner. Very accusatory and defensive. Not compassionate one bit and putting himself on a pedestal. See other docs within this group!!

Was convinced I had hepatitis, despite a negative test result, because I am tattooed. Ran the panel 3 more times, all negative, but refused to look at anything else. Used the phrase "your pain is not my problem".

Never. Won't return calls after messages left and after he had done a procedure on me. Finally on the third attempt I reached one of his employees. She was rude and reluctantly took my message. She stated that she would give the info to the doctor, that was over a week ago and no one has contacted me.
