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.

Dr. Hemphill is generally fine, but there were times when his approach felt aggressive, and he argued with me when I was seeking help. It was a quite traumatic experience, and because of this, I would not choose to see him as my doctor again.

Thorough and compassionate care
That I was able to accomplish my annual visit with Dr. Hemphil, who is amazing, along with my mammogram and breast ultrasound all on one day and in one place, is a huge win. The entire staff is very pleasant and professional. I feel like my concerns are heard and addressed. I am very grateful that I have such a compassionate place to access the care I need.

Moving Forward
Physical aspects of exam weren't a problem--he was gentle, though his lack of conversational skills during the exam could have used serious improvement, barely said a word. My biggest issue (sadly, he is in the majority of OBGYNs here) he doesn't take symptoms of perimenopause seriously. Felt like he had the 'hand on the door knob' attitude and wouldn't be bothered to listen to how bad these symptoms can get because according to him, still getting a period negates it all. That and a lack of concern for my ND issues makes me feel invalidated and I will be looking for a new OBGYN in person and separately to handle the challenging symptoms in the new year. He was just 'OK' but I need more than 'OK', I need to be felt like I'm being seen and validated and this provider wasn't providing it.

Fantastic
I'm a new patient at this facility in West Hartford, and was impressed by both the dr and staff. The staff were all competent, friendly and professional. Dr. Hemphill is amazing. He took the time to sit with me in his office, asking and answering questions about my health history. He listened, and was incredibly helpful in every way. This is rare these days. I always feel rushed in most medical offices. I'd highly recommend him!

Excellent Medical Team and Locations
Dr. Hemphill listens to your concerns, presents all your options, educates you so you can make informed decisions about your health. He is transparent about your health and side effects you might experience with things like birth control and childbirth. The staff are personable, compassionate, and articulate. The Enfield, West Hartford, and Hartford location all offer a clean environment and peaceful space when you enter. I had three healthy pregnancies and births with this practice and felt accommodated each time. They have great ultrasound technicians as well, I have the clearest sonograms to show my girls one day. Very thankful to have found a great practice.

Professional Positive Experience
I came to my appointment as a new patient. It was the first time any staff welcomed me as a new patient to their practice. It was a nice touch. The assistant was polite. The doctor was professional. The check out experience was good. The appointment went smooth and efficient but I didn't feel rushed. Overall a very good experience.
