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. K.
Dr. K. has extraordinary skills as a doctor, but his qualities as a human being — listening; empathy; and thoughtfulness — make him an outlier in the field. This world is a dangerous, unstable place … Dr. Paul Knoepflmacher is an antidote.

He’s the best!
Dr K was very thorough. I had my yearly check up recently. I have quite a number of medical issues and he is on top of all of them. I know that if I have a problem of any kind he will be easy to reach and responsive.

Excellent physician and very warm personality
As always, I did not to wait to be greeted by Dr. Knoepflmacher's nurse, who took the basic information from me and drew blood in a very efficient way. Dr. Knoepflmacher check up was thorough and very professional.

Have been a patient for years. I have a lot of issues and have been to a long list of doctors with the best hospitals in New York and Boston. Paul is the best I've ever had. He gets back on any requests right away and is extremely personable and takes a real interest in all of his patients. His staff is very friendly as well. Recently I was diagnosed with cancer and high blood sugar and he was able to refer me to the best specialists to handle these issues.
