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.

Knowledgeable, Caring, & Professional!!
I have been seeing Dr. Flaherty for almost 20 yrs. It is evident that he is truly passionate about his work and his patients. He provides the utmost level of care with both honestly & integrity. His advice & recommendations have always been on point & he takes the time to listen to my concerns. I recently had a hysterectomy & could not be happier with the outcome. From the time I arrived at the hospital to the time I left, the level of care was top notch. My recovery was quick, with minimal pain. I highly recommend Dr. Flaherty!

Professional and helpful!
Dr. Flaherty has been my doctor for the last few years, and he’s been excellent. He’s highly professional and easy to talk to about concerns, and he’s been consistently helpful with his care. I’ve already recommended him to people I know--this whole practice is excellent, too.

I am very disappointed by Dr. Flaherty. He used to be a good doctor, but allowed the system to swallow his judgement and care for his patients. I have lost all my trust in his ability to provide the best care. I was misdiagnosed, there was no accountability nor repair in addition to a lack of communication in his staff from other doctors I saw in the same clinic (Generations OBGYN). All this was detrimental to my health, and there was no communication nor accountability for his actions. I would not recommend him nor Generations OBGYN to any woman who cares about their health. I tried communicating this to their staff, but again there's no accountability, no managers, and they don't care about their patients. It's very sad and unfortunate, because our health so important and we all need and deserve better care. I share this for other women to find better care and take time to find a doctor that's a good match for you!

Not sure I would see him again. Doesn’t spend time listening to my concerns and always in a hurry to move on to the next patient. I wouldnt recommend him to my friends or family.

I feel that Dr. Flaherty does not listen well when trying to explain something and doesn't explain issues well. After many years with this provider, the level of trust is no longer there.

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Flaherty. Although I'm a new patient, I recently had an issue that I felt needed immediate attention. He saw me within hours. Post my visit, I had a follow-up question and took advantage of the online portal. Dr. Flaherty responded in less than 24 hours. I'm thankful it was a minor problem and also appreciative of having a doctor who clearly cares about his patients and an office staff that is a reflection of him.
