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.

This doctor is inept. He doesn't do anything but say come see me in six months. My sister is deteriorating right before my eyes. Been going on for at least two years. Won't send to any kind of specialist for further diagnosis since he hasn't been able to come up with a diagnosis, you would think he would send her to someone. I wouldn't take my worse enemy to this Doctor.

My father used this Dr. Gaines four years He was diagnosed with cancer and not by Dr. Gaines because he missed the original first signs symptoms which may have saved my father’s life He is incomplete with his follow ups, his information to patients test results, and being a standup guy I would not recommend this Dr. Gaines person and or ever going to Saint Vincent Hospital in Worcester Spare your family the pain and go to where the care is best in Boston Dr. Gaines is very complacent and is in it for a paycheck and not patient care Do yourself a favor switch doctors and or never go as a new patient to Dr. William Gaines

If I could give zero stars I would. Very poor bed side manner. I went because I wasn't feeling well, and came out feeling worse! What kind of doctor curses at their patients? His only agenda is to be right and doesn't actually care about treating the patient. He doesn't believe in using nutritional supplements, only synthetic drugs! Steer clear of this one!
