In patients' words
"She is very kind, caring and concerned about whatever is bothering me. She doesn't rush the visits."
— Healthgrades review of Dr. Jessica Bossie"Dr. Spence is a real asset... She is thorough, but not overly chatty. She listens and changes course based on patient feedback."
— Mass General Brigham patient review of Dr. Denise A. Spence"My daughter has seen her for a few years now. She is short with her and us, always appears to be rushed... We are changing providers."
— Healthgrades review of Dr. Leora Cohen-McKeon"Absolutely AWFUL patient care and communication... I was a patient of Dr. Chan’s. Upon her leaving the office, in December I set a new patient visit with Dr. Bradshaw... they call me to cancel... [and told me] I could not be seen and was no longer considered a patient of the practice."
