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."
