  • this provider is okay [redacted]

    2026-07-06

  • I had a great experience here, all of my care team treated me with respect and made me feel very comfortable. I never felt rushed by Dr. Carruthers during our appointments, she always explained the procedure clearly and I would recommend her to anyone. This procedure has changed my life and I am very grateful I went to this provider for my care.

  • This whole team is phenomenal. They are often early if I am. Super efficient.

    2026-06-14

  • Dr didn't listen to what I had to say about my congenital deformity. Didn't even do an evaluation. Every dr has examined my breast and she didn't.

    2026-06-13

  • My care provider was reassuring and listened to my worries. She was understanding and helped me feel comfortable and heard.

    2026-05-20

  • I left the office wanting a second opinion. We discussed this and the provider's office followed through on it.

    2026-05-04

  • I don't often feel inclined to leave feedback, but Dr. Carruthers and staff were all so fantastic, I needed to take the time to share. I felt so cared for by all of the staff. Dr. Carruthers explained everything thoroughly, addressing all of my questions and concerns. I feel incredibly lucky to be a patient here.

  • Dr. Carruthers always feels like she really cares, and never makes me feel rushed. Everyone I've encountered on my MGH breast cancer journey has been wonderful. It's nice to feel that there is no other place I would rather be treated.

  • Excellent

    2026-01-11

  • Both the Med Asst and Dr were very easy to talk to. I felt very comfortable discussing my issue.

    2026-01-05

  • This care provider answered my questions regarding the surgery in question and explained in detail the process of the surgery.

    2026-01-04

  • I believe this provider was very knowledgeable and had lots of useful information to help me make my decision, but I just felt that she spoke too fast that I wasn't able to remember everything she said and I feel like some of the questions I had I couldn't ask because I felt overwhelmed with the appointment. I think the best way to give patient information in my opinion, the provider should give information and stop and ask the patient if they have any questions because when you give out so much information, the patient forgets what questions to ask.

    2025-12-20

  • Dr. Carruthers was amazing both in and out of the operating room. She and her team were very responsive to my questions and concerns with my post surgery complications. They checked in on me and made sure to call in other providers when the severity exceeded their office's specialization. [redacted] Overall, I would 100% recommend Dr. Carruthers to any patient seeking top surgery.

    2025-12-16

    2025-10-30

  • She was very knowledgeable, reassuring, patient, and kind.

    2025-10-19

  • I am uncomfortable with the "did they go over your prescriptions" question. I feel like if I say no someone gets a bad score but I have cancer, I am in constantly and a week ago someone went over my prescriptions. Really no need to do it again!

    2025-09-28

  • I just would like to say I know that I have a very good doctor, nurses, everyone is very caring. Answer all your questions and treat you with respect. All right, thank you. That's MDH, bye.
