"I truly appreciate Dr Hennessy being open to an alternative vax schedule and I like her as a person. However. Neither she nor anyone in her office respects patient's time. This morning I waited 50 minutes in an exam room to see a NP (no apologies for being so late, gone in five mins). I had a crabby 12 month old with influenza to keep occupied. This basic consistent lack of courtesy has me considering switching practices. I've been putting up with this a long time!"

"It’s great she was okay with alternate vaccine schedule. However, she lacks medical knowledge and is very impersonal. She is negligent as her prescribed treatment for labial adhesion was causing severe side effects and blistering of the skin, when I called to report it she still recommended continued use. I requested a referral to specialist, he agreed with me that is common for steroid cream to cause skin reaction and her adhesions where not severe to require treatment to just apply Vaseline. She went ahead and did fluoride varnish when I declined and got other parent’s consent behind my back. She does not respect parent’s choice or wishes, even when the mother herself is a resident physician. I could not have a professional conversation with her, she gets defensive and not willing to accept other opinions. The office flagged my account and I could not talk to her provider or make appointment because the father came in and had me removed from my daughter’s account. I was added back after he called and had their office manager add me back without a court order or anything legally refusing my right to have access to my daughter’s medical records."

"I had to leave a review. We have seen this doctor a few times now for my newborn daughter and I absolutely love her. I will be bringing all of my kids to her. At our first apt she & her team were able to determine why nursing was so difficult for us (my daughter had a lip tie) when the doctors and even lactation consultant at the hospital I delivered at somehow missed it even after looking. She clipped it right then and there and I cannot tell you how grateful I am for that."

"Dr.Hennessey is the best pediatrician ever ! She’s been kind , and listens to ever question or concern my family has . My son loves her , from the first day he was born (his first check up ) she’s treated us like family . I’ve never had to wait to get into my appointment except once, and I understand that because she’s taken as much time as I have needed in my appointments , she has never rushed me on my way or made me feel like I needed to hurry up . The office girls are always nice and kind to us , they treat my son like he is important . I had to take my baby to the ER before and the nurse answered 8 of my calls in a row when I had concerns about him when he was having an allergic reaction . She instantly picked up as soon as I called . This office is great , Dr.Hennessey is. More than a pediatrician she’s everything we have ever wanted for our first child . We trust her and always refer people to her simply because she gives us the time and patience and makes sure our baby gets what he needs ."

"This doctor is a very VERY unethical doctor. She was very standoff during the visit. Is incapable of filling out the proper FMLA paperwork! “Staff” Had the nerve to ask me if another relative can take my child to the doctor appointment!!! Will NOT return my call she referred my child to 3 different Specialties clinic yet when central scheduling reached out 2 of the appointments or in the same week and she refused to properly fill out the FMLA paperwork so I’m able to continue my son treatment and began pt. This was the worst referral I’ve ever been giving and would not recommend this doctor to single working moms! My child also suffers from spasms and can’t move & he’s under 16 and she feels it’s ok for him to be left home by himself !"
