    Hi, yes, my experience with doctor, this provider was very, very good. My husband and I went to see this doctor, but I was very pleased. We were both very, very pleased. I felt very comfortable with this doctor and meeting him for the first time. He's very, very, extremely knowledgeable, a surgeon, and very strongly recommended to us.

    I had a very great experience with Dr. Clancy. I thought he was very professional. He was very intelligent. He was very caring. He listened and he explained everything very well. He ordered tests and medications that were appropriate and he knew exactly what to say and do. I'm still working with him and I know that I will receive the best possible care with Dr. Clancy and I'm very happy that I was able to meet and see him.

    I found Dr. Clancy to be very thorough in answering all of the questions that I had and concerns, citing specific research and up-to-date studying of the trends given the nature of why I was seeing him. So that was reassuring and he was a second opinion for me and I'm just grateful that I was able to get in and he is one of the folks in the region that are known for or dealing with the type of diagnosis that I'm looking at. Again, grateful for it. Found his discussions of research material and outcomes and potential treatment and surveillance recommendations to be thorough. Thank you.

    I was happy he was flexible to accept a request to change to a virtual appointment, rather than having to drive into Boston for a short meeting where the doctor was just discussing the results of an MRI. That saved me almost 3 hours

    In the 2+ years since my major abdominal surgery occurred, Dr. Clancy has been readily available to see me or respond to any questions I might have about my health. In this particular visit, as is always the case, Dr. Clancy took the time necessary to explain the results of a recent MRI and to assure me that all is well. He is always patient, empathetic, and willing to take the time necessary to ensure my confidence in my own health.

    Dr. Clancy was extremely interested in my health and he went overboard to get back to me to coordinate the one test that we did have. He actually called me at home three different times to bring me up to date as to what was going on. He's an extremely caring and qualified individual and you were really lucky to have him. He's great.
