Best Vasculitis Specialists Boston Near Me

y tar: Incompetence - that is one word that comes to mind!!!

brie Dunn: I been with tufts primary for a year & unfortunately I have a terminal illness so I there quiet often. They are always right on point.

Jennifer G: Doctors rotate so frequently, I am on my 3rd primary care doctor in 5 years. Hard to build rapport with a physician if they are constantly leaving, not the type of care I am looking for long term.

Aly Sultan: Abysmal administration. Just try to get an external referral to a specialist. I’ve never seen incompetence this bad in my entire life.

L: Tufts Primary Care at 260 Tremont is the most poorly designed and managed heal care facility I’ve been to. At check in, you are forced to stand in line in the door way with everyone going in and out around you and no privacy when it’s your turn to speak to the receptionist. Each exam room is identified by a piece of paper taped to the door instead of proper name plates. The computer system doesn’t work in exam rooms. We’ve met some rude doctors and nurses though some were nice. If you go to the blood draw room, be prepared for the fact that it’s a small room divided into 2 sections separated by a curtain. You will either have other patients and their companions walk right past you while you are having your blood drawn if you are in the front section, or you will have to walk past another patient having their blood drawn to get to the back section - never seen that kind of set up at other facilities. It wasn’t easy getting an appointment so we were looking forward to it. What a thorough disappointment. We will not go back.

Francis Gorski: Odd to read these 1 star reviews. I have had nothing but great experiences with the Tufts Primary Care team. I highly recommend.

James: Avoid this hospital and healthcare system at all costs. If you truly value the quality of people, doctors and care you’re receiving, go elsewhere. We live in Boston, which has some of the best hospitals in the world. If you do come here, be prepared for absolute nightmares answering the phone and coordinating/scheduling, mean nurses and staff, incompetent foreign doctors and internists who will treat you like cattle, scheduling that is out multiple months for any kind of appt involving an actual MD or specialist, even if you just got out of the hospital and have a legitimate reason. Everyone I have encountered here, after being hospitalized for the better part of a month and then 6 months of follow ups, has been completely incompetent and spoken to me as if I don’t know what I am talking about when asking questions or voicing concerns about a serious condition. I used to think so highly of medical and hospital staff during the pandemic, not any more after visiting tufts. Don’t waste your time here. They don’t care about you, they care about getting you in for as many meaningless appointments as possible and getting your insurance for every dime they can. Something needs to change regarding how this place is run! Don’t go here!

Matthew Greene: Well I personally didn’t really appreciate how hard it was to get in to see a E.N.T doctor when I kept complaining about my ears. I had to tell my primary care Dr I wanted to see one. I also had a cyst and ingrown hair in my nose. Had to fight for it. Unfair my insurance covered the E.N.T doctor. Why should we have to wait & ask for a referral if we need the help? W.E. Idc anymore. I got in and he did some tests and gave me this antibacterial cream that I had no idea even existed. Works great.Another thing was I scheduled an appointment to see my neurologist online and then never got a confirmation or an appointment at all until I called over the phone . Awful customer service experience. Now I’m waiting until March yay could not be more excited… guess if I have seizures I’ll just lie down in my bed and die until March. Can’t get help at CVS or Walgreens. Nothing helps. Not even these silly prescriptions. I will still go though because I love my neurologist and the neurosurgeon he sent me to. Great guys I loved the entire team. It’s just unfair and unhelpful sometimes. I get Covid , but that’s a revolving circle for everyone. Companies have to do better job for everyone to get in & see their doctors.

Wing: was fine until ....I made an follow up appointment for palpitations for today (11/30/2021) at 11am. I called the office this morning to confirm and somehow the coordinator cancelled my appointment without letting me know. I called the office again to reschedule an appointment and was told that nothing is available until next year 1/18/2022. This appointment was set up 4 weeks ago and I need to discuss my test result in order to re-start my medication. now i need to reschedule all my future appointment... Thanks Tufts

Ahmed Ali: Bad bad bad bad doctors

David Álvarez Lombardi: AVOID THIS OFFICE. Deserves 0 stars. Everything is a complete mess. I have missed treatment on numerous occasions due to failures of this office whether it be appointments, prescriptions, or referrals. Everyone has a "that's not my job" mentality and nothing gets done.

Nicole Perrin: If I could give zero stars, I would. My appointment was rescheduled. Parking is an absolute nightmare. Signage is terrible. Nobody answers the phone to help. The secretary at the front desk was super nice. She gets 5 stars. Unfortunately, she couldn’t make up for the rest of the bad experience. I will never go back.

Benjamin Chaim: While I have had decent experiences with the rest of the hospital, I can't speak for the actual quality of the primary care department. For some bizarre bureaucratic reason, primary care is apparently the only department in the hospital that doesn't accept my insurance. Of course, they said they did over the phone when I was scheduling this appointment. I didn't find out until I had driven an hour to get here and they wouldn't see me or even waive my parking fee.

gloria middleton: I have been a patient here since 1999 and my doctors have all been beyond exceptional! Starting with Dr Kender who was amazing and kind. When she retired it was truly heartbreaking for me as I considered her not only my exceptional doctor but my friend as well. When I became a patient of Dr. Ang’s it was an unexpected blessing not only for me but for my dad who was transitioning and died 2015. I was blessed with Dr. Ang’s kindness, knowledge, and exceedingly warm character. She was so supportive and I believe she went above and beyond to assist me and my dad during this traumatic period. Unfortunately Dr. Ang moved to another state and I still think of her with gratitude and profound love.Ultimately I am now with another amazing doctor who exemplifies the same magnificent characteristics as my previous doctors! Dr. Chawla is extraordinary to say the least. She is what all doctors should strive to be, intelligent, kind, caring, receptive, and most importantly ( to me) a welcoming spirit . Her NP, Jill Hallsey, is definitely cut from the same cloth. She is just as efficient and kind as Dr. Chawla is. It was a pleasure to see her in Dr. Chawla’s absence recently.Finally, my experiences with the medical center has been rewarding and fulfilling both at the Biewend Building as well as any interactions with the hospital. I always recommend Tufts but I do realize all doctors are not created equal but I have absolutely no complaints about my experiences.

Ginnilee Berger: The doctors are all very welcoming, they know what they're doing and they don't run for the door when they see me coming- multiple medical issues and very accident prone. I particularly like my PCP, Jana Naef, because she knows what she's doing, has a good sense of humor & an excellent bedside manner.

Vineeth Rao: I've tried to reach the Tufts Medical Center Insurance Referral Department all day and I've not been able to get through.

JOSE NIEVES: Uno de los mejores hospitales,donde se encuentran los mejores situjanos

Ronald Couming: Mass General Hospital refused to let me see my father. Changed policy today, from 1 Vistor at a time,, to 1 a day. No notice. Not happy. Diagnosed Stomach cancer 2 days ago, after being here 10 days or so. I was literally 40 feet from his room, 7th floor, and they told me to beat it. With a smile and i am sorry. They could have given me 5 minutes, SMH. PS my sister works here, and has for 25 years.

isloveinme God: The worst hospital my son almost die because of negligence. They work there only for the money. The ER waiting is crazy🙄don't go there please

Tracy Donahue: Deplorable, we waited as the doctor ran an hour and a half late. We were not even notified, we were just expected to wait. I called to try and reschedule, I was told I could not get another appointment for three months. I could not wait in the waiting area with my husband as it was only for patients. This was not due to Covid it was because they were doing construction. My concern was that my husband is diabetic and he could not eat or drink and no one even checked on him as he waited. The girl at the desk told me I had to leave when I went in to check on him, because I could see on my phone his blood sugar was off. Waiting in the hallway all I heard from other staff members is how overbooked and short staffed they were. This was once a world class hospital. I have never been so disappointed as I have been today. People think coming to Boston you get better care. A hospital is only the building, the care is the doctors and people that care for patients. The patient care today has been more than disappointing.

jerry ferullo: My sister had procedure done their and I had to pick her up, the doctor called and said be their in two hours after battling the boston traffic i arrived 15 minutes early and was told to wait at the entrance for 30 minutes and they will call me to come up but after a hour i had the front desk call upstairs and they told her it would be another hour. So i decide to go to the calf for something to eat and waited in line to watch if your a employee of mass general you get to skip the line and order and talk to the people working there so i just said they aren't going to get my money and left bad enough i have to pay more and more for parking.

scotti mac: This place is the worst for scheduling and keeping appointment times.My experience relates to OBGYN services and Ultrasound. My wife and I can’t believe how behind they are always and the wait times. One of our experiences was an ultrasound then then Dr appt hours later.

Marie Doucette: I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I am leaving MGH ER in Boston at 5:35 am after spending over10 hours sitting in the waiting room. There were patients in beds in the halls lined up like sardines. The nurses are drawing blood and putting in IV lines in the crowded halls and waiting rooms. This has to be a health code violation for sure. I was told by the ER doctor that I was being admitted to see a specialist in the morning but hours and hours later, I’m still in the waiting room. I asked to speak to the doctor and 2 hours later a different doctor arrived and said he decided not to admit me and to just wait in the waiting room to see the specialist when he got in, He had no idea why I was even there, he never asked. After being awake for 24 hours, I was not only exhausted, I felt so much worse than when I got there to begin with. That was an absolute waste in so many ways. I will never go back!

Lokranjan Majhi: Great hospital.

Tom Zhao: Gooooooood

John Mckinnon: Outstanding nurses, I don't know how they manage to perform their assignments under such circumstances . Thank you for all you do!!

Djamine Illa Nary: The level of patience that the staff displays is extraordinary. This place is always overcrowded yet the staff takes care of everyone without flinching.

E James: This hospital is not what it used to be, have to wait 4 months for surgery for a burst disk, have now been told that the wait will cause me to never be able to use my legs again. Lol.... Go to Tufts!

James Mill: Have spent several days at MGH supporting a sibling. It has been a tumultuous time, and I witnessed firsthand the extraordinary challenges that the staff faces in the Emergency Department. I want to call out two employees, in particular, Dr. Chait and a nurse named Alan from the ER, who showed tremendous grace under pressure and empathy, which ultimately helped sustain us through a tough time. Thank you, and I hope someone reading this will pass along the kudos to these two individuals.

Matthew St. Germain: Worst patient experience for Lyme Care. Worst Referral process. Worst Patient care in New England. Do not bother to contact them for any Lyme related services, they do not accept referrals. They will not tell you until you have submitted your request 3 or more times without response. The gate keepers will be condescending and tell you it was not received (although you can clearly access your referrals on the portal). Then you will receive a fax back telling you that you've just wasted 3 months of your time trying to get care because they do not accept referrals from "outside". Avoid them for your own personal health.

Gisa Diniz: Oiltimo

Eileen Brown: i came to mass general for serious GI issues from northern new hampshire. i came there as i always heard that mass general was the number one hospital and world class care. i found a doctor whom i thought was really good. so good i thought i waited over four months to see him. the visit was fine i thought. it only got bad when i spoke up for myself concerning my very low and elevated labwork. Dr. Botoman said everything fine, everything mild, normal when i knew it wasnt. when i couldn't get a response over my elevated blood level he sent me a message at 8:30 pm. very angerly. stating and i quote " You need to forget the labs and your focus needs to be on your weight and mental health. when i was there with him he disregarded previous hospitals report. saying " they dont even sound sure and he could even have my condition the previous hospital suspected, and he was more concerned with my throat than my stomach. my endoscope he said was just routine, no cause for concern. i was suppose to wait 5 1/2 months as it was "no big deal". I finally said enough. and mind you this wasnt the only horror experience i had at mass general. i went elsewhere and come to find out, previous hospital was correct. told i had atrophic gastritis and pernicous anemia. look it up if you dont know just how serious they are. Dr. Botoman literally played with a very serious health condition. i guarentee a medical complaint will be in the works from me for this. Dr. Botoman and mass general are the worst excuse for a doctor and hospital i have experienced. this borders on medical neglect. plain and simple.

David Weissman: Terri of MGH downtown in Boston is absolutely wonderful! She is extremely empathetic, Kind, professional, caring with an amazing bed side manner.

James Cali: Good luck getting an appointment. You are lucky if they answer your call.

Marcella Gomes: This is the worst hospital I've ever been to in my life. I waited for more than 5 hours, no doctor attended to me, I felt a lot of pain after having an accident, they left me in a room waiting for hours and the doctor did not come. then they want to charge an expensive amount for this health garbage. worst service, inhuman, lack of respect for people.

Jeff Trott: I was getting worried reading the horrible reviews while my Mom and I were waiting for my Dad to have his lung biopsy. Most of them seem to be about the emergent care, and ours was all scheduled stuff. Our whole day was seamless. Prompt check in at 6:30, imaging department was helpful and called my Mom throughout the day with updates. Every time they gave us was correct down to the minute. Dad’s biopsy went as well as it could have and they made sure he was well before discharge. If anyone is here that wrote the one star reviews, I hope everything got better for you. I felt anxious reading them and can’t imagine having to live through some of those stories.

Gilberto Otero: Only issue is always the parking. Otherwise great hospital with top notch staff . We travel from Western Mass because of it.

Douglas Frost: Very organized office.

Zabeth Billingham: Genuinely friendly, listened to my concerns without judgement, demonstrated true concern that I get the best possible care to meet my needs. Deeply experienced and confidence inspiring. Got me scheduled for surgery ASAP. I like him!

Heidi Maguire: I have always been very happy with the care I received from Miss Lindsey and Dr. Sammy’s Team

Derek Auckland: The HR department needs serious serious help. I applied for the sterile processing dept countless times and never got a response. They finally got back to me saying that I don’t meet the qualifications lol. I have 10 plus years of experience, I have all my certifications, went to school for this and have people at BI that can vouch that not only am I qualified but I’m over qualified. It just goes to show how absolutely lazy the HR team is here. If they actually bothered to look they would see that I’m more than qualified, but due to their inability to do there jobs I probably won’t ever get in, as goes for anyone else that applies here…

Beth Carey at Keller Williams: Amazing care, staff, surgery, on time appointments, convenient X-rays 2 doors down, parking is always available as well. Absolutely recommend going here 😃😃

Loretta LeVay: Dr Hezel is caring, professional, knowledgeable and does all he can to bring the best treatment to his patients.

Karen Hamilton: Dr. Anderson is amazing at what she does. She takes the time to explain things and made my anxiety about my surgery less traumatic. Her nurses and staff at Beth Israel are so professional and friendly.

Margaret Brown: Dr. Davis is one of the most genuine doctors that I‘ve met in years! Thanks for the time, explanation, and reassurance.

Sean Ellies: Kevin Samaha gives me great advice.I totally put my trust in him.

Antonio Zanon: The best all the stuff very attentive special kudos to doctor TURNER

Pierre d'Hemecourt: Dr Ramappa is excellent with great skills, knowledge and personality

James Johnson: Juliana was extremely helpful and professional! Felt comfortable with her and Dr. Magit immediately. Great team that I highly recommend!

Suely Nascimento: Had a great experience. The provider is lovely

Andrea Candreva: Alex is absolutely AMAZING!! We recommend 100%. She really cares about her patients and is easy to talk too. She puts everything in lamnet terms for you. She knows or has a very strong idea of what is going on with you with just a few symptoms. She comes up with a great care plan for your specific needs. She is just an Amazing NP!

Harry M Carey, Jr.: Very patient with me and staff. Excellent manner and patient concern.

Amy Stevens: Dr. David Magit and his entire team are nothing less than stellar!

Sue Owrutsky: I expected a long awful recovery from my shoulder surgery but it was the exact opposite! Seamless from top to bottom and such compassionate providers!! Highly recommend!!!

Craig Swanson: Dr, Robert G: Davis , is amazing. He has such presence he puts you at ease. He listens and explains answers to all your question. If it were not for him I would not be walking well at all. He caught things in my knee no others did. And for that I am for ever grateful. He is an asset to the Harvard Medical University community. And I send everyone I know with knees problems to him. Truly an Amazing Doctor.Sincerely, Craig W Swanson

Blue Skies Above: Caring, compassionate doctor. He has an incredible team with him in the OR.

Justin Palermo: Dr. Wixted and his staff were great! I just started PT and hope to be skiing again soon.

pujala pavankumar: I'm rating it 5 because of news that a doctor operated unborn baby child.

Emily Hines: They saved my life and were very nice too! Very good hospital (:

Jatnna Medina: Wasn’t a visit rather necessary. The hospital is very much updated & felt very much well attended on this date.

Luc Louis: I love that place.

Chaz Birdie: Have another hole now they refuse to close it up which is the reason. This happened from the previous hole I'm gonna close it up myself

diana rivera: This has been first experience with this hospital and hope it be the last there was negligence with my niece that’s mentally challenge the supervision and attention wasn’t there .

Jim Farley: The doctors, nurses, and staff at BWH are top notch! The level of communication at this hospital (telephone, texts, VM) is archaic!

Alaina King: The best - the doctors, nurses and staff are all professional and extremely helpful. Recent procedure there went great, we are so fortunate to have some of the best medical professionals in the world!

Pearl: Dr Chen and Mei are two of the best health care providers and professionals anywhere. My recent knee replacement from start to finish was well handled & professional. B & K

Timothy Rogers: Other than walking around trying to figure out where I'm supposed to go, it went great!

Blind Owl: I was a patient on for a little over a week. The nursing staff on 8b was fantastic! Special thanks to Mara and Emily. You two saw me through some especially tough times. I loved telling dad jokes, thanks for laughing at them.The food was above and beyond normal hospital food.

Gb O: The info desk people are some of the most inept, rude people I've ever met. I can't imagine what patients go through in the hospital. I was given the wrong directions to get to the vascular lab 3 times by 3 different people. Imagine having an emergency and you get told to go to the wrong place?

tiffany carr: If I could give this place, zero stars, I would I don't even know where to begin first I had to wait two hours to then be sent to sit in a hallway on a stretcher absolutely zero privacy. Then they have a bunch of students practicing on you when you have serious stuff going on then I was there for eight hours and sent home in the same discomfort, actually I walked out feeling worse. They poisoned me with some iodine stuff for a CAT scan, and I felt extremely sick for 48 hours after the hospital visit. I wouldn't trust these people at all and I would not go here ever again and I wouldn't even recommend someone dying to go here. Then they tried to schedule me a follow up to act like they cared you know to pretend and then said that they don't accept my insurance and can't give me a follow up, so they just don't care about you and you're just gonna go there so a bunch of students can practice on you. No one's going to actually treat you were care about you

dagmar tomerlin: There are staff affiliated with an Indian reservation and they are misogynists and will medically abuse you.

Hanah Rahman: Worst experience

Robert Gagliano: Beat cancer got initial referral from Dr marvin Berman south Coast hospital in Fall River ma, and BWH Dr Julia McNabb-baltar and Dr bleday. Who referred me to Dr Jiping Wang, PhD sarcoma expert / surgeon Dana Farber and BWH Dr greame Steele urologist bwh/ surgery. Kept bladder lost sarcoma. Now getting cancer survalence - terrific team

Arturo Gutierrez: Worst hospital ever, nurse are very rude. .i.

Tom C: Had our scheduled pregnancy phone appointment. I was deeply offended they would offer my wife vaccines during pregnancy and continued to defend them after we declined. I would look to other natural birthing centers if u also want to bring healthy natural babies into the world and not be sold like a car salesman.

Joe Burakoff: The staff is here is excellent.

Abby Mills: If you are trying to make an appt. with Dr. Michael Stanchina, you will encounter the rudest front desk secretaries with no concern for patient health. I have called the office multiple times and have either been met with extremely unprofessional help with non-answers, or on this latest call, the woman kept interrupting me and would not listen. I asked for her name and she hung up on me.
