Jacqueline Carreras: El medico y su staff estan comprometidos con sus pacientes💯❌💯

Dan Perry: I called at 1130 was put on hold for at least 15 20 minutes I hung up tried to call back and an answering service said they were at lunch till 1pm really if that's how u treat patients I don't want any part of it

T W: Docs and Nps are okay (not good or great, just acceptable) but other staff leaves something to be desired. Long wait times whenever you call. You get transferred around and if you leave a message it’ll take a while if you ever get a call back. Don’t even bother with their portal, messages remain “unopened” (yup we can see that as patients) for days and then no response is offered. Worst pcp group I’ve ever been with.

kelsi johnson: The employees are rude & disrespectful & have no patience. Horrible experience very unhelpful and they all need to lose the attitude or find a new job. Denise was especially disrespectful & hostile.

ashley grimes: I would like to commend Meghan who works in reception/medical record area. she is absolutely amazing and extremely helpful when I have not had the best luck looking for help in the medical field. she went above and beyond and deserves a raise! thank you again Meghan for truly being amazing and going out of your way for clients/patients.

Big Bill: Dr Sirakov and riverside medical group are great people and very efficient.., they follow up and genuinely care about their patients.

Wen Gu (wen): The office service is horrible and Dr Alexandra Miniati is definitely a doctor way too EXPENSIVE.They called me that my first appointment with Dr Miniati was Canceled ONLY three hours before the scheduled time and I didn’t get the phone call, so I ended up being at the office and then went back home. They never apologized for the last minute cancellation and the inconvenience that caused me.Then after my first time meet with Dr Alexandra Miniati, I told her my eye hurt a lot. She prescribed an eye drop which is not covered by my insurance AT All just after a simple eye check. That eye-drop, Olopatadine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic solution, USP, 0.1%, which is just for allergies and redness, cost me 247 bucks. I did a little research and found out that you can get the SAME thing everywhere without prescription (CVS Walgreens Amazon…)for 20bucks at max. I left a message at her office to ask her about the pricy eye drop and she never calls me back.And that 247 dollar eye drop didn’t work for my situation at all. My eye got worse and I can’t open it because it hurts like hell. I had to go to an ophthalmologist.The eye drops the ophthalmologist gave me, which you can’t get it without prescription, had a copay for 15 bucks and ACTUALLY worked.I am looking for a new place for primary care because I am too broke both financially and emotionally to be Dr Miniati’s patient.

Lynne Dery: The staff at Riverside Medical Group are extremely helpful. The receptionists are friendly and are always going out of their way when you call in accommodating you. I have been seeing Dr.Sirakov for many years and he is smart, a great advocate for getting you the services you need and really takes the time to listen. His medical assistant Cassandra, is particularly considerate and fast to answer any questions you have and makes getting help with instructions, referrals and needed paperwork ordered by Dr.Sirakov easy.

Erica Goroshko: Riverside medical group Has always been very accommodating with appointments and/or changes and following up promptly with testing results. The office staff is always pleasant to talk to. The entire practice of physicians is great although personally I feel Dr. Miniati is one of their best providers, as she is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough in comparison to other practices in the area. If they are accepting new patients and you were looking for a new primary care provider you will not be disappointed in your choice to join this practice.

Sheel Patel: Love this group! Especially Dr. Nanavati!!! They are all so professional and know how to make you laugh!

Nikita Naro: The staff was incredibly rude, didn't get back to me, and refused to let me to a consultation visit with one of their doctors to see if we would be a good fit.

Scott childress: Put me on hold and then hung up

Fran Granfield: Dr's are good with people. Business not so good. Push patients through to keep.making the mighty dollar. Shame on them as a company.

Sierra Milinazzo: Went here for a few years and the doctor is nice but the reception staff is rude and doesn't seem to really care about your existence.

Kristin P.: Dr. Petakov and his staff take excellent care of me. He is interested in your overall well being and treating any problems you have. Dr. Petakov is very caring and jovial, and he listens to you. If an urgent care problem comes up and Dr. Petakov’s schedule Is full, it can be addressed by one of his Nurse Practitioners, who are excellent. His support staff take care of billing, unlike the institution my husband goes to. Riverside Group is on top of these things. Thanks for taking good care of me.

John Griffiths: I have been with this group for nearly 8 years. I have Medicare Advantage insurance. What are all the alternatives of insurance accepted at Riverside Medical. I have no complaints what so ever. My PCP, Dr. Sirakov, and the office staff have been great.

costas koumpouras: Dr. Nanavatti is great. Helped me a lot and is easy to talk to! Will always be honest and open! I’d recommend to anyone!

Ruth Primeau: I have been seeing Dr. Clay and Ashley, the NP, for quite sometime now. They are both wonderful. They are very caring and intelligent ladies. Theyboth spend plenty of time with their patient. I am very grateful that my sister-in-law recommended that I start seeing Dr. Clay as my primary doctor.

Mary Dempsey: Very positive experience.I wish I could see my attending M.D. more often. The Nurse Practitioners and P.A.s are very well trained and very available.The clerical staff is helpful.

Josh Gillis: I was not asked to write a review nor did I at first intend to. I went to get the number to make an appointment and when I seen that the reviews here were negative I almost thought I was looking at the wrong site. I have been going here for 5 years now and I couldn't disagree more with the negative reviews with regards to Dr. Nanavati. I am not trying to downplay anyone's concerns that gave a negative review here but honestly if you read their own review most people I hope would kind of see through the negative reviews for what they really are and that's them not getting their own way or believing that their medical knowledge some how out ways the time spent in college earning and actual medical degree. I have sat in that waiting room in disbelief at how patient have treated the staff. You almost wonder if there is a hidden camera T.V show to see how you would react to others having a tantrum or yelling at staff. So here is my review.like I have said, I have been coming here for a little over 5 years. I have been a First Responder in this community for over 20 years and could comfortably say I have an idea about Emergency medicine as well as general medical issues. The staff here at Riverside are polite, greeting you with a smile and have gone out of there way to accommodate me on a few occasions. If your looking for a Dr who is going to give you medication you DON'T need or may not be beneficial to you down the line.. then Dr Nanavati is not your Dr. If you are looking for a Dr who likes to waste your time sending you for tests that in his experience see frequently and isn't necessary to give you the help you need, then Dr Nanavati is not the Dr for you. If you are looking for a Dr who is a yes man when it comes to your self diagnosis and what you think YOU need, then Dr Nanavati is not your Dr.BUT.. if your looking for a Dr who will listen to YOU who will do whats best for YOU, a Dr who is straight with you and tells you things that you may not want to hear.. like your wrong or you dont need that medication because of this reason.. then Dr Nanavati is the perfect Dr for you. There were plenty of times I too thought I had something different going on than his diagnoses or thought I needed something for him to flat out disagree . I opted to trust his medical judgement and to this very day I have not been able to prove him wrong! Dr. Nanavati has always done right by me and so much so that several of my colleagues as well as family now go there and feel the same way as I do.The only negative comment I would have is that sometimes your wait for a prescription to be sent to a pharmacy can be somewhat lengthy but again its a busy office

Ana D: They do not give the patient the attention they need, my father has been going there for a few years now to my surprise! I never write a review but I feel like I should help people save the headache and find a better place for a primary doctor. They are very incompetent at riverside!

Tyler Isabelle: Super unorganized staff. NO one working in billing!! They transfer you from line to line. Constantly on hold forever and then line goes dead. Doctors rush you out the door. Will stick it out until I have time to find a new doctor.

TIALIAH ARIAS: The best clinic ever especially the Doctor, his been my doctor for years brought my son in as a new patient and he was very caring

Ronald S: They were closed when I needed my medication. Never received a single call from them about anything. It’s been months since the doctor cut me off from all my medication and didn’t even inform me, you can’t even get ahold of them. They don’t care about patients and will leave you without meds and won’t even contact you it’s just a matter of time. Also it takes 9 hours for a 5 minute visit with this office and doctor , awful place wouldn’t recommend to anyone

J Porter: For my job I often am dealing with masshealth clients and providers. Make sure you have lots of time for appointments since the doctors always “running behind” by about two hours minimum. Also had issues with doctor signing off or ordering requested transportation services -after repeated requests. It’s just not very considerate patient care or respectful of their time. Also the follow up appointments are border line unnecessary- every two weeks for follow ups?

Ehsan: Update: I have to take three stars off, because for the last three times I had to refill my medication, staff at the office had been very unhelpful and I had to spend hours over the phone and constantly call them and follow up to have my prescription faxed to my pharmacy. It's been very disappointing and frustrating.I Went there to do my annual physical test. Staff are friendly and Dr. Danesh was very caring and friendly too. I received my result over the phone and easily. At the time of my visit they were still accepting new patients.

Shahla Sanei: This group,doctor Danesh, back office, front desk are perfect, caring and very nice,

Emily Marsden: Absolute worst healthcare I have ever received in my life. If you have an actual problem, do not come here because they want to do nothing but the bare minimum. I have a degenerative disease of the connective tissue called EDS, which impacts my joints and every organ in my body, causing me a lot of pain and discomfort in my daily life. I have been a patient here for the past 4 years and have complained about many symptoms as they continue to develop, just to not be taken seriously and have my problems shrugged off. At my last appointment, my provider told me verbatim that I was overthinking my symptoms, and that is when I made the decision to finally switch doctors. After switching to Lahey, within just one week, I had several referrals to specialists who all confirmed that I was in fact NOT overthinking my symptoms and offered me the solutions that I needed. I wish I had made the switch sooner, maybe my symptoms would not have progressed as they did because of CBC's incompetence. I cannot express how relieved I feel to finally be listened to and have some answers. CBC does not deserve to be in practice, and I hope this review is helpful in steering people away from them.

Jacob Sullivan: My girlfriend has been coming to the place for the past 3 years and have done nothing for her. She has a degenerative disease called EDS where her muscles and joints don’t work properly and create many complications in her daily life. At her last visit the Doctor actually said “I think your over thinking your symptoms” so that’s when we finally decided to change doctors.When we changed almost all of her questions where answered. She legitimately cried because the doctor actually listened to her. She’s already been to 2 separate specialist and have confirmed all of her symptoms as true.Moral of the story is, if you have a problem don’t go to this place because the honestly just want your money and don’t care about their patients.

S M Fijul Kabir: I wish I could make zero start. This is a worse place. They irrelevantly set some labs for new patients (they say it is their policy), which are not related to patient problem. When I asked, they says they do it for every new patients (the diagnosis seems like physical and that is I thought). Also, they do not reveal the test results unless and until, I visited the office (again, I was told it is the policy). They are using these traps (seems like setting policy to make bills) to make bills. I would warn people before taking the service.

Arjun Joshi: Been going for Primary Care needs for a few years. They've been reliable. Wait times are variable but my appointments are, by and large, efficient. Physicians/Practitioners are solid and thorough. Office is easily accessible and generally haven't had many problems over the years. Virtual appointments made simple appointments much easier as well.

Kevin Schendell: The doctors and Nurse Practitioners are pretty good, but the nursing staff and administration are not. They are super unhelpful, especially over the phone.

Epic Fail: Been going here for 3yrs now, and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Deedee Kim: My grandma has been coming here for the past few years and the service/care has deteriorated completely. It takes MULTIPLES DAYS for the doctor to send a prescription to the pharmacy (most if not all doctors send it right after the appointment). They have cancelled her appointments without even telling her. It’s by far the most disorganized and unprofessional practice I’ve ever witnessed.

SAT Nick: This office is very pleasant and warming . It so convenient for me, I do my labs and walking are always available and they also take patient at the age of 13 like my daughter . They treat you well and also comfort you with snacks while you wait . I will deff recommend this office to family and friends

Katti Correa: I have been the patient at this office for over 20 years. The staffs are so nice and very responsible. They always smile and give me a warm welcome. I can walk in any time when I don't feel good. I never have to worry about not able to get an appointment or have to go to ER. Love them🙂

Rosie Long: Worst place to go to . Our apointment was at 1pm and we were seen at around 2:20pm . The np rushed our appointment and basically was saying she couldn't answer any questions because she had other appointments. The staff there also acted as if they didnt want to communicate with us .

Leanne Ward: This doctor's office is horrible. The office staff is so rude. When I go to see the NP she doesn't even do anything. I'm reporting this place.

S Scott Jacobs (SScott): I love this office. I’ve been there 3 times and was treated with so much care. The staff there are incredibly kind, caring and helpful. The wait time was minimal. I’m usually in and out less than an hour. I highly recommend this office to everyone.

Corrupted Shadow: Pro- close to home, mult-bilingualCONS- extremely long wait time, poor quality patience relation, Unnecessary appointments, non-supportive staff, non-motivated staff, extremely RUDE.Save your self time and greaf, go elsewhere

A J: Good excellent primary health care. Interpreters in Spanish and Cambodian available. I found the staff to be helpful, compassionate and caring. Well run. They have walk in appointments available.
