Best Internist Lowell Near Me

Jessica Inglis: Switched to here as i heard they were decent. Only ever saw NP's which were very nice and They seemed okay at first but now its impossible to even get a appointment with the drs there. A see why the reviews rating have gone done for this office. A np suggested meeting the dr waited 3 months, You make the appt they call you either later in the day beforehand or am to say its cancelled and tell you you have to wait another 3 months. Okay do that and same repeat oh we have to cancel you can wait another 3 months as they are pushed out 3 months at a time.. 6 months go by and then you give up even trying cause it will be cancelled again. And now with covid if you have the slightest simailar symptoms (cause colds dont exist anymore) and testing negative many times they will only offer a phone call which does nothing if you has asthma problems a phonecall doesnt do vitals etc. What a joke! Lets flood urgent cares and ERs more as if the waits arent already long enough and they domt know amy history as if your primary cares would. But make sure you have a primary care.

E C (Lobo): Good luck trying to reach your physician

Michael Sutherland: I hate this place and will be finding a new GP rather than deal with this office. The appointment line never calls back even after leaving multiple messages. Your only way to reach someone is to repeatedly spam call them until they get fed up and pick up the phone. Then they will tell you as quickly as they can all the reasons why they can't help you before transferring you to a dead-end voicemail box.

Sye S: Terrible, its so hard to even reach my primary care doctor, calls are not returned in timely manner or not at all...

Pat Cote: Seldom can reach my physician. calls are not returned for follow up in a timely manner.. The office staff does not appear to know what they're doing. Not sure the nurse ever consults with my doctor. I am elderly and I have complex healthy issues and need to my doctor is on top things. That is not happening.

Pamela Kelleher: Horrible office staff. I left years ago for that reason. Today I tried obtaining my records and was reminded of why I left. They are rude, uncompassionate, impatient and NEVER answer the phone.

chris mcdermott: Have been seen several times and still have not been able to access test results. It has been 4 months!!! They never answer the phone, and messages end in me receiving an email for access to their patient portal which does not have my phone # on record to receive a verification code to access the portal. More calls, just get a recording. Was very unimpressed with the Dr. but this is horriffic.

Jill Elwell: The office staff doesn’t know which health plans they accept? Also takes days to get a return call. Oh and the doctor your daughter wanted to see who is listed as accepting pts is going on maternity leave....may be a great practice, if you can get in the door. Good luck.

Barbara Richard: Wonderful office, clean, pleasant, very professional staff. I followed Ms Thompson NP, as did very many others, when her original office closed. She is super knowledgeable, good listener, I never feel rushed, have met Dr. Waters and other staff and all good.

Sunny Sherring: Dr Patakov work in this office.Please stay away from him . We had very very bad experience with him. I would never ever recommend this Dr Petakov too anyone who needs Primary care dr.

Julie Chasse: Amazing!!!! Best Dr and office staff ever!

Bill Brown: Very very awesome dr listens to you and really cares about your health

Jeffrey Estrella: Dr Andrew and Dr Mark are the best. I've been with Dr Mark since 1986. The staff is friendly and helpful. Hopefully they accept my son as a new patient.

Evelyn Clavell: This is the The worst experience ever, I called to make an appointment for my son and the receptionist, Didn’t have any experience what is what she was talking about, Besides that she hung up the phone on me, only because I called to make an appointment for my son, that Dr. Mark is his doctor and she refused to give me the appointment because my son have a insurance that he takes only for existing patients, mind that on my son insurance shows dr. Mark that’s the doctor so, it doesn’t make sense for me to change plans for him to see him and then go back to the plan he got before so he can continue seeing him, this sounds so ridiculous, it’s doesn’t make sense. Worse experience, lacks of professionalism and I’m going to be very happy to go to another Dr.very Rude, people 😣

Sara Mahoney: Dr. Andrew Romanowsky is attentive and amazing! He really listens and cares. I love all of his staff, they are so friendly and accommodating! Haley (I don't know if I am spelling it right!) is always understanding and gets me in and out in time to get my kids! Thank you all!

Scott Roberge: Very compassionate Doctor and staff that is why I stayed as his patient after moving to Northern New Hampshire 200 miles and 3 1/2 hours 1 way. That is how much I trust him and his staff.

Jennifer Larochelle: I have been going here since I was a child and they are really nice people!😊

Denise Dolan: From the staff to the Dr. Everyone is considerate and caring. Dr. ROMANOWSKI takes the time to discuss prognosis and refer to the appropriate Dr. If necessary. He always takes the time to listen. I never feel rushed.His staff stay on top of my yearly appointments with all my Doctors. They will schedule those appointments if I like. So I don't go years without being seen.

Elaine Poulopoulos: Dr. Meltsakos is one of the caring doctors I’ve ever met. The staff is also very friendly and caring.You may expect extended waiting times because Dr. Meltsakos has a lot of patients and he’s not the kind of doctor who rushed out.

Scott J.: I am a patient at the Practice, and Would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND being treated here. My NP Nicole Mcintyre is VERY Thorough, performed every test that was needed, She listens to every one of Your concerns. She Is My Favorite Medical Professional I have ever come across.Actually reviews your chart/notes, and recalls issues You may have. EXCELLENT QUALITY CARE.Thank You, Scotty Johnson 😊👍

Martha “Shea”: Everyone was awesome friendly l would recommend anyone to go see them.

eleanor begen: been going here for over 25 years love the dr and staff are the best. nurse practitioner is awesome too..wouldnt change it for the world love it

Yasin Karagöz: Stay away! I went there 2 time for physical my insurance was covering the physical but I got the pay some amount to hospital and when I called them and asked them they said they did something wrong with coding, wanted me to call the insurance company and insurance company said they did extra test for my physical which is not true. Anyway stay away! They are not taking care of the billing side well.

Gail M. DeMarco: So I called to have the office fax the medical form for the vaccine. I was told they don’t do that. They mailed it and I had to fax it myself. When I called to see if they received the fax, I was told the doctors office should have been the one to fax it. Now I have to wait till May to be vaccinated because I waited so long for the form. Shame on the office for not faxing the form as recommended. Not a good way to take care of their patients.

daniel nixon: so far my first impression when you go to the office very clean waiting room excellent staff and i agree with the receptionist they are busy people shouldnt need to be reminded of your appointment 5 stars

Katie Tzimos: Cannot get ahold of anyone. No one calls back. Treatment is non existent. The staff at the front desk is incredibly rude. Overall a terrible office. This is why our family members have left.

Ānanda Coughlin: No reminder call for 1st appointment. Called because I needed to know if I had an appointment and to schedule from the pain I'm in and the receptionist gave me the worst tone and told me while I was in tears that I'm an adult, I didn't need a reminder call. Terrible!

Gail Spencer: Saved my life more than once!! Very greatful!

Princess Charming: Wonderful doctor. Could be a bit more prompt. Is usually stuffy in his office. Only likes to take care of one problem at a time. Other than that, no complaints. The staff is all great and super friendly!

Antonio Mendieta: Great caring Doctor. Great office staff

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.

Anthony Nganga: Used to be my doc. Has no time for patients
