Dr. William L. Hiser MD Baystate Cardiology…read more If your looking for subpar service! Disgruntled and miserable staff (not all but some) and call backs and or responses about your health concerns a week or more later, then go here! You'll be treated like you just stepped off of a heart attack assembly line! Here's a test or two, some medication and sent on your way.. "See you in a year!" I've tried my best to give this place a fair shot, nearly two years of my life in fact of going back and forth with a cardiologist who could give two shits about my life and care. He defaults to a laundry lists of medications with no consideration to preconditions, side affects or anything remotely conducive to your growth medically post heart attack! Countless months being torched by side affects, articulating and communicating explicitly to him how the meds affect me only to be put on more meds and feel worse! I have an underlying issue currently that I can't even get clear cut answers too because apparently his pride and ego have set the precedent here before any care whatsoever! At least for the cardiologist in question and some of his underlings that is! Can't speak to the entire practice, I will say that. Now he's decided to drop me as a patient because I advocated for myself and demanded that he stick to his oath and provide better care! I received a text message about heart failure medication that was sent to my local pharmacy, which prompted me to call the office and ask what was going on because that term " Heart Failure" had never been used in the two years I've gone there! Only to be given an unclear diagnosis and test result via email, rather than my provider calling me and letting me know that my heart is on the decline and failing! ALL VIA EMAIL! As of yet, I haven't received clear and concise test result from a most recent Echocardiogram and full blood work up. I was contacted by my doctor only after I learned about my heart failure through my local CVS pharmacy and complained to the nurse at the cardiology office that the guy sent me an email telling me I have heart failure, and that my heart function is in decline VIA EMAIL and has provided no clear and concise careplan going forward, other than guess what! MORE MEDICATION!!! This doctor is unprofessional to say the least! During a phone call with him last year, he completely lost it over the phone and used language with me that was so disrespectful that I had to report him to management and escalate the issue of his lack of professionalism! He did it in the presence of another practitioner at that! And even then, I still gave him a chance to take charge of my care because I still had some faith in him as a doctor and provider! What a mistake! I am reporting the practice and this doctor to the state board in hopes that this place gets an audit, corrections and changes actually get made! I am writing this in hopes that others don't make the same mistake I did! As a young man suffering a heart attack, it's been tough learning how to navigate around this new ailment and way of life as a result of bad genetics! No one needs a doctor or a practice who's job is to care for you and look after your better interests making you feel worse than when you walked in. Maybe I wasn't the right skin color, and didn't deserve better care? Maybe the doctor is only proficient in dealing with geriatric patients? Maybe he was upset that he was reported and didn't care to treat me anymore and was looking for ways to get rid of me? Who knows! Thanks for NOTHING Dr. Willam L. Hiser! You stole a year and a half of my life! Added ZERO improvement to the quality of my life and care you would expect to receive from a professional who's job is to "Do No Harm" And I pray I'm well enough to get back everything I've lost under your care or lack there of, it's clear you don't want patients who can speak up and advocate for them selfs.....

I have an extensive cardiac history for someone as young as myself so I feel I needed someone who…read morewas attentive & compassionate. Well where to begin... Dr. Toce has a never-ending sarcastic sense of humor which "gets old" real fast... he seems to have an unhealthy obsession with toes--of which of mine he made many comments about--none of were medical related...plain weird (& unprofessional perhaps..) he's too quick to anticipate what you're going to say & has pretty much made his mind up BEFORE hearing what your concerns are! Frustrating! His front office staff was very quick to dismiss a situation that occurred that really needed attention (not ER type of attention but still warranted a phone call back)--Doctor didn't call me back for 2.5 days. They flat out refused to even try to book an appointment for me. I was his patient for almost two years before I finally had enough. Perhaps the clincher for me was when I needed to have my pacemaker replaced. "Routine" procedure turned into a nightmare...incompetent at the very least & entirely poor treatment received! I would never recommend him or his practice to anyone! **Only two positives: 1) his assistant Karen is awesome & entirely caring & compassionate! 2) gentleman who does the echocardiogram is totally professional. Please don't see this guy if you have any heart concerns/issues...there are many other choices of competent cardiologists out there!!

I received a referral to see Jeffrey Thompson. I have had a fairly severe arrhythmia and had spent…read morethousands of dollars last year to have a 3D echocardiogram, Holter monitor and other tests, as well as purchased my own monitor so I have dozens of multi-hour ECGs with AI analysis to show my history. When I spoke with his office to schedule an appointment, I was told I needed to re-take the echocardiogram and Holter monitor because they were over 6 months old, despite the fact that it doesn't make sense for the echocardiogram and I have have more than a dozen monitoring periods over the past 6 months already. Because I was unwilling to spend thousands of dollars on useless tests that have nothing to do with what I need from a cardiologist right now, I was told that he would not see me. This is utterly absurd and insulting.

He explained everything well and answered all of my questions. He even let me know that it's difficult to find a pcp here in ma. He told me to come back to the er in the meantime if any problems arose (which thankfully I didn't need to) until I found a pcp. He told me to call around for a pcp and to take whatever next available appt was available, which ended up being 4 months later for me. This was my experience, yours could be different from mine.
