It is too bad that I could not give zero stars. I went in on a Thursday afternoon after being told…read moreby Lawrence General Hospital that I didn't have a broken foot instead of head arthritis. I saw Dr. Amin. She looked at my foot, probably took about five minutes with me and sent a prescription to my local CVS and told me to pick it up and come back in 10 days. That afternoon CVS contacted me saying they could not fill that prescription but they were contacting the doctor for a different prescrition. Friday morning I called tried to talk with the doctor and was told she was off that day. I finally got a callback from the office - not the doctor Tuesday afternoon and they said well just pick up the over-the-counter product. I told him I was very dissatisfied and wanted to speak with the doctor. I canceled my follow up appointment for obvious reasons and I have yet to hear from the doctor. Spent about eight weeks. I told him to do not dare send me a bill for their lack of services. today I got a bill copayment $10. They apparently sent it into the insurance company for the major portion of bill and have been paid or will be paid by them. Very very dissatisfied would not recommend us to a dog.

I am shocked people haven't written more reviews on this place tbh…read more... I went here because I saw a good review on google....I was not disappointed. The staff was amazing, I have anxiety, a lot of it, and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. They bore my requests with passion and professionalism. I have so much anxiety I asked for water and a wet towel lol...and they provided it within seconds...Great staff! Helped me through a lot and offered to keep refreshing my cold towel...and you might not think that means anything, but that means a lot to me! Everything went smooth and I was blown away by my doctor! He texted me on a SUNDAY night to ask me how I was doing. I have never had a DR do that in my 35 years of life. He gave me tips and kept telling me to bother him ANY TIME even in the early AM....where do you get support like that? The office seems a bit outdated and concerning when you walk in, I am not sugar coating that....but in a few minutes, you will realize, you are in the best place for your foot care...HANDS DOWN! If I need any other foot operation, it will definitely be here! I told my dad who also has the same condition as me, and he's ready to come here lol. Anyway, this is the best place for foot care around, friend staff, low prices, ultimate care...great doctors and friendly nurses/staff

It's hard to believe that someone who is supposed to be in care for others could be like this. But…read moreit is true. I was also there and experienced a lot of what was said in the other reviews. I was trying to forget about the experience until the bill for 30 min wait and a 5-10 min visit showed up. I knew in minute one that this was not going to be good. I wanted to walk out, but aggressive sales tactics made me have to say I think we are done now. The bill is the normal $50 for co pay and technically I have to pay it I guess, but feel like it was a life lesson that I wont repeat. I feel bad for the insurance company that they have to pay the amount she charges. Staff at front desk mimicked her uncaring cold treatment of patients

I recommend the surgeons at Orthopedic Associated of North Chelmsford, MA. As a retired RN with…read moreO.R. experience, I tend to be very critical of surgeons. Since 2019, I've had several procedures to alleviate the pain of osteoarthritis. First, a left rotator cuff repair then, in the fall, a left knee replacement, by Dr. Scott Sigman. High praise for him and his team. I had minimal post op pain and was walking the day of surgery. Several years later I had the pleasure of bilateral hip replacements, 1 yr apart, by Dr. Stephen Designa. Again, minimal post op discomfort and, with physical therapy, return to normal with no more pain. And such tiny incisions--I can barely see them! Thank you and bless you, Dr. Designa. Now, in 2026 I'm back for more magic, seeing Dr. Howard Wu for bilateral shoulder arthritis . He is urging me to have the surgeries, first the left which is giving me the most discomfort and limited range of motion, then, after a time, the right. But, since I'm elderly and also caring for my disabled husband, I've been putting it off. He's right,of course, I need them ,and I'm not afraid but he listens to me and, I think, understands. It's comforting to know that, when I'm ready, he'll do his best to give me real golden years. We baby boomers are lucky. Modern technology and talented surgeons. Replace the old, worn out joints and we'll feel better. Maria S, Lowell, MA August 2026

Dr. Steven Alter never denied my requests for out-of-work notes, and I appreciate that. I did not…read morehave surgery with him, so I can't comment on his surgical skills or outcomes. From my experience, I felt his bedside manner could be better. I often left feeling like my injury and concerns were being minimized and that I wasn't being fully heard. My impression is that he has a very direct, surgeon-focused approach, which may work well for some patients but wasn't the best fit for me. I can't say he's a bad doctor. However, beyond providing me with time off from work, I don't feel much was done to fully evaluate all of my complaints. For example, I never received comprehensive strength testing for the various issues I reported. One thing that also concerned me was that the office seemed to use a standard template in the medical notes. Some of the statements about my care did not accurately reflect what occurred during my visits, which I found frustrating. I've also spoken with three other people who were not particularly happy with their experiences when I mentioned Dr. Alter. Of course, that's anecdotal, and it doesn't mean he isn't an excellent surgeon. This review is simply my personal experience as a patient. I will say Amanda the medical receptionist was great, every request I asked for, she promptly responded to me with the information I needed.

I was given a 2 week follow up , again on time and seen by the same Dr Johnson . I was reexamined and he checked out the injury , flexing and moving my ankle in different positions. and actually demonstrated exercises to help stretch out my foot and ankle. I no longer need appointments as I can walk but just need to stretch and wear air cast if needed for stability. So thankful not a serious issue.
