When I asked when I could have another appointment they told me 4 weeks from now, which I considered outrageous.

They have snacks, coffee, and the office is super clean. The staff is super friendly. I just feel like, as someone who can barely put any weight on her foot, and then pain is so bad that I can't sleep, that this is not considered urgent and therefore it gets canceled.

The pain was excruciating, and continued to get worse over time. One of my colleagues who was seriously injured in a surfing incident a year earlier, that basically destroyed his shoulder (broken bones etc) had been treated by Dr. Tim Hartshorn, and recovered completely recommended that I go see him. I did, and I IMMEDIATELY knew I was in the right place, with the right doctor. Ultimately, I required surgery to repair my shoulder, but prior to actually scheduling surgery, I needed to finish out the work season on light duty. Dr. Hartshorn gave me direct steroid injections to the shoulder joint over the course of the next few months to get me through the rest of that season. At the end of the season, I went in for surgery in the morning, and was back home that afternoon. Almost immediately, Dr. Hartshorn had me on a physical therapy routine that got me moving my newly repaired shoulder in short order. Over the course of the next several weeks, the pain subsided, my range of motion returned as I continued physical therapy, and in less than 3 months, I was back at work with no restrictions. What you need to understand is that prior to seeing Dr. Hartshorn, I could not even hold a coffee cup in my left hand without serious pain. The act of threading a belt through my pant loops required assistance from my wife. Sleeping was nearly impossible and I was a wreck due to lack of sleep. Surgery takes time to fully heal from, and I knew that going in. It also takes commitment by you, to do the exercises, and range of motion stretches prescribed by your physical therapist or doctor. If you don't do that, you will not recover completely. I knew that going in as well. Dr. Hartshorn made sure I knew that this was not going to be easy, or fun, but it (the PT and stretchers) was absolutely necessary for fast recovery and the best possible outcome. Without question or reservation of any kind, I can absolutely say that if you are reading this because you have injured your shoulder, and are at the point where a solution other than you just "roughing it out" is necessary, and you have found Dr. Tim Hartshorn, Your are one fortunate individual. It is my belief that you will NOT find a better physician, surgeon or human being than Dr. Tim Hartshorn. Congratulations, and rest easy. You are in the right place. For those wondering why, 2+ years later I might be here writing a review for Dr. Hartshorn, it is really simple. I have since injured my other shoulder, and have been in the care of a doctor who was prescribed by workers comp out here in California. I am miserable, I require surgery and I decided to reach out to Dr. Hartshorn to see if he would be willing to look at my MRI and perhaps give me a recommendation for surgeons he personally knows and would comfortably recommend out here in Cali. Well, being the rock star that he is, as I mentioned in my first paragraph, Dr. Hartshorn called me directly himself. Not his staff, or some mouth piece like I would have expected to hear from out here, but he himself. I was actually not surprised to be honest, because that is the kind of doctor Tim Hartshorn is. Like I said Boston, consider yourselves VERY fortunate to have this guy in your wheel house. It does not get any better than him. I wish you well on your treatment and recovery, but have no doubt that you will be just fine. THANK YOU Dr. Hartshorn. THANK YOU.

I was referred to a doctor named Miegel which might as well have been Mengele. He ordered a deep tissue cortisone shot that are supposed to last for six months. When I came back two weeks later as if I had never gotten the shot at all, I told him and he simply said "well, your not getting another shot so you may as well take two Advil a day and come back when your 50," I was too taken aback to say anything. So my dad and a number of people mentioned Newton Wellesley. From the moment I walked in the door I felt like their number one priority. Dr Laurie Katz was my first Doc who asked me what was up, I told her severe arthritis. She kind of said "okay" with some apropos sarcasm. She came back with her X-rays and turned ghost white "I thought you were kidding or got something from webMD, but this is bad. I haven't seen arthritis this bad in a long time. She immediately put me in touch with a surgeon in her group, Dr Hanmer. They decided to try another cortisone shot-because these hips don't last forever-one more time being SO young for a hip. Well, 6 days later and the pain was back. The shot did work for few days and I psyched, going up stairs without a railing or run out into the street to get a child out of danger but alas, 6 days instead months, they scheduled my surgery a moth later. It was a four hour procedure, I was out the WHOLE time. I don't want to get people's hopes up, and part of it is because I'm 34, the surgery was Wed June 3, they had me on a walker the morning of Thurs June 4th. Later that day, they gave me crutches to walk with, at the end of the walk she had me going up and down stairs! I was out of their the next morning. A lot of follow up visits, but I feel great and would recommend it to Newton Wellesley orthopedics to anyone: from beside manner; to food.

Update: The office responded insisting that they follow all EEOC requirements and do not discriminate. As an HR and Recruiting Director, I know exactly how easy is for hiring managers to skew their decisions to hire exactly whom they want regardless of any office policy of antidiscrimination. 10 male doctors and not a single female doctor is almost impossible unless intentional.
