In the most polite and professional way I can put it my experience being a patient here was…read morecompletely horrendous. I live two hours away and I've chosen here despite the commute because there is no medical center near me that gives the treatment I need so I am, for lack of a better term, downright desperate. After having a prescription given to me almost a year ago, I have been calling for MONTHS to get it authorized by the doctor I saw and nothing productive has happened. Nothing. I've been hung up on twice before, I've been bounced between two offices multiple times to try and reschedule an appointment, I have stated the urgency of how I need what I am there for and still nothing has been done. My experience here has been disgustingly bad and I would urge anyone who is looking for this as a possibility to try other options because it is abhorrent how hard it is to get anything accomplished here. And this isn't even coming from just a solely outside view, I am in the medical field myself. I am extremely disappointed.

My doctor was great. No complaints there…read more My co-payment was $30. I paid it with a credit card (I tried to give them cash, but they don't accept it). Days later I had remembered I had a Health Savings Account debit card. I decided to call Billing, have them refund the $30 on my credit card and charge the HSA debit instead. The transaction seemed easy. Come to find out, they never refunded the $30 on my credit card, and instead of withdrawing $30 on my debit card, they withdrew $200. I've been calling and using the portal for two weeks - simply requesting Billing to call me. The folks on the portal said Billing would call, but they haven't. Two weeks of silence. My only recourse was to file a report with the Beverly Police Dept. They'll follow up with the NSPG or the Salem Court will. An abysmal experience. If anyone has Scott Sperling (Mass General Brigham, Chair) and/or Anne Klibanski (Mass General Brigham, CEO) contact info....please share it. I want them to know my experience.

Insurance process was easy as well. Someone came to me instead of me having to go to another desk. I was moved to a quiet single room on 5th floor . My nurse Elyse was AMAZING. very kind and personable. The doctor situation was not as wonderful. I was only seen 1 time in the 32 hours I was there and I had to really push to get the doctor to come to my room. She seemed unfamiliar with my chart/case even though I had been there all that time. Didn't leave me with a good feeling.. I'm giving 4 stars because the nurses are the stars!!!!!! wish I could give 5 but not one for the doctor. Sorry.

He evaluated my dad whose residence in an Assisted Living was being challenged. I was surprised to find a doctor who wasn't shy to do the right thing by his patients. The first doctor I ever visited who has a sign on the office door which reads: "Drug Company Representatives, DO NOT ENTER". I have personally thrown drug company reps out of a doctors office, when they wanted to see the doctor prior to me. Then I apologized to the doctor for misbehaving. The doctor stood up, shook my hand, and asked me how I did that, because he had tried to do that for years. Well, doc, I told them I would write to the CEO of Lilly and the FDA, making a complaint about their marketing practices interfering with patient care and how they don't care about the public in treatment. I also let some stuff spill out of my mouth from my diamond turned titanium tongue, I don't really remember the exact words, but I got in the rep's face and didn't stop until she was out of you waiting room door. Doc, just have them wait until you are done with your patients. They won't stay until you are available. You could also have me stand sentry.

I've been going to Dr. Ellis at Family medicine for about 6 years now, and this office has very…read morenice doctors, nurses, and administrative staff. I believe they are all affiliated with Beverly Hospital and that network. They always call to remind me of my scheduled appointments the day before they occur, in case you need to reschedule, the staff is very quick at responding when you call with a question or need to get a referral or documents sent to a specialist, and they dont leave you waiting around forever. Scheduling physicals are a little annoying, as you cant get one immediately, the appointments are usually a few weeks to a month from when you call (unless you schedule one for a year from the day you come in for one. Although, if you are sick, they will see you immediately - the same day, unless you call late in the afternoon, then they will have you come in the next morning. My doctor is very good about checking in with me about my health, progress in weight loss, nutrition, or other concerns, and when i had my pap done, letting me know about various womens health solutions available (birth control etc). I recently had a medical emergency and the office consistently called me to make sure i was ok, and to follow up on appointments with specialists to see their diagnosis. It was not cumbersome or confusing since the staff always gave me referrals to doctors who accepted my health insurance and were local. I've seen patients of all ages here. If you need a new primary care physician who looks out for you and is great at giving you important health info (not simplistic, condescending statements), Family Medicine is a great office to go to.

Then I met Dr Derby, I can't tell you in to many words how wonderful he is . The second time I was admitted to the hospital I got to meet him. He came to see me every day I was at the hospital. His bedside manner was so awesome . He made me feel really special, by reassuring me, of treating me like I was a family member of his. He is excellent, and I'm almost glad , that I was hospitalized twice in that short a time. I would probably not have met him otherwise. Since my hospitalizations, I've seen him once at the doctors office. I'd recommend him to anyone. He impressed me so much.
