I was trying to get vaccinations and medication for my trip to south America and his suggestions for the following medications were: Typhoid: You really aren't going to need it but I guess we can do it. Altitude medication: Just make sure you stay hydrated (I was going to 12,500 feet) Yellow fever: bullied me into getting a flu shot instead. Malaria: Said I was at no risk. (I was going into the amazon for 2.5 days) Luckily I was able to get into another dr for malaria in time otherwise I'd be pissed. The reason for the two stars is because the nurses were wonderful women who made it one of the more pleasant times I've gotten shots before.

The WORST experience I've had with a doctor…read more He messed up on his medical coding which resulted in my being charged an extra ~$400. There were things that were covered by my insurance, but because he was obviously trying to get extra money out of me and billed incorrectly, these things ended up not being covered. If he billed correctly, my insurance would have covered it rather than the bill going to me instead. For example, he charged me for 2 visits rather than one because he ran over -- I did not ask for him to go so slow. And then he linked my annual blood work to that random office visit, it ended up where my insurance wouldn't cover it. I gave them a benefit of a doubt, so I called them and they were extremely rude! I even had a Steward rep call them with me, and his staff said I was wrong and hung up on both of us. It took me over 6 months to get this resolved! However, it shouldn't have required that much effort to fix something on their end. And their behavior was completely unacceptable. I would stay away from this place. He's obviously up to some shady work.

However, she spent most of the session concerned with my BMI (mostly ignoring my poor mental health, the pandemic, and despite acknowledging my active lifestyle including lifting). She relies on outdated science, telling me to not eat eggs because of the cholesterol, even though that has been debunked for several years now. After body shaming me, she THEN asked if I had a history of eating disorders. If you're completely healthy she's probably fine, but overall it was the worst experience I've had at Harvard Vanguard. She is an older doctor, which unfortunately should have been the first sign despite the ethical obligation to remain updated on new science.

I don't think I will not change to other primary doctors anymore. Compare to other primary physicians, she really pays attentions to me and I am very please with her kindness. The other day, I had a question about over the counter medication, so I send an email to her and she called me back within 15 min or so after I send an email. It was actually Dr. Wagner who called me back instead of N.P. I thought that was very nice of her and I was glad with her quick response. I also just had my annual check up and she spend good 45min with me and all the exam was done very professionally. She asked many questions about my health. Beside, we also had few personal conversation here and there. I thought that was very nice too. If you are looking for a primary doctor who can be personal, she is the one!

All reminds me of my doctor in Puerto Rico, where any concept of scheduled appointments is for show only and there is no structure to anything.

It was impossible to even make an appointment, they put you on hold for over an hour and 1/2 The secretary told me that it's not their problem If l'm sick and not able to wait for that amount of time even after just being discharged from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Thoracic Surgical Floor from having a Total Gastrectomy and Jujunostomy, I'm not able to eat for the rest of my life.

My initial impression of Dr. Holtzman during my first and only exam on 10/28/24 was not an…read moreentirely positive one. I found his non-medical questions about my personal life unnecessarily intrusive. (I'd already been asked and answered a couple of those questions online as part of the required Zocdoc new patient intake by his office.) One of these was "What is your sexual orientation?" As with Zocdoc, I told him I was straight. He replied with a smile: "Maybe a straight guy who also sleeps with men?" (I believe his precise words were "Heterosexual meaning you like just women, or women and men?") Which left me slack-jawed. A couple unspoken thoughts crossed my mind in quick succession: "Huh? Wouldn't such a guy be a bisexual?" Followed by a recognition of his obvious insinuation, which I found as unprofessional as it was inaccurate. It may be appropriate for a physician to ask a patient's sexual orientation today (I'm 71), but hardly professional to suggest a different orientation to the patient. His next question was "When did you last have sex?" despite the fact that I came to this first office visit presenting no complaints, let alone symptoms, that might suggest an STD or anything else of a sexual nature. Frankly, I had to wonder what the dude's agenda was. He insisted on giving me a referal to his dermatologist colleague, despite my telling him I had seen two dermatologists ---working together--less than a year earlier as a part of the excision of a couple benign facial blemishes. Then when the results of my Qwest lab bloodwork of a week later came back, liver enzymes AST and ALT in my blood were abnormally high, so I messaged him for his interpretation. Unlike my previous PCPs, who would offer a brief interpretation via their patient portals, his terse response was: "See me." Which I interpreted as another office visit. Fortunately, I subsequnetly remembered that I had taken large doses of acetaminophen at the time of the blood draws due to cold symptoms, which temporarily elevates these enzymes' levels. (Mystery solved and money saved.) But I noted his attempt to turn my simple portal inquiry into a billable office visit, not (in fairness to him) unusual in today's profit-focused US medical industry. As physician/author Elizabeth Rosenthal has written: "The 'first do no harm' directive has been replaced with 'first leave no money on the table' ". In the year that followed, he cooperatively issued for me two gastroenterologist referrals with a recommendation for a colonoscopy, (although I should note that the first referral was for a gastroenterologist conncted to a facility from which a hospital approved post-sedated procedure ride home was unavailable to me, which limitation I had made very clear to him during the 10/2024 exam, thus the need for the second referral. In summary, I had no reason to question Dr. Holtzman's overall medical competence, but also no desire to remain in his practice.

Coming from East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, I am convinced that the quality of care is better in centers where it is not only the doctors caring for the patients, but every single person you encounter in the clinic. Time and again, I have had positive experiences there, getting courteous and efficient help for my needs, but at this local family practice in the rich town of Belmont, shockingly low level of care from the front staff.

Unprofessional all around. Ultimately I'm glad I'm not going to be a patient of Dr. McCowan because her behavior in this non-clinical situation speaks poorly to what the experience of being her patient would be like. EDIT: After I published my review on Google, the practice manager responded by describing it as "slander." That is not only very unprofessional , but it is also FALSE. In order for something to be slanderous, it must be not true. I would ask for them to specify what was misrepresented or be more careful about the verbiage they use.
