My first experience with Atrius health was in Medford with Dr. Ion. I felt right off the bat that…read moreshe was looking to just cross me off her list and move onto the next patient. I did not feel like she had any genuine care about the issues that I had and didn't go into any detail on fixing them. We decided to do physical therapy with one issue which I found out later They don't have any physical therapist for me. The second issue, she just prescribed what I was already getting which I found out later that I should stop taking because of the issues it was doing to my skin. Basically this was a complete waste of time and I will be staying away from this office. I would recommend staying away from Dr. Ion at least and looking somewhere else.

The equipment malfunctioned repeatedly, the resident didn't seem to know what he was doing and Dr. Heffess did not instruct him. The tech and 2 doctors kept going to the corner to whisper about getting the machine to work and try different ways to fix i. They seemed reluctant to report the malfunctioning equipment, because they have called repeatedly and, according to a staff member, "nothing ever happens. If they send someone to fix it, they don't know what they're doing. It's an old machine and these young guys don't know how to fix it." Heffess should have stopped the procedure; he couldn't even get an image of my shoulder post-procedure. It's written in my medical record that the machine malfunctioned, so they weren't able to get an image. When I complained to the hospital, they denied that there was a problem.

I was forced to see an incompetent nurse who seemed overwhelmed and uninterested in my concerns…read more When I requested to see a doctor for a thorough evaluation, my request was outright refused without any explanation. I was left sitting in a crowded hallway for three hours, surrounded by other patients, feeling neglected and anxious. Despite my well-documented disability, they denied me the standard care and reasonable accommodations I clearly needed. This lack of attention and care compelled me to file a formal complaint with the hospital administration. After months of back-and-forth communication and following up on my complaint, I was shocked to receive notice that I had been sent to collections for an appointment that was essentially useless. This hospital, which used to be known for its excellent patient care, has fallen into decline. The actions of the Governor, allowing the hospital to reduce staff significantly, have led to a system that feels more like a scam. Now, patients are met with overworked and rude nurses, and the limited availability of medical staff means only one doctor is on duty as a supervisor. The overall experience has been incredibly frustrating and disheartening, leaving me feeling abandoned when I needed care the most.

They go WAY above and beyond. Any one would be lucky to get their care there.

If I could give zero stars to MinuteClinic I would. I took my toddler to the MinuteClinic because…read morehe had recent onset flu-like symptoms and I didn't want to wait at a real urgent care or ED. The NP at the MinuteClinic told me my kid didn't need a flu test, but after my insistence (I am a physician myself and was sure he had the flu), the NP finally gave in. The flu test was indeed positive for the influenza B strain and it was early enough in my son's course for him to benefit from Tamiflu. They took my insurance and had me pay my copay. Everything seemed okay, right? 3 weeks later I get a bill of $170 despite my insurance, including an incorrect double charge for the rapid flu test. I figure, not a problem, I will call billing and get this straightened out. Here is where MinuteClinic needs to be investigated by the media and legislators, because it is impossible to reach a human being on their only customer service line at 1-866-389-2727. I waited 2 hours, only to be hung up. The next day, I call again, and immediately the transfer to billing goes straight to voicemail (!). I leave a message and was never called back. I try again the next week and the same thing happens. I can't for the life of me reach a human being despite asking for billing, customer service, supervisor, etc etc. Worst still is two months later, I get a third-party collections notice for this bill. It too has the same number for me to call to resolve the bill 1-866-389-2727. I still can't reach a human being to this day. I can only gather that this is done intentionally so that when patients receive a collections bill and cannot reach any human to resolve legitimate issues with the bill, we then are forced to pay the bill in full so as not to hurt our credit scores. Even trying to pay the bill took 1 hour of waiting on the phone. This is a disgrace and should be illegal. Never again will I go to or recommend any of my patients to go to MinuteClinic for the convenience. You will pay for it later in the sheer frustration of being unable to resolve a legitimate billing issue with a real human being and taken to collections anyway.
