They used the hearing test that I had recently had and took care of billing the insurance company so I didn't have to. They explained ahead of time that insrance companies can take a while to process the claim. When the insurance company didn't pay correctly, the front office took care of fighting them for the correct amount. The specialist, Nancy, was great. I went back several times and she spent alot of time with me every visit. You can tell she cares about hearing. I will definitely recommend Nancy and her office to my friends.

Tobias & Battite Review…read more From the minute Roberta answered the phone and scheduled my first appointment, I knew I was at the right place. Efficient and friendly with a good sense of humor, a quality I value; Roberta owns the face of Tobias & Battite. I couldn't be happier with Dr. Halie Paperno, the audiologist I see. Dr. Paperno's consultation was thorough - from the hearing test, the mapping of ear my canals, explanation of state-of-the-art products through to the insurance coverage (I'm covered, Yay!) Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout-out to Miles, extern extraordinaire. If you are looking for hearing care specialists, look no further than Tobias & Battite.

Review for Atlantic Hearing Care, Inc - Swampscott, MA By…read moreCarl Christie - Nahant, MA I'd like to share my experience with Atlantic Hearing Care, Inc at 990 Paradise Rd, Suite 3A, Swampscott, MA--especially with Dr. Taylor Chabot, Au.D. Taylor is exceptionally knowledgeable, educated, and experienced across all aspects of audiology. She understands both the unique challenges her patients face and the wide range of hearing equipment options available, including the subtle differences between specific devices. Taylor is kind, patient, and friendly, and it's clear that she genuinely enjoys her work--helping people improve their quality of life through better hearing. I also had a very positive experience with Atlantic's newer audiologist, who was professional and attentive throughout my visits. Finally, I'd like to recognize Karen Tracchia, Patient Care Coordinator, who was always welcoming and upbeat. Her friendly energy made each visit a pleasure from the moment I walked through the door. As I continue my audiology journey, Atlantic Hearing Care will certainly remain an important part of it. Respectfully, Carl Christie Nahant, MA

As I started moving into my 40's I realized I needed to take my health a lot more seriously than I…read morehave been when I was younger. I signed up with Gold Direct Care after I heard about what Dr Gold was doing. I was drawn towards the idea of having a doctor who will spend as much time addressing my concerns as necessary. I have been pretty disappointed with 10 minute consultations with previous doctors who don't have time to listen and never really get down to the root of the problem. I got the feeling that they have to make a very quick decision and hope for the best. Try this, take that, come see me again in 6 months. I realized that I have to take my health seriously. Good health is one of the most precious things we have. I made a clear and conscious decision that I do not want to be part of the herd anymore. I wanted a doctor who I have access to. I wanted a doctor who truly cares and who knows me, and I wanted a doctor who had the time to do his job properly with my best interests at heart. I have been with Dr Gold since he started his Direct Primary Care practice, and I am completely satisfied. My first consultation was over an hour. I send him emails which he responds to right away. I have his cell number and I have 24 hour access if I should need it. (Not that I think I will, but it is a comforting thought.) I had a chronic health issue for quite some time, and nobody has been able to get it under control. With Dr Gold's care he had it taken care of within the first month. We spoke often and tried different prescriptions. He consulted with other specialists and before long had the whole situation under control and everything back to normal. I did not get kicked around from one specialist to another, from one test to the next. In the end it was his direct pragmatic approach that solved a complicated situation without having to send me in for a complete "refit". It is also a pleasure to work with him. He has a great sense of humor and a nice personality. It feels like you are talking to an old friend, which takes the anxiety out of visiting the doctor. If anyone is on the fence on whether this is a good fit for them, take it from me, you will definitely not be disappointed. If you take your health seriously, this is a smart investment. Investing in your health is investing in yourself and your future. Dr Gold practices modern medicine with a traditional approach. Everybody wins! I can't recommend it highly enough.

I would have given a five star review until Dr. Mancini terminated me (a 69 year old woman with…read moreunderlying conditions) as a patient during the pandemic without even the courtesy of a phone call. I was a long time patient of Dr. Mancini. It is a concierge practice and I paid for the care of a doctor. When she went on maternity leave I wished all the best for her. I was not happy to find that she hired a nurse practitioner to cover for her rather than a doctor. I had excruciating pain on my left side near my rib. I did get an in person appointment and she said I had a bruised rib. She said I could get an x-ray. She called to say the x-ray showed an enlarged spleen. I was concerned and saw the nurse practitioner who sent me to the emergency room "in case my spleen exploded or something." Luckily I went to the emergency room where I was diagnosed with Costochondritis - a muscle problem that causes extreme pain. This should have been obvious since I have chronic muscle pain. My chiropractor in NYC, bless him, knew exactly what it was and how I got it and has made the pain lessen considerable. I went back because the nurse practitioner wanted more blood tests. She called to tell me that something was high. I asked if I could call to discuss the blood tests. She said no. I decided to get a complete exam in NYC (I live in NYC and in MA). Turns out is normal for the spleen to enlarge slightly when the body is under stress as it is sending out more white cells. My bone density is good and all my pain is muscular. My heart is good. I have lost 40 lbs and gotten my sugar down from 11 to 7.5. Still have to get it to 6 - but you would think these would be things a medical practitioner would know and want to share with me. When I asked when Dr. Mancini was returning I was told August 17th. I got this e-mail from her. "Jan, It has been brought to my attention that you have been unsatisfied with the care you have received since my going on maternity leave and were upset by my taking maternity leave in general. I was also made aware that you were verbally abusive, using profanity, towards our office manager. For these reasons I feel it best you find an alternative primary care physician. I am sorry it has come to this, but I feel the doctor-patient relationship has been irreparably damaged. The date of termination is August 1, 2020. - Dr. Mancini No phone call. No response to my e-mail replies. I was unsatisfied with the care I was given because I was misdiagnosed and not given appropriate information. I never was upset by Dr. Mancini taking maternity leave - I wished her all the best. All women need maternity leave. I did use profanity. Walking - in excruciating pain - to the office - I was made to stand outside in the pouring rain when they knew I was there for over 10 minutes. When I came in I said, "No patient deserves to be treated like s**t. I am a human being." I have a Masters in Counseling degree and if a patient of mine who had always been friendly and responsible reacted that way I would view it clinically as a sign of extreme stress (which it was) and would have checked in to see if they were okay. I have been in other medical places during COVID-19 and strict protocols never involve patients being locked out in the rain. I would have lived with all of this because of COVID-19 but the fact that a doctor would terminate a 69 year old patient with medical problems during a pandemic without even the courtesy of a phone call is inexcusable. When I found Elitra Health in NYC I actually cried during my exam because it felt so good to finally have an intelligent, competent team of people caring for my health. Dr. Mancini also prescribed inappropriate medication but that is another story.

I was told to sign off on a blank electronic pad for an "annual patient update" so I could get a…read morecancer test - w/o being told what was in a form that turned out to be 5 pages long (in Sept. 2025) and that stated the patient would "agree to all tests and all treatments for myself and all my dependents" into perpetuity. When asked if I could please just sign off on the cancer test, they said no -- I had to sign off on everything in the (initially undisclosed) document. So I was refused the cancer test. When I asked why I couldn't just sign off on my doctor-ordered test w/o agreeing to all of the above, I was told, "Because that's what the Legal Dept. wants now." So no more "patient-centered" care - but rather "profit-centered" care. Hence - beware. Don't sign blank electronic pads - get the hard copy and read every single line.

I was prescribed a minoxidil topical solution from this office, and it caused a significant…read moreallergic reaction on my scalp. Despite this, both the dermatologist and the medical assistants insisted that the reaction could not have been caused by the product and advised me to resume using it once the irritation cleared. I followed their instructions, and as soon as I reapplied the solution, my scalp broke out in the exact same reaction the very next day. Even after experiencing two identical reactions within four weeks--each occurring immediately after using the topical--everyone I spoke with continued to dismiss the obvious connection and suggested the cause was something else I was doing. It is extremely clear that the reaction was caused by the product they prescribed, yet throughout every conversation, the staff didn't to acknowledge this possibility. The unwillingness to take my concerns seriously was very frustrating.
