    It sounds very promising. They care very much for Seniors. So far I just spoke to someone on the…read morephone to make an appointment. I'm looking forward to my office visit. I'm so very happy that l found this Wonderful Medical Center. After I hung up l thanked God for watching over me after having a terrible experience with my former Primary Care Physician. I put up with it for years. 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 Primary Care Physician says that he has nothing to do with Boston since he's not out there even though his name is all over my discharge papers. He said that they just do that. When I mentioned this to my Thoracic Surgeon on my next follow up he couldn't believe it.

    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.

    AVOID if you can. I'm giving only one star because I like my OB-GYN who practiced here. But now…read morethat she's changed offices, I have zero reason to come here again. There's a woman who works at the front desk/answers the phone who is perhaps the rudest person I've ever spoken to. Zero manners. Annoyed, mocking, borderline berating. I called to see if they could pull up a medical release form that I had signed two years ago and transfer my records over to another office, and she insisted that I had never sent them a form. Basically yelling at me over the phone. Front desk staff are a critical component of any healthcare, as they're the first person you see and can set the tone for the rest of the appointment. I would never want someone like her to be in charge of issues like appointments, who to talk to about bills, etc. Absolutely horrendous experience. Plus each time I've come, I've had to wait upwards of at least half an hour to an hour before being seen.

    They literally do not care, and I say this after speaking with several other women who report an…read moreexperience similar to my own. The male receptionist sincerely lacks even a modicum of knowledge involving GYN concerns, he doesn't how to triage problems, he is abrasive, rude, arrogant, disrespectful, angry, he lacks empathy, curiosity, kindness, or even concern. Literally every interaction I have had with him, whether in person or over the phone is distressing. I had my first unpleasant experience with him when I called the office to make my first appointment. I decided to stay with the practice because I thought Anna Keshishyan was fantastic, and I figured my interaction with him would be minimal. Now I understand that he is the gatekeeper of the practice, and one must attempt to get through him in order to get to a provider. There are certain types of support staff who do not belong in healthcare, especially because when a patient is calling a doctor's office, it is usually not because they are having an amazing day and are looking for a sound board for their exhilaration.
