A nice woman in Peds made the change and it took only a minute. Candace had repeatedly put me on hold just to tell me to call insurance AGAIN, purposely ignoring me and interrupting me when I repeatedly attempted to tell her that I already called insurance twice (they couldn't help because TRINITY needed to correct a coding on their end). Because of her and other nasty Adult Medicine staff, I had to drive over there to get basic help and it only took someone in the Peds Department a minute. There are plenty of bad reviews on Google about how rude some of the Adult Medicine staff are. I am no longer willing to tolerate it. We shouldn't have to. What ever happened to just doing your job? Don't like that? Healthcare is not for you.

This place is absolutely horrible! You can only make an appointment by my chart if it is working…read more They never answer the phone. No one is nice except for Dr. Malik . Do not see the PA Luciann unless you want to be bullied! My daughter will not go back because she is afraid of her! Luciann misdiagnosed my broken foot and I walked on it until it fused together. I made another appointment, and she was scolding me for not doing my stretches. I went to NEOS , and they couldn't even believe it! Recently went back for neck pain, and she was acting like a drill Sargent! She bashed my dentist for his diagnosis approximately 4 times. She kept throwing question after question at me, and I felt like a child. She stopped and just stares in my face. This lady is horrible, and I have never felt to uncomfortable in my life. She never greets you, never says anything just walks out. If I wasn't in a full panic attack when I left I would of told her off. She absolutely has no respect, or dignity. Shame on Luciann.

I wish there were more than one doctor in the Westboro office who provided general foot care…read more Although very nice, the doctor I saw for a very simple procedure didn't take care of the problem --first time that's ever happened in many years of having the same problem attended to there (by someone different) and elsewhere. I have transportation issues and Worcester is not convenient for me so I'll have to find someone else to attend to this unresolved problem. Frustrating!

First of all, Podiatrist is spelled wrong. That's my first beef, haha…read more It's hard finding a podiatrist that actually knows what they're doing. At least in the Ludlow/Springfield area...because I've been to two and they were both ducks. quack quack. I went in feeling a little skeptical, but there wasn't much of a variety of local foot doctors. Walking in there, the receptionist gave me a dirty look...I don't know, maybe that's just the way her face is. haha, but I said I had an appt and she said the doctor would be out shortly...she seemed very nonchalant. I think it's because I look young, and therefore am clueless. I know this is no one's fault, but the doctor has weird eyes. the whole time he was talking to me, I could sense he was looking at my face, but his eyes were staring at my chest. It makes me feel awkward when people talk to me and don't give me eye contact. I know he probably can't help it but if you're going to deal with people everyday, get corrective eye surgery or something. That might be mean, but isn't a sign that doubtfulness or lying can be correlated with lack of eye contact? Plus, every time I would ask him a question, he seemed very unsure of what he was talking about. He couldn't give me a definite answer. It was more like, "Will you live with an infected toenail? Who's to say?" Doctors are people you should trust...and if they know as much as you, it's like having your friend take a look at your body and hack away. Probably the only thing I liked about the first doctor I went to was that they put a curtain in front of me so I couldn't see the grossness of my toe. This doctor put it all in front of me...but I didn't look. I'd rather not see my toe bleeding, thank you. And he told me I could go to work the next day, when the first doctor told me to stay off my foot for a few days. And my toe isn't completely healed. He seemed surprised that it was getting worse (ahem, you just charged me like 100 dollars to just look at my toe and not do anything to it). There's no pain, but it doesn't look healthy like the other toe. He even made me get bloodwork done but it came back as not infected. Then a week later, he has to operate on it because it got infected? They couldn't tell me why you get an ingrown toenail or ways to prevent it, but I could find out all that information from a pamphlet waiting in the office? He got a lot of plaques and diplomas from colleges which made me feel secure about him, but when I finally had the experience, I was not impressed. A diploma is just a piece of paper saying you graduated, but it doesn't really determine how good you are at what you do. I'm sorry but if you're in Ludlow with foot problems, I'd suggest looking somewhere else. :/

I work in the medical field so I used to how offices treat you like another number; in and out. Hampden Podiatry is completely different. Dr. Vomero was pleasant, talkative and knowledgable. He explained in detail what I should expect and what other alternatives were available. I decided on surgery. I had my right foot done first (in march) and am now recovering from my left. My recoveries have been textbook. I should also add that Dr. Vomero calls you at home to check on you and sits with you before and after the procedure. He gets to know you personally and genuinely cares about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone in need of foot care.

I selected dr Peteros for my bunion surgery after hearing all the positive comments from friends…read moreregarding his professionalism and care. From the moment I walked in his office, he and his staff explained what was happening from X-rays to medications. Dr Peteros explained everything so I could understand my options and helped me with everything. He was amazing and his nurse was also amazing! his follow up care made me feel like I was his only patient. Because of extraneous circumstances, I had to go back to his office several more times. He was overly cautious, but made sure that my foot was perfect before I was finished with him. I'm able to walk now and have no pain whatsoever. Not only do I highly recommend Dr. PeterosI but 3 of my friends are presently using him. You will be in very good hands.
