I love Dr Hummel and his NP Ashley. I have been going to Dr…read moreHummell's office since 2016. Dr Hummel diagnosed me with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome to the right side of my neck, my right shoulder, arm and hand. Dr Hummel has been working with me with pain management and I am so glad I was referred to see Dr Hummel. I was in a lot of pain, Dr Hummel has helped me manage my pain. He introduced me to a spinal cord stimulator, after the trial I wanted to keep the trial stimulator because it helped me by lowering the amount of pain I had. There is no cure for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome...I know I can count on Dr Hummel and his NP Ashley to help me manage my pain.

Due to traffic, I was 10 minutes late and he wouldn't see me. I, too, was upset. But I realized that others were waiting to use the procedure room I was supposed to be in, and it had been passed on since I was late. I haven't been late since! But, after 11 years, he's STILL the best around, in my opinion. I hear so many times from family and friends of doctors who aren't helping them. I always refer them to Dr. Hummel. After all these years, he still takes the time to talk with me and find out how I'm managing my pain. I was in the hospital for knee replacement surgery, and THAT doctor left me in pain for 7 hours! When he finally got the meds changed, one nurse read the order wrong, and was refusing to give it to me! THAT'S a bad pain doctor! I'll never switch from Dr. Hummel.

I am pretty sure I will not need surgery and that's a huge relief! When I walked in there several weeks ago, I was limping, barely able to walk, and had to be driven there. I was in such bad shape that I would wake up crying in pain. From there, I am now mostly pain-free and I've regained the mobility I had lost in my left leg. Also, the front desk staff, nurses and medical assistants (not sure of all the proper titles) are all really nice people. I particularly enjoyed the upbeat attitude of the red-headed lady who did my intake - wish I had remembered her name. It is very easy to get an appointment, and you don't sit around waiting for a long time. The waiting room is small but has nice magazines and a TV, and the facility has parking, which is important! I found it convenient to drive to and locate the facility, which is right in a cute part of Wellesley near the Quebrada bakery. The doctor is an empathetic person who took time with me to understand my problems, gave me the appropriate treatment that has helped me go back to "living life", and answered all of my questions. I just feel very lucky to have been recommended to this place and now I'm recommending it to you! (if you need such things, but then you wouldn't be looking at this review if you didn't think you might need some medical intervention.)

I have a history with Atlas Orthogonal care and was looking for a new practitioner since moving to…read moreMassachusetts. I was told to bring in my X-rays from 2020, patient notes from my NC doctor along with the measurements for my specific case. I had been experiencing headaches and nausea so this is what alerted me to know my atlas was off and needed adjusting. I waiting 6 weeks for a New Patient appointment, brought the hard copies of all the information requested. Here are the PROS and CONS of my experience. PROS: Location of office easy to get to/ Parking is plentiful. CONS: Doctor took me 25 minutes late for my 1st appointment after being urged to arrive early to complete paperwork/ Dr. Dolan disputed my medical history of having "ruptured discs" in my cervical spine...saying they couldn't be ruptured despite the MRI saying they were herniated / During his new patient exam (within 5 minutes of my running shoes being taken off) he tried to sell me the orthotics he sells..saying my "type" of foot would lead to knee and hip issues without having them / After the new patient exam, reviewing my X-rays and Orthogonal Measurements from my previous doctor...he informed me he still needed more information and asked me to call my NC doctor. The end result is that I paid $165 for a new patient exam which consisted of him measuring my leg length, having me touch my toes, lift and lower my chin and then him feeling around on the back of my skull and neck. He wanted more information from my NC doctor, but after talking with them on the phone a few days later, still decided he needed me to come in for him to take all new X-rays (3 x $65) + a follow up X-ray ($65) post my first adjustment. I have seen 2 other Atlas Orthogonal doctors and have never experienced so much delay and uncertainty. Sadly, I have decided to continue flying back to NC to get my tune ups when needed, rather than trust my care to Dr. Dolan who made me feel like he only wanted to charge me for more things, didn't value my time and only valued his way/opinion. Best of luck if you need Atlas Orthogonal care. I would have given ZERO stars is possible and do not recommend anyone to this practice.

I'm honestly not someone who usually writes reviews, but my experience with Marisa has been so…read moreimpactful that I felt like I had to share. I drive over an hour each way to see her and it's been so worth it. I originally went to see Marisa for extreme anxiety and ongoing sleep issues, after trying what felt like every modality out there: somatic exercises, journaling, therapy, BIT, meditation, breath-work...you name it. While many of those helped in their own ways, nothing truly moved the needle for me the way hypnoacupuncture with Marisa has. From my very first session, there was an obvious shift. Even the people around me noticed. After that first session, the tension in my shoulders decreased, and the only way I can describe it is that everything (physically & mentally) felt like it had been taken down a notch. Since working with her, my sleep has completely transformed. I went from having an extremely hard time falling asleep and waking up almost every hour, to now pretty much sleeping through the night. If I do wake up, I can fall back asleep easily, and I'm even dreaming a lot which I take as a sign I'm finally getting deep, restful sleep. I've seen such drastic improvements that I genuinely feel like I have a new baseline. I feel so much more in control of my anxiety now and honestly like a completely different person than I was just a few months ago. It's been truly life changing. I honestly wish I could see her weekly. The closest way I can describe how you feel leaving a session is like you just had a massage; you're so relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Marisa has truly touched my life. She is genuinely an angel. She listens, she cares deeply, and she is incredibly dedicated to her clients. If she doesn't have an answer right away, she always follows up, whether by email or the next time you see her, which says so much about the level of thought and attention she gives. I don't feel comfortable around many people, but there's something about her energy that is so light and reassuring. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment, and it makes all the difference. I'm so grateful to have found her and truly can't recommend her enough.

But every day I feel grateful for the fact that the Elliot Lewis Center is in my area and that their unbelievable staff is in my corner. I've been a patient of Dr. Joshua Katz since I was first diagnosed with MS, and he's everything you want a doctor to be. He's one of the most intelligent people I know, but he's not afraid to say "I don't know" and to consult with colleagues and literature to get more information for you. As I write this, he's in Stockholm at the ECTRIMS congress to learn about the latest MS research and developments, and he's sharing updates with ELC patients on their Facebook page. He's hosted live online Q&As for patients, and it seems that whenever I email him with a question or concern, I have a response within an hour or two--even on weekends. And Dr. Katz is just one member of the team at the ELC! I've never met a patient of Dr. Ellen Lathi who isn't breathlessly praising her performance. I had my first appointment with Dr. Kenneth Gorson last week for intramuscular Botox injections, and I was so impressed by his ability to understand and address my movement issues. Their other staff members--from the reception desk to the infusion room--are so helpful and efficient that I actually enjoy days spent there hooked up to an IV. I'd be remiss not to mention the contributions of Jackson and Tiger, the very sweet ELC service dogs/mascots. I've met people who drive hours to get their treatment at the Elliot Lewis Center. If you make an appointment here I'm sure you'll see why!
