Very bizarre and expensive experience. ( I don't blame anyone but myself for this). I was given the…read more"I am not a doctor" before going into my appointment. However, during my appointment and after listing all my symptoms and how gynecologists have told my I have suspected endometriosis, I was told by Kristine that I don't have that during muscle testing. I was shocked at such a bold statement ONLY because it went against the "I am not a doctor" statement I was told. I convinced myself this woman had a strong intuition until my chronic pelvic pain did not subside from the tinctures I was given. Which ... they weren't supposed to. It was only something western medicine could handle. Here I am two weeks post op with all endometriosis excised from my bladder and deep from my pelvis. So, Yes. I did have that. But the point of this review is that I was told I didn't have something..... when I absolutely did. It did not align with the " I am not a doctor" which I was told twice. If you are not a doctor, then how come I am being told I don't have something? Everything was very speedy and rushed... but I am assuming that is all because routine is the same for every person. Listen to symptoms, muscle test, and send home with 2-3 tinctures/ vitamins. Waiting for the western medicine and natural path world to align and become one instead of being so separate from each other!!! Hopefully one day. I see reviews that this practice is a scam, I think it is in some ways, but for some people (especially when their symptoms are mental, body is low in vitamins, contains parasites, etc. ) it could really help but it seems to be an expensive guessing game that is for sure.

After reading so many 5 star reviews, I was desperate to give this a try, even with the high…read moreinitial price point (approximately $200 for the appointment and homeopathic drops). I have to agree with another recent reviewer that this is a scam. The entire process was strange from start to finish in terms of what she does to check the body energy. None of it makes sense and you can watch her video on Yelp to see what I mean. I have chronic gastritis and came in for help with that. What she found and the drops given did not help me. Actually a very natural remedy did recently, but nothing that was done during this appointment or following. I am not sure how what she does helps people with digestive issues and I don't think she should be advertising that she can help with that. I also don't think she should be ripping people off with such a high initial price point when there are no guarantees and what she does is pretty hard to believe as legitimate. I really wanted this to work but I warn people to not go and use your best judgement. As desperate as you might be, this is too good sounding to be true and effective.

Just had my first appointment and cannot say enough great things about this facility. From my…read morefirst phone call to meeting the Doctor everything went smoothly. I was in serious pain and was seen on the same day I made the call, that in itself is amazing. Upon arrival, the staff was professional and very concerned about my condition. They listened closely as I described my ailment and told me everything that they were doing. When Dr. Blake came in I was very nervous and she recognized my heighten state. She took her time examining me and throughout the process she remained very calm and explained what she was doing. She gave me her diagnosis along with a follow-up treatment plan. The staff then proceeded to take care of all the follow-up appointments needed, from booking my MRI to calling my PCP to get prior approval. That has never happened to me with any other Doctor's office. Usually I'm the one making all the calls. I wish I could give Boston Pain Specialist a perfect 10 but 5 is the highest on Yelp. I totally recommend them if you are looking for caring and professional people.

I have an order from a well renowned doctor requiring I have a specific procedure. When I arrived I was told that they refused to do the procedure.

When I reached out to clarify I was sent a robotic response from a nurse reiterating what was told to me in the office. A huge waste of time, money and resources.

I have been a patient of Dr. Emily Wang for about a year and I have grown extremely comfortable…read morewith her because she is an amazing doctor. I could not recommend her enough. But I was supposed to have a trigger point injection appointment with her on July 30. Write from the beginning When I walked into the appointment in the Reception was blaring music to the point where I couldn't hear her and she could not hear me took about 10 minutes for me to check in And when I finally checked in another 10 minutes for someone to come and get me to take me back originally, I thought it was just a nurse to go over my vitals and what not she then proceeded to tell me that she would be doing my injections with another doctor observing her. I expressed multiple times that my appointment was supposed to be with Dr. Emily Wang and the response I kept getting was well I'm gonna be doing the injections not her. I then proceeded to tell this person that I had questions for Dr. Wang and that my appointment was supposed to be with her. They told me to hold on they would double check. They then came in and said well we're gonna start with the injections and if Dr. Wang has time she will come in and speak with you. I was very uncomfortable with this scenario, but needed the trigger point injections before I leave for a trip because I usually have muscle spasms on airplanes. I proceeded to show the injector where I usually get the injections and it was just overall an awful experience. It seemed like it was her first time doing these type of injections. It also didn't help that she seemed to have either long nails or acrylic nails that dug in my back when she pinched my skin, I ended up having nail marks on my back (and still do) Where she would squeeze the skin for the injections. It also took longer than normal, and she was not injecting the spots where I Had shown her. I understand Beth Israel is merging with Leahy, but that still does not give them the right to not inform patients that they will not be seeing their regular doctor whom they booked the appointment specifically with. I did not want to see someone new nor did I want someone new doing these injections me and Dr. Wang have built a relationship where I feel extremely comfortable with her then to experience this gave me extreme anxiety and panic attacks. After the injections, I asked again if I could speak to Dr. Wang, which the Doctor Who is observing the injector said oh let me see if she's off another call because she's seeing other patients. In reality, I was one of the patients she was supposed to be seeing. When she did come in the room, it was not just her and eye the injector ended up coming in the room as well where I did not feel comfortable speaking or discussing what I wanted to discuss with Dr. Wang. The whole situation was very un nerve-racking and disappointing. I was never informed that I wasn't going to be seen by Dr. Wang prior to my appointment. I can't stress enough that I booked this appointment specifically with Dr. Wang and nobody else so I don't know why I as a patient got moved around to people who don't know my case and who I have never seen nor talk to you before. They should not have happened. I should have had my appointment with Dr. Wang in the first place.

She has a chronic problem, so there is no easy fix, but they took the time to really assess the problem and provided exercise to help. Lo and behold, I found myself in need of PT when the practice at my HMO was filled. I asked if I could go to this practice instead, and I am glad I did. They really take the time to understand the "why" of your problem. I appreciate that they do that and not just throw exercises at you. I am very pleased with my therapist, Connor, and already believe I am seeing progress after two weeks.

Now I hear, despite all my best efforts, that I'm not making progress and PT is a waste of my time. This was very devastating news. I was trying to balance PT with recommendations from other health care providers, and it was confusing when the recommendations conflicted, especially about what I should be eating. I feel like there still could be meaningful ways to engage in PT, but now I feel like I'm defective, and it's me as the person who's the waste of time. I thought things were going okay, but the way it ended, especially so abruptly, was extremely upsetting. I'll heal on my own or find someone who can work around my other challenges.

I generally don't like medicine that I can't trace back to anatomical reality (I get exasperated talking about Chi and other untestable, unmeasurable concepts). So I obviously didn't go to Acupuncture to get my chakrahs back into balance or anything like that. I have a pretty nasty back injury that gave me a fair amount of pain and tough ciatica (look it up). I've been doing PT, and I've been healing quite nicely (I'm not going ton a "Western Medicine is Useless!" rant today), but I'm not a very patient person. I wanted to see if I could do some pain management beyond medication, for obvious reasons. I went to see Lisa because my mother's friends (who are much more... spiritually oriented) have given me sufficient anecdotes that I decided I'd give it a try. Anyway, disclaimer aside. I enjoyed the visit. Lisa is a grounded, rational person that actually talks about medicine and the body. There's a little bit of "energy flow" stuff going on that I managed to not get frustrated about--in short, at the end of the conversation I was pretty convinced she knew what she was talking about. Then with the needles. Afterwards, I felt significant improvement. I have a lot more relaxation in my back and leg, the ciatica's gone down. I'm walking around without a cane, which is a fair improvement. I'm quite pleased with the treatment. Over the next few days, I'll be updating as to my progress. I'd recommend Lisa for an alternative approach to pain management stress, musculoskeletal or nervous problems, definitely. I will continue to hold out on the mystical cancer-healing powers of heat lamps and small needles until I've seen better science on the topic.
