I came here several times a week for radiation and many, many other visits before and after . I was also impatient for a while and was never in such a comfortable and well attended hospital room. New gleaming hardwood floors and extra room and furniture for guests. They have free valet parking for patients and a super comfortable waiting / lounge area with a piano player on occasion. I love this place and can't say enough about the entire oncology teams and their support team (s).

I am here weekly/bi weekly & from the minute I pull up in my car & the valet guys or girls take my car to me walking in the door to the center, I feel the love, compassion & hope! Every Doctor, nurse, pa, medical assistant down to the girls at the main desks, EVERYONE is truly wonderful. It sucks to be going through such a sh!tty journey, but feel so blessed to be going to such an amazing place for treatment. I have no anxiety or fear any longer when I come here, I simply feel love & compassion!

I could not find a listing for the general hospital here, so I am leaving my review for the Main…read moreHospital...Not the Cancer Center (which is only a portion of the Hospital at this address). In general, this is an excellent care facility. I have had 2 of my children here, the Labor and Delivery experience was wonderful. Staff is usually quite helpful. My regular GP and OBGYN are all associated with this hospital and I have had wonderful experiences with all of them. My main complaint is the parking garage. it is laid out very strangely and requires changing directions when entering and exiting (versus 1 flow pattern as used in other parking garages). This leads to multiple back ups as people realize they cannot get out the way they came in. It gets annoying, quickly.

I'm almost surprised to be the first to post a review of Community Health Care of Meriden, CT…read more(hereafter referred to as CHC), because although it primarily serves low-income families and patients, most of aforementioned families somehow manage to stay current with the latest technology in smartphones, thereby giving them access to Yelp. But, enough about that, let's talk about CHC. In a day and age when healthcare corporations are shipping in the "finest" of medical professionals from overseas, many domestically educated physicians are relegated to positions in less prestigious facilities. This can be good news... and bad news. Physicians seem to be placed under a number of factors. How much are they willing to accept as a salary? Are they willing to relocate? Are they willing to work in a community-based facility as opposed to a large hospital. For the record, I've come to find that many doctors do not even work for hospitals, rather they pay the hospital for use of their facilities in addition to their own private practice. This is why you get such a large bill after using a hospital's services. You're paying for the hospital's fee, plus the doctor's fee. As for the rest, well, some physicians didn't place very high in medical school, yet passed the state medical certification board. Consequently, the more professional facilities will not hire them, AND due to the limited number of spaces available in these finer healthcare facilities, some of the more intelligent and knowledgable physicians end up working in facilities such as CHC. That's where the good news comes in. It's refreshing to see that some of the finer doctors aren't too proud to take such a position, especially because they entered the healthcare profession to care for the sick, the elderly, and the infirm. Twenty years ago, such community-based healthcare facilities couldn't afford to pay enough for the finer physicians because the demand outweighed the supply. Let's face it: in all fairness, a medical facility that runs in the red will close its doors before long. CHC is actually a network of facilities throughout the state of Connecticut that strategically places its services where it will be most needed and utilized. It also places such services in consideration of how much it will cost to fill the other needed positions, be it registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, or even a receptionist. No receptionist will travel in excess of 25 miles for $9.00/hour as they'll be losing money in the process. So with that in mind, be prepared to deal with a little less than ideal customer service when dealing with CHC, at least in Meriden. There are some very good doctors at CHC who will take the time to listen to what you have to say, weigh it in considering your regimen and show genuine concern for your general well-being. There are others, however, who consider themselves above their position and will argue with you, especially after making you wait for 1-3 hours just to see them, only to inform you they're very busy and only have 5 minutes to see you. Such self-important doctors are lacking in a very basic, yet required skill called time management. There are also other doctors who are obviously unhappy with their current position and will go the distance to make it almost impossible to see them, just to lighten their workload. Their attitudes, for lack of a better word, suck. These are the ones to avoid. I will not name names as I do continue to use this facility and do not wish to incur the wrath or lack of cooperation of any particular professional who is sympathetic to the problematic doctors' situation. Just use caution. After a visit or two, you should be able to see a pattern and then request a new doctor. Ask around. If you get to an appointment and someone in the waiting room is complaining they've been waiting for over 90 minutes past their appointment time, it may be wise to find out who their doctor is and take it from there. I believe CHC is a great facility with a few bad apples in the bunch. Fortunately, those bad apples do not spoil the bunch. Now if they could just do away with that policy restricting appointments to no later than 2 weeks from date...

This review pertains to the group's in-house pharmacist named Melissa. She has been an absolute wonder to deal with and has been so incredibly helpful in finding and procuring grants and financial assistance for the outrageously expensive medication that Dr. Levy prescribed. After a VERY hefty initial co-pay of well over $2300.00, I've had no further out of pocket expenses for these meds, thanks to the tireless and persistent efforts of this young woman. Between Dr. Levy & Melissa, I couldn't possibly more strongly recommend this practice for those needing it.

I was always very nervous going the first few times but now I am at ease knowing Dr Levy my doctor.

Now I start over with someone new. Dr Levy said he would leave me in good hands there so I am putting my trust in is recommendation and wish him the very best in his new adventure. Good luckDr Levy.

Difficult to extract info. from them, they make snap decisions without listening to family & aides (said my husband was incoherent and discounted aide saying he hadn't even been awake for 10 minutes), decided he was sweaty and had low bp but didn't wait 5 min & retry bp on other arm & aide said he was not sweaty - his clothes were dry but his head looked damp because she had just wiped his face & head & applied skin cream - all factors considered & knowing we are trying to transfer to hospice, nurse calls ambulance and sends him to ER. Nurse at his primary care told me his bp wasn't even that low. My dau & the aide said the HHC nurse looked like she was just trying to get out of the house. So he was subjected to ambulance trip to & from ER, hours in ER & even they couldn't figure out why he was there. This is just one of MANY issues with their incompetence, lack of care for patient/family, inability to listen and communicate.

I called in today for knee pain and I would have to wait a month to see someone. They refused to give me an appointment with anyone but my PCP, because my call wasn't urgent enough, so they told me to go to the ER, which is supposed to be for emergencies. Anyway, I called September 27th and I couldn't get an appointment until 10/22 or else go to the other side of the state. I told them to forget it since I'm moving out of state on 10/16. I gave them 2 stars because they are pretty good if they take you. The problem is availability.
