Horrible service! When you call, expect to be put place on hold before you can even say yes to "can…read moreyou please hold". And don't even try to call within 10mins before lunch or closing, because you will be put on hold, and left there. The office is a joke, and I am so glad to be leaving!

My parents are patients of Dr. Vicini for many years. I have been after them for all those years to…read moreleave his office. However, anyone with parents will know they do not like change. But if I could do one thing is help someone stay away from this office. This office is the worse I have had the displeasure of dealing with. They do not care about their patients or their family members. If you are seeking pills this office will treat everything with a pill. I am hoping that my parents will break down and finally leave this doctor office. Stay away at all cost

They've started using an "AI assistant" to take phone calls and it is an abysmal experience. I…read morecan't get through to an actual human being and nobody calls me back. The useless AI just says it will take a message but I'm convinced that no one is actually listening to any of the messages.

Well run practice group of competent medical professionals and helpful support staff…read more Primary care is facing a crisis. Primary care docs only get paid for about 40% of what they spend time doing. The reimbursement rates for what primary care docs do get paid for are significantly lower than they are for specialists. The economics virtually demand primary care docs sprint through their day seeing as many patients as possible, dedicating as few minutes to each as they can get away with. These structural problems, and other concerns, mean the country is facing a primary care doc shortage of 50,000 practitioners over the next decade. But here in Massachusetts, primary care in has been in crisis for years. If you're reading this review looking for a new primary care doc, you probably already knew that. Pros: Millview Medical, which is a Steward health care affiliated practice group under the direction of Christopher Joncas, MD, employs a small army of support staff to let the doctors do what they are there to do - practice medicine. The staff are generally kind, responsive, and competent. And while that should be the standard, it is, in actual fact, extraordinarily rare. The docs with whom I've interacted all have provided medically indicated and appropriate care - and if that sounds like damning with faint praise - it's not - competence is what I value above all else in a physician. Cons: I'd like to see them adopt the kind of patient portal other health care systems have (Partners has patient gateway, Caregroup has patient site) which allow patients to have access to all of their health records and securely electronic message providers. That is a massive capital expenditure and will, undoubtedly, have to come from Steward - hopefully meaningful use will spur them on to it.

Just left her for another PCP, when she can't diagnose me correctly and I have to go to the ER for…read moreproper treatment that is a problem. I wasn't happy when she "skewed" my bloodwork data with a formula for an "average smoker" which I was not, causing my cholesterol levels to go up and then she tries to push a statin med on me which my body did not require! The last straw was her inability to diagnose a skin infection after I was strung by a bee. The woman left me in pain calling it neuropathy trying to get me on Gabapentin! I had to go to the ER for proper treatment! I am a smart, educated woman, I know what is wrong with me, and funny once I got on an antibiotic......I got better!! She does not listen to the patient, she has HER notion in her head and doesn't go beyond what she feels, doesn't matter what we say. Had I not gone and gotten on an antibiotic God only knows how far the infection would have gone. And it is on my head, near my eye I might add. I cannot continue to see a Dr I feel is not treating me correctly, and I feel I know more about my problem than she does.

Alyssa,…read morepsych NP is amazing, extremely thorough and takes the time to listen...Hannah MD, doesnt just sit at her computer askings me questions and doing a brief exam. She makes every visit personal, takes her time, doesnt rush me and is more than thorough in her exam. I recently have seen Dr Rice due to a motorcycle accident and he has been nothing short of amazing. He is caring, listens to me...doesnt make me feel bad when I tell him about the pain I am experiencing...he immediately offered me a note about being out of work, is sending me to PT and making time weekly to fit me into his schedule weekly to check in with me. To add to that, Karen (medical assistant or maybe nurse) she has called to check on me & has listened to me without judgement as well. I honestly didnt expect my medical care from sstar to be as topped notched that it is, but even Betty gets back to me immediately when I call. Basically everyone there are thorough and LISTEN. I'm beyond grateful for all of my medical care at sstar and cant recommend them enough!
