My first impression of the Newton Wellesley Hospital Outpatient Surgery Center is that I entered…read more"nirvana (this was before I received any sedatives/anesthesia)." I got the impression that this place would be different, when I was greeted by two kind staff members in the lobby, one, who escorted me upstairs to the Outpatient Surgery Center. It seems that 80% of a patients "contact time," while a patient at the Outpatient Surgery Center, is with the Center's Registered Nurses, and they - - collectively - - are a group of (especially) kind, comforting, professional, and efficient healthcare providers. There is no edge, or anything edgy about the Newton Wellesley Hospital Outpatient Surgery Center, is is a place that seems to be stuck in a "state of calm;" there's no pandemonium, noise, rushing, waiting, or drama, just kindness, caring, efficiency, and healing. My surgeon, hand surgeon, Matthew Leibman, MD is a Rock Star, a professional, genius, skilled, caring clinician.....unpretentious, despite all of the important people that he cares for. Dr. Leibman's Physician Assistant, Ashley Piemonte, is equally caring, professional, and skilled, and misses not one detail - - she makes certain that your continuity of care is continuous. I'm biased towards Massachusetts General Hospital, which I believe is the greatest hospital in the world; the Newton Wellesley Hospital Outpatient Surgery Center doesn't have the academic, tertiary, big city edge of MGH, but there are times, like today, for me, that I didn't need that.

Nice, kind nurses who bring warm blankets; doctors who take the time to explain what to expect. I always have difficulties waking easily from anesthesia but no one got upset with me or rushed me.

When I finally was seen I was first seen by a PA ( who was new) then shuffled to another PA "Drew". It was the most appauling and unprofessional visit which resulted in her stating I was being catastrophic regarding my pain. Not only that, she was confusing meds that I had on my allergy list to meds I was currently taking. I have worked in heath care for the US Navy and US Coast Guard for 20 years this woman would have been demoted and reprimanded. This was the worst experience I have had for medical care. I would give zero stars if I could.

When I asked when I could have another appointment they told me 4 weeks from now, which I considered outrageous.

They have snacks, coffee, and the office is super clean. The staff is super friendly. I just feel like, as someone who can barely put any weight on her foot, and then pain is so bad that I can't sleep, that this is not considered urgent and therefore it gets canceled.

I was referred to a doctor named Miegel which might as well have been Mengele. He ordered a deep tissue cortisone shot that are supposed to last for six months. When I came back two weeks later as if I had never gotten the shot at all, I told him and he simply said "well, your not getting another shot so you may as well take two Advil a day and come back when your 50," I was too taken aback to say anything. So my dad and a number of people mentioned Newton Wellesley. From the moment I walked in the door I felt like their number one priority. Dr Laurie Katz was my first Doc who asked me what was up, I told her severe arthritis. She kind of said "okay" with some apropos sarcasm. She came back with her X-rays and turned ghost white "I thought you were kidding or got something from webMD, but this is bad. I haven't seen arthritis this bad in a long time. She immediately put me in touch with a surgeon in her group, Dr Hanmer. They decided to try another cortisone shot-because these hips don't last forever-one more time being SO young for a hip. Well, 6 days later and the pain was back. The shot did work for few days and I psyched, going up stairs without a railing or run out into the street to get a child out of danger but alas, 6 days instead months, they scheduled my surgery a moth later. It was a four hour procedure, I was out the WHOLE time. I don't want to get people's hopes up, and part of it is because I'm 34, the surgery was Wed June 3, they had me on a walker the morning of Thurs June 4th. Later that day, they gave me crutches to walk with, at the end of the walk she had me going up and down stairs! I was out of their the next morning.

Update: The office responded insisting that they follow all EEOC requirements and do not discriminate. As an HR and Recruiting Director, I know exactly how easy is for hiring managers to skew their decisions to hire exactly whom they want regardless of any office policy of antidiscrimination. 10 male doctors and not a single female doctor is almost impossible unless intentional.
