I would absolutely NOT go to this doctor. Please find any other physician. Any. This doctor is…read morejudgmental, doubts patients, and is not available to respond to patients' needs. I recently moved into the area and was looking for a PCP. Dr. Beaulieu had relatively good reviews and had his own private practice. I wanted to support a local business, so I decided to begin seeing him. The first appointment went relatively well, and I thought he was the type of doctor who cared a great deal about his patients. The second appointment and every interaction since then has been terrible, however. During the first appointment, he drew blood and we talked about my medical issues. I told him I had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease through a blood test when I was 17. I also told him fatigue was an issue. Dr. Beaulieu requires that patients come back for a follow-up appointment post-bloodwork rather than just mail them their results. I guess that helps him earn more money. But whatever. I decided my health was important, so a second appointment it was - even though I had to leave work early to get there in time. During the second appointment, it turned out that a) he tested me for the same autoimmune disease I told him that I have, and it seemed clear that he did not believe I actually had it and was simply making it up and b) he did not test me for anything related to my current fatigue. He did 2 standard blood tests in addition to testing me for an autoimmune disease - which I have a diagnosis for - and neither of them connected to fatigue at all. He essentially completely dismissed what I had to say. The whole retesting for this autoimmune disease felt like a way for him to "catch" me making this up. I asked him why he tested for this, and his response was that "He had doubts that I had it." During this same appointment, he told me that Vitamin C was as effective as many vaccines. Also, guess what? My insurance will not cover a test that I did not need - i.e., the autoimmune disease test. So I get to pay out of pocket for that. There was zero need to test for it except for him to feel good. I then ran out of an important prescription. It was originally prescribed by a different doctor who can no longer prescribe it - I was living abroad for the past two years, and so the prescription that I had was only valid in that country. Knowing that it might be awhile before I could find a PCP, I stocked up before coming back to the U.S., but just ran out. I called two weeks ago, and could not get in touch with anyone. I called his office 6 times today, hoping to talk to Dr. Beaulieu and get this prescription phoned in. Instead - when the phone was actually answered by an answering service - I was told I would be called back within 30 minutes or less. Surprise surprise - I was not. When I called back and talked to the "service" they asked if I had somehow blocked the number on my phone. I am still unable to get in touch with my PCP, who is the only one who can write this important prescription. Frustrated doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. If you think that using a private practitioner will mean more individual attention from your PCP, you are absolutely wrong. Choose another one.

I hope to be a patient here for as long as possible. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Waugh and her associates to all of my friends.

As I started moving into my 40's I realized I needed to take my health a lot more seriously than I…read morehave been when I was younger. I signed up with Gold Direct Care after I heard about what Dr Gold was doing. I was drawn towards the idea of having a doctor who will spend as much time addressing my concerns as necessary. I have been pretty disappointed with 10 minute consultations with previous doctors who don't have time to listen and never really get down to the root of the problem. I got the feeling that they have to make a very quick decision and hope for the best. Try this, take that, come see me again in 6 months. I realized that I have to take my health seriously. Good health is one of the most precious things we have. I made a clear and conscious decision that I do not want to be part of the herd anymore. I wanted a doctor who I have access to. I wanted a doctor who truly cares and who knows me, and I wanted a doctor who had the time to do his job properly with my best interests at heart. I have been with Dr Gold since he started his Direct Primary Care practice, and I am completely satisfied. My first consultation was over an hour. I send him emails which he responds to right away. I have his cell number and I have 24 hour access if I should need it. (Not that I think I will, but it is a comforting thought.) I had a chronic health issue for quite some time, and nobody has been able to get it under control. With Dr Gold's care he had it taken care of within the first month. We spoke often and tried different prescriptions. He consulted with other specialists and before long had the whole situation under control and everything back to normal. I did not get kicked around from one specialist to another, from one test to the next. In the end it was his direct pragmatic approach that solved a complicated situation without having to send me in for a complete "refit". It is also a pleasure to work with him. He has a great sense of humor and a nice personality. It feels like you are talking to an old friend, which takes the anxiety out of visiting the doctor. If anyone is on the fence on whether this is a good fit for them, take it from me, you will definitely not be disappointed. If you take your health seriously, this is a smart investment. Investing in your health is investing in yourself and your future. Dr Gold practices modern medicine with a traditional approach. Everybody wins! I can't recommend it highly enough.

I would have given a five star review until Dr. Mancini terminated me (a 69 year old woman with…read moreunderlying conditions) as a patient during the pandemic without even the courtesy of a phone call. I was a long time patient of Dr. Mancini. It is a concierge practice and I paid for the care of a doctor. When she went on maternity leave I wished all the best for her. I was not happy to find that she hired a nurse practitioner to cover for her rather than a doctor. I had excruciating pain on my left side near my rib. I did get an in person appointment and she said I had a bruised rib. She said I could get an x-ray. She called to say the x-ray showed an enlarged spleen. I was concerned and saw the nurse practitioner who sent me to the emergency room "in case my spleen exploded or something." Luckily I went to the emergency room where I was diagnosed with Costochondritis - a muscle problem that causes extreme pain. This should have been obvious since I have chronic muscle pain. My chiropractor in NYC, bless him, knew exactly what it was and how I got it and has made the pain lessen considerable. I went back because the nurse practitioner wanted more blood tests. She called to tell me that something was high. I asked if I could call to discuss the blood tests. She said no. I decided to get a complete exam in NYC (I live in NYC and in MA). Turns out is normal for the spleen to enlarge slightly when the body is under stress as it is sending out more white cells. My bone density is good and all my pain is muscular. My heart is good. I have lost 40 lbs and gotten my sugar down from 11 to 7.5. Still have to get it to 6 - but you would think these would be things a medical practitioner would know and want to share with me. When I asked when Dr. Mancini was returning I was told August 17th. I got this e-mail from her. "Jan, It has been brought to my attention that you have been unsatisfied with the care you have received since my going on maternity leave and were upset by my taking maternity leave in general. I was also made aware that you were verbally abusive, using profanity, towards our office manager. For these reasons I feel it best you find an alternative primary care physician. I am sorry it has come to this, but I feel the doctor-patient relationship has been irreparably damaged. The date of termination is August 1, 2020. - Dr. Mancini No phone call. No response to my e-mail replies. I was unsatisfied with the care I was given because I was misdiagnosed and not given appropriate information. I never was upset by Dr. Mancini taking maternity leave - I wished her all the best. All women need maternity leave. I did use profanity. Walking - in excruciating pain - to the office - I was made to stand outside in the pouring rain when they knew I was there for over 10 minutes. When I came in I said, "No patient deserves to be treated like s**t. I am a human being." I have a Masters in Counseling degree and if a patient of mine who had always been friendly and responsible reacted that way I would view it clinically as a sign of extreme stress (which it was) and would have checked in to see if they were okay. I have been in other medical places during COVID-19 and strict protocols never involve patients being locked out in the rain. I would have lived with all of this because of COVID-19 but the fact that a doctor would terminate a 69 year old patient with medical problems during a pandemic without even the courtesy of a phone call is inexcusable. When I found Elitra Health in NYC I actually cried during my exam because it felt so good to finally have an intelligent, competent team of people caring for my health. Dr. Mancini also prescribed inappropriate medication but that is another story.
