I feel compelled to write this review and warn the community after just completing an extremely…read morebizarre and unprofessional job interview process. I want to preface my review by explicitly stating that I fully understand MFM's mission of bringing accessible and coordinated care to the local setting. However, it appears as though MFM is expanding very rapidly and their operations cannot keep pace, which has downstream effects on both care quality and observable culture, which they are apparently trying to resolve through hiring instead of addressing the root causes of these issues. I applied for two positions at MFM Health. I will keep identifying details confidential to protect the privacy of those involved. For the first position I applied to, I was contacted by the hiring manager via a "Do Not Reply" email. She provided a phone number and asked me to call to set up an interview. I was unsure why the interview arrangements could not be worked out over email, but I nevertheless called the number only to find out that it was not a direct line. I called this number several times and was never able to reach the hiring manager despite a valiant attempt. Many negative reviews of this practice state it is difficult to contact staff by phone, I would say this assessment is accurate. When I was contacted about the second position, I was excited to find out that it was in a specialty department that I had several years of experience in on top of my 10+ years of relevant experience. One of the things I immediately noticed was that staff availability for interviews was limited, and, for the most part, they told you when you would be coming in. I understand that healthcare and volume are synonymous these days, but some flexibility would have been appreciated to allow me to prepare adequately. The screening interview was uneventful, but things became a bit strange during the in-person interview. As such, the supervising physician bluntly told me they are "very burned out" and cannot handle their patient load yet "they keep sending me more." I asked if any continuing education opportunities are offered and I was told no. This concerns me as organizations that do not invest in the growth and development of their staff typically experience high turnover and low morale. Despite these oddities, the hiring manager assured me that the team in fact, was impressed by my background and did appear to like me. However, the next day, I was abruptly informed that I would have to do another interview and was given only a day to prepare. Given that the staff had endorsed such strong feelings of burnout during the previous interview, I decided a morale boost may be appropriate. I purchased some healthy snacks and cold beverages and brought them to the second interview. I also included two handwritten and personalized thank-you cards for the clinical team. On the day of this next interview, I arrived with my snacks and drinks in tow. I was shown to the conference room where I set everything up. I was informed that the hiring manager would not be present for the meeting as the interview was scheduled last minute in the middle of their workday. Here is the crux of my review: I met with two stone-faced support staff members who made no attempts to reciprocate my efforts to engage with them. One staffer was engrossed in his laptop and barely participated. The other staffer asked me a handful of inappropriate questions with largely subjective answers that depended on training. After about ten minutes of awkward questioning, I was dismissed, without any expression of thanks for the snacks/drinks, which were left unopened and untouched on the table. There was no follow-up from the hiring manager. After the interview, I reached out to the hiring team to share some additional information about my background that we did not have time to cover in the interviews. I did not receive a response. Two days later, I received a rejection letter stating I was "not a strong enough candidate," despite having co-authored a paper in the field.

We have only dealt with Dr Allara and Dr Yoon over the last 25+ years. My wife has very complicated…read morehealth issues Drs Allara and Yoon have taken the time and effort to become familiar with these issues. I usually don't care for the way most doctors treat patients but Allara and Yoon are exceptional, they actually treat patients as patients not numbers. My wife and I have had horrible experiences with medical professionals but never have we had one complaint with Allara and Yoon. These guys understand that all patients are not the same. They understand that what is normal for one patient is not necessarily normal for another. They actually put some thought into your problems instead of just running down a check list. At one time I thought proper medical treatment was no existent North of Boston but after 25+ years of dealing with MFM Health I know that good health care can be found.

And this was minutes before she did it. And acknowledged she heard me. Same doctor misdiagnosed congestive failure. When I went in in June and complained about severe and painful edema with legs and groin swollen at least 3-4 times normal size, she said she didn't see a problem. In September when I told her I couldn't lay down without feeling like I was drowning, so I had serious trouble sleeping, she told me I should lay and my back. No exam, no questions. Less than two weeks later I couldn't walk ten feet without serious breathing problems. Admitted to two different hospitals in October. Feel much better now. Specialist she referred me to is upset my test results are too high. Yet she won't prescribe my meds to normalize them. First time, and only time, I see her she asks if I need any refills. I tell her yes, which ones, and even the dosages and confirmed which pharmacy ; she said okay which to me meant she would take care of it. Pharmacy never heard from her. Furious doesn't even begin to describe how much it bothered me. When I finally calmed down enough to call her, she called in one med but not the other - the one for which my tests were out of whack and I was symptomatic. Never again. I shouldn't have to supervise my doctors like this.

As I try to get their attention, they quicky turn , walk away. I do everything to help myself, I sit near the door facing them, I read lips( impossible with masks). After long wait time seeing others that came after me go in, I twice was able to finally get one's attention, and find that yes my name had been called earlier. I go again today for tests, just don't know what to do.

Days later I had remembered I had a Health Savings Account debit card. I decided to call Billing, have them refund the $30 on my credit card and charge the HSA debit instead. The transaction seemed easy. Come to find out, they never refunded the $30 on my credit card, and instead of withdrawing $30 on my debit card, they withdrew $200. I've been calling and using the portal for two weeks - simply requesting Billing to call me. The folks on the portal said Billing would call, but they haven't. Two weeks of silence. My only recourse was to file a report with the Beverly Police Dept. They'll follow up with the NSPG or the Salem Court will. An abysmal experience.

I live two hours away and I've chosen here despite the commute because there is no medical center near me that gives the treatment I need so I am, for lack of a better term, downright desperate. After having a prescription given to me almost a year ago, I have been calling for MONTHS to get it authorized by the doctor I saw and nothing productive has happened. Nothing. I've been hung up on twice before, I've been bounced between two offices multiple times to try and reschedule an appointment, I have stated the urgency of how I need what I am there for and still nothing has been done. My experience here has been disgustingly bad and I would urge anyone who is looking for this as a possibility to try other options because it is abhorrent how hard it is to get anything accomplished here. And this isn't even coming from just a solely outside view, I am in the medical field myself. I am extremely disappointed.
