Then 8 months later viral meningitis attacked this same member's digestive system -- sick another 4 months. Then we found dr Chaney who came up with the diagnosis of involuntary acid reflux . She sat down twice and provided in depth diet guidelines in great detail and taking time. Providing wonderful guidance.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Scott Minchenberg... I'd give him 10 stars if I could!…read more I was down to a dangerous 79 pounds, due to IBS. My TEAM of doctors, at a major Boston hospital, decided "you are doing this to yourself" and "you are a nine out of 10 on my patient scale and beyond help." I took my CAT scan, from that hospital, to Dr. Scott Minchenberg at BIDMC... who immediately saw that my large intestine was completely blocked, and chose to help me. Dr. Minchenberg even calls me at home with test results! I'm not saying that doctors need to call their patients at home. I'm simply saying that this doctor made the extra effort for me. The other major Boston hospitals prescribed me a LOT of incredibly harmful prescription drugs, when there were ones without blackbox warnings available, sold me multiple unnecessary surgeries, which severely limited my follow-up options, when there was a less invasive surgery available... And then gave up on me.. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center created an environment of empathy, non-judgment and welcome for me and my medical alert, service dog, Dr. Smallz. THE DEAL: if you need a doctor that truly cares about his patients, Dr. Scott Minchenberg is the best Boston gastroenterologist!

I spent about six hours in the emergency department with my roommate and we had a fairly expectable…read moreexperience. It was fairly crowded, but we were called back for testing in a pretty reasonable manner. The providers were fantastic at keeping everyone relaxed despite the overwhelming night. The front desk receptionists are kind and attentive to everyone - the waiting room was pretty well-managed given the crowd and timing. I appreciated the water and phone chargers that are provided in the waiting room! However, following the blood test, we were not told that the results would be available for review on the online portal until nearly three hours of waiting for a doctor to call us back. We received her results within the hour of the test and could have left right after, but killed time waiting. I've taken other people here in the past and have never had this problem. Better communication in that regard would have been appreciated. Overall, it was a fine experience and this is definitely my go-to ER over the others in the area. Personally, I see several providers in a variety of specialities at Brigham outside of the ER and have had nothing but good things to say, especially the dermatology department. As an out-of-state college student, Brigham is always in my insurance network and it's never a huge hassle to schedule consultations or follow-ups.

My initial impression of Dr. Holtzman during my first and only exam on 10/28/24 was not an…read moreentirely positive one. I found his non-medical questions about my personal life unnecessarily intrusive. (I'd already been asked and answered a couple of those questions online as part of the required Zocdoc new patient intake by his office.) One of these was "What is your sexual orientation?" As with Zocdoc, I told him I was straight. He replied with a smile: "Maybe a straight guy who also sleeps with men?" (I believe his precise words were "Heterosexual meaning you like just women, or women and men?") Which left me slack-jawed. A couple unspoken thoughts crossed my mind in quick succession: "Huh? Wouldn't such a guy be a bisexual?" Followed by a recognition of his obvious insinuation, which I found as unprofessional as it was inaccurate. It may be appropriate for a physician to ask a patient's sexual orientation today (I'm 71), but hardly professional to suggest a different orientation to the patient. His next question was "When did you last have sex?" despite the fact that I came to this first office visit presenting no complaints, let alone symptoms, that might suggest an STD or anything else of a sexual nature. Frankly, I had to wonder what the dude's agenda was. He insisted on giving me a referal to his dermatologist colleague, despite my telling him I had seen two dermatologists ---working together--less than a year earlier as a part of the excision of a couple benign facial blemishes. Then when the results of my Qwest lab bloodwork of a week later came back, liver enzymes AST and ALT in my blood were abnormally high, so I messaged him for his interpretation. Unlike my previous PCPs, who would offer a brief interpretation via their patient portals, his terse response was: "See me." Which I interpreted as another office visit. Fortunately, I subsequnetly remembered that I had taken large doses of acetaminophen at the time of the blood draws due to cold symptoms, which temporarily elevates these enzymes' levels. (Mystery solved and money saved.) But I noted his attempt to turn my simple portal inquiry into a billable office visit, not (in fairness to him) unusual in today's profit-focused US medical industry. As physician/author Elizabeth Rosenthal has written: "The 'first do no harm' directive has been replaced with 'first leave no money on the table' ". In the year that followed, he cooperatively issued for me two gastroenterologist referrals with a recommendation for a colonoscopy, (although I should note that the first referral was for a gastroenterologist conncted to a facility from which a hospital approved post-sedated procedure ride home was unavailable to me, which limitation I had made very clear to him during the 10/2024 exam, thus the need for the second referral. In summary, I had no reason to question Dr. Holtzman's overall medical competence, but also no desire to remain in his practice.
