This family member contracted H1N1 in 2009 almost died and could not hold food down for over 3 weeks. Brigham Women's and Mayo Clinics ER could offer no solutions at that time. 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. And just before our family member moved away, dr Chaney MADE time ( right before her vacation) to do one last endoscopy . ... NO one ever before or after has given us such excellent 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!

Approximately 18 months ago Dr. Brent Shoji, Gastrointestinal and General Surgery, removed a large,…read morebenign hemorrhoid, He stated at the time that a polyp may form as a result of the surgery, A polyp did, in fact, subsequently form and on December 17, 2024, I went into Dr. Shoji's office to have the growth removed. Upon inspecting the affected area, Dr. Shoji located two additional hemorrhoids which also needed to be removed. Before the procedure I asked Dr. Shoji about the sterility of the instruments fearing possible HIV infection. He assured me that there was no risk of transmission. He had me lie uncomfortably on my stomach (The first time I had lied on my side for the procedure.) and apprised me of the course of the procedure stating that the anesthesia injections would be the most painful aspect. He administered at least two injections of anesthetic which were painful enough. After having probed the area for numbness, he told me he would give me an additional injection, This injection was a malicious, sadistic, painful jab which made me howl. (I am a diabetic who injects insulin twice per day. I am more than familiar with injections and how a drug needs to be administered intravenously.) During the beginning of the operation Dr. Shoji stated that the recovery time would last for 3 - 4 weeks. When I asked him a few minutes later about safe anal intercourse, he indicated that it would be possible after just 2 weeks. That is not in sync with his prior statement and after two weeks, my anus was still extremely painful upon stool movements. Lastly and just as importantly, Dr. Shoji had supposedly poked the surgical area several times for sensitivity prior to the first cut. I had felt nothing. During cauterization toward the end of the procedure (I knew it was cauterization as I could smell my own burning flesh.) Dr. Shoji sadistically continued to burn the area in such a way as to make the procedure extremely painful. I howled again and asked him how much longer it would take. He kept telling me he was almost finished and just a little bit longer. Despite a minimum of three anesthesia injections, the cauterization was VERY PAINFUL. It also turned out to be the exact spot of the post-operative pain and discomfort FOR WEEKS after the procedure. I am extremely disappointed in Dr. Shoji, the department and the entire facility. He, again, stated that I might have additional growths. If that does turn out to be the case, I will not seek remedy at Brigham & Women's Hospital. It is tantamount to a butcher shop.

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.
