This practice has gone downhill since I became a patient 10 years ago. I had many friends and…read morefamily members who came here who had been well cared for. I will probably stay through shear inertia but would encourage those looking for a medical practice to stay away based on my recent experience which has been horrible. They referred me to what they described as a reputable specialist for my procedure. They called me to confirm an appointment with this specialist and I assumed I was all set. A month later, the day of my appointment, I called the specialist office to confirm and discovered that no appointment was ever made. They scheduled an appointment with me for the following month. When I called to complain to Sagov they had no record of the original referral. Now it is two months since my diagnosis and the specialist called to reschedule two weeks later. Assuming I ever get to see a specialist it is now looking like almost three months from diagnosis's to even seeing a specialist. I don't believe my condition is life threatening so think I am fine. However, the referral system is questionable at best and am now doubting the quality of this specialist. Please consider an alternative to Sagov's Family Prqctice Group.

I had my entire adult family with this physician as the primary care doctor…read more Visits are brief. Conditions are reviewed with WebMD like computer searches. No treatment for conditions ranging for internal pains, symptoms of arthritis, risk or aortic rupture, or gout were ever recommended. Thousands of dollars in tests were we sent for. No review , feedback, analysis, or recommendations on any of them were ever received. Don't make the mistake of asking an extra question during a visit. You will be billed fully as if it were another appointment. (which your insurance won't cover as they don't understand two sessions with the same doctor on the same day) After 2 years of trying to get any kind of result, we shifted to someone else.

My fiancée and I switched primary care physicians to Dr. Mainali here, just a couple months ago…read morefollowing a move. We've each been twice so far, and are very pleased. It's a small office, but the receptionist was helpful and friendly. Dr. Mainali himself was very thorough in our first visit, really listening to what we had to say as well as his test results. We felt valued as people, not just as paying customers. He was very helpful when our blood test results came back, in not just telling us the problems, but going through every line of the results (full of acronyms and medical lingo we wouldn't understand on our own) and explaining what everything meant, and why we might care. For many procedures, this small 1-doctor office (he's planning to add a second soon) will have to refer you to others. So, don't expect a hospital-like experience where they can handle everything you could possibly need in the same building. For everything that can be done in-house, though, Everest Healthcare and Dr. Mainali come highly recommended.

I went in to see Dr. Ayala back in july where I had a colonoscopy. He told me what I already knew,…read moreafter looking around on the camera. Then afterwards he had me wait for about twenty minutes in the triage area of the hospital then came out and told me to start a high fiber diet. Then he took off and never came back. If he had listened to me during the RECORDED consultation, he would have known, I'm a vegetarian and I already have a high fiber diet. Prior to this he told me to come in and do some lactose testing, which i did, months later. The secretary administered my test. THE SECRETARY! Then they charged me for both tests when i only got one. He never called me after the colonoscopy or the testing to follow up or maybe find a way to solve my problem. and this is after SEVERAL phone calls to him.I left many messages with no return. I do not recommend him to anyone. Also, his office is very dirty and unprofessional. The waiting room is fine, it's his office that looks like he lives there part time and never cleans.Which wouldn't make sense because he's never there and doesn't return calls! I hope he sees this because I want him to know that as far as doctors go, this was one of the worst experiences I've had. Fix your stuff sir. And maybe try to act professionally. Thanks.

I've since seen her twice, once for a physical and the second time for a gyno screening. Gyno's are always awkward - to me anyways. Dr. Peters was great at both appointments. For my physical, she went through everything. I was surprised at how detailed she got during my health history. It was reassuring. I have very little faith in doctors; I think the healthcare system is broken and they simply don't have the time or energy to invest when they're seeing so many patients each day. That being said, Dr. Peters is much better than my last two doctors (yes, I move around a lot). I'm a fan.

Dr. Louis Liou is one of the best surgeons I have had the pleasure of being a patient of. I went…read moreto see him for a vasectomy, and he was very honest, kind, and considerate during the consultation. My primary hospital is Beth Israel, and my PCP is affiliated with them. But due to the fact that the larger city hospital were booked until mid summer or the fall, I went outside of my comfort zone and made this appointment with the Cambridge Health Alliance Surgical Specialties and the Somerville Hospital. I wanted to have the procedure done very quickly, as I had two weeks in between jobs, and they were able to accommodate me. Due to a medication I take daily (NSAID), he did warn me about bleeding being a risk factor after the procedure - and that the risk for bleeding is slightly higher if I did not cease the meds about 7 days off prior to the surgery. I explained that I knew the risks, and would still like to have the surgery three days after ceasing that medication. He agreed. His bedside manner was fantastic, as was that of his staff (especially the older, Italian female nurse - great sense of humor behind a very professional countenance). Even though I was completely exposed, so to speak, the staff and the doctor made me feel very comfortable. It was all done in less than 20 minutes (the procedure itself - time in hospital was about 1.5 hours), and with ice and taking it easy, I've experienced little to no swelling, and no bleeding. His incisions and stitches were perfect. If looking for a vasectomy and you live in the Boston area, I highly recommend this doctor. I come from a family of doctors, and have a lot of friends who are doctors, and honestly - I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to my healthcare and my providers, and I can say with full confidence that he is a great doctor, surrounded by a great staff. Just be sure to not be an idiot after your procedure, and follow his orders (and common sense). No rough sex or carrying around furniture all day. Take it very easy - after all - we're talking about a rather important part of a man's body;)
