Because the office was TOTALLY unresponsive for years before... and again in the past year. It could be he has started the concierge device he was discussing but I have not been notified of that. In any case, it is very dangerous to have a cardiologist you can't get in touch with. The office doesn't pick up and messages never get answered.

From the owner: In 1985 Kenneth Rice, MD, FACC, then Director of the Cardiac Stress Lab at Beth Israel Deaconess…read moreMedical Center, opened his cardiology practice in Brookline providing diagnostic cardiac ultrasound, Exercise Tolerance Testing, Stress Echocardiography testing, Holter monitoring, and event monitoring. Stress echo can be safer than nuclear stress testing because if resting images are already abnormal, there is no need to perform the stress part of the test. There is also no radiation associated with Stress Echocardiography testing. In 1993, with Joseph Polak, MD, MPH, then Director of the Non-Invasive Vascular Lab at Brigham & Women's Hospital, Dr. Rice expanded his range of services to include vascular imaging, consisting of cerebrovascular testing, peripheral extremity venous and arterial ultrasounds, and abdominal vascular exams.

So I selected Dr. Robert Dye as my husband's and my PCP since it was close to work/home and it was…read morewithin the network. My other requirements when selecting a PCP were that he/she had to be board certified Internal Medicine. So Dr. Dye fulfilled these criteria. I called at the beginning of August to schedule establishment visits. The first available they had for both of us to come in (yes, I had to make sure I went with my husband because he hates going to the doctor) was at the beginning of September, a month later. The day before the appointment, the office called to say that Dr. Dye had to reschedule so they rescheduled it for the week following. The day before that supposed appointment, they called my husband to reschedule. We re-arranged our schedule and agreed to be seen the following Monday. The office staff is small and seem over-worked. We weren't greeted by a receptionist, but given paperwork to fill out by the medical assistant. We waited for about forty-five minutes from our appointment time, and finally were seen. Dr. Dye and his associate (Dr. Ashley although I am sure I am spelling her name wrong) were very thorough about our concerns/questions, and we got along very well after I disclosed that I was a physician myself. Overall, they appear competent and friendly (but how much of that is because I'm a fellow physician?). The wait time left a lot to be desired (both for the appointment and on the day of the appointment). We will see how they do with follow-up care and lab results... but since my husband and I are relatively healthy, I don't plan on making any PCP changes at this time.

I had randomly chosen him because he was near my apartment. I called to get an appointment because…read moreI had a cough for about a week that was exacerbating my asthma. They didnt have anyappointments for another 3 weeks but said they could fit me in the next day. The next day they called to cancel and reschedule the next day. When I went later, they had me waiting in the waiting room for an HOUR AND A HALF!!! Then they put me in a room with people's medical records on chairs and all over the room that I killed time reading (I'm sure they violated HIPPA/ patient confidentiality there!!) When I told them that I thought it was an unreasonable time to wait they said that they didnt have to treat me, and if I didnt like it I could leave and go to the ER and wait there if I wanted to. That doesnt seem like good patient care to me. I dont want a doctor who's response to a patients concern about what kind of care they are receiving to be "Keep your mouth shut. If you dont like it, go wait at BMC's ER for 8 hours." My father and brother are doctors and they said that they would never say that, that's bad patient care and poor professional demeanor. I will never go back or return for follow up care. I think I would prefer and wait in Newton-Wellesley ER, atleast theyre nice and caring there. So I am looking for another PCP. Anyone have a good suggestion? : )

But I was checked in early, called into the office on time, and didn't have to wait around forever for my nurse's triage and then my OB's care. She was a dream. Even though it was the first time we had ever met, and she had none of my medical history from other facilities, she agreed to remove my birth control on the spot and give me a new method. It was such a long and complicated road to get a doctor who would do this for me... I almost cried when she said it would be easy to help me. Such a friendly and easygoing manner, too. Thank you so much!!! I got home an hour later!

AVOID if you can. I'm giving only one star because I like my OB-GYN who practiced here. But now…read morethat she's changed offices, I have zero reason to come here again. There's a woman who works at the front desk/answers the phone who is perhaps the rudest person I've ever spoken to. Zero manners. Annoyed, mocking, borderline berating. I called to see if they could pull up a medical release form that I had signed two years ago and transfer my records over to another office, and she insisted that I had never sent them a form. Basically yelling at me over the phone. Front desk staff are a critical component of any healthcare, as they're the first person you see and can set the tone for the rest of the appointment. I would never want someone like her to be in charge of issues like appointments, who to talk to about bills, etc. Absolutely horrendous experience. Plus each time I've come, I've had to wait upwards of at least half an hour to an hour before being seen.
