I received no less than 6 emails and texts to remind me of the appointment and to pay the copay, which I prepaid online. After I left work early and waited 1.5 hr at BMC, someone came to tell me that they cannot see me today because they did not receive the images from my prior mammogram, and I needed to reschedule. You couldn't have told me that 1.5 hr ago? I could've contacted the other clinic within the last 1.5 hr to have them send the images over. Whose responsibility is it to get the images? When I booked the appointment, I made sure to tell them my original mammogram was from another clinic. No one followed up with me. No one asked me to sign a release. They sure sent me enough reminders to get their money though. When I asked for my money back, I had to wait to "talk to the manager." They could not give me my money back, but told me to call the 800 number for BMC's billing dept. No, thank you! I'm not wasting any more of my time with BMC. I just disputed the charge with my credit card. This is not the standard of care that I would expect even at a small local rundown hospital, let alone what they claim they are at BMC. If you are looking for a high standard of care and a team that follows up and follows through, BMC is not it. My husband also had many bad experiences with BMC making appointments in the wrong department and cancelling on him without notice. When you are dealing with cancer or potential cancer patients, it doesn't seem to matter to them. Time is not of the essence. As long as they get their money, they're all good. Do yourself a favor. Go somewhere else. There are much better hospitals in Boston.

I've been a patient in the South End office since the last week of 2014. My PCP was a young man…read morenamed Dr Shi for the 1st year before he moved to SF. I have 7 herniated discs, 3 vertebrae compression fracture, no cartilage in my shoulders, wrists, or thumbs due to degenerative joint disease, and my mobility is extremely limited. Just getting from bed to the bathroom to the living room is a challenge every day. I am disabled, but was turned down for disability multiple times. That is not Fenway's fault. My PCP since has been a Dr named Ethan Brackett. With my sister's help, I started driving for Uber, then Grubhub, and now Lyft to support myself, but due to such limited mobility, I cannot work full-time. My physical therapy was managed poorly for almost a year and a half before I just stopped going. Getting there was too physically demanding for me and there seemed no chance at receiving help any other way. My pain has been managed with cyclobenzaprine (flexerall) which does not help me, does not increase mobility either. It only causes me to be too tired to drive, so I don't take it regularly. I was given Gabapentin which made me physically ill and didn't increase my mobility nor did it decrease my pain levels. The third medicine prescribed was Tramadol, which seems to be the lowest level of an opiate. Tramadol doesn't negate pain, but it does improve my mobility by about 5 to 10%, which is enough for me to get out of the house. My pain level is at a level 10 constantly, in every moment, which numerous shots of adrenaline due to constant shots of pain able to take a normal person to the ground. Doing basics like getting dressed, putting on and taking off clothes, leaving the house, and running even the most basic errands takes energy out of me to the point of not being able to move at some point during the day. Some days, I never make it out of the house. Also, I cannot sleep as moving at all shoots pain out of my shoulders, and the increased levels of adrenaline make it difficult to relax my mind and body enough to sleep. I've managed my pain via meditation for years, averaging less than 2 pills per day for over 7 years. However, in the last 6 months or so, I have taken more tramadol to get me to be able to move to sustain even the lowest levels of self-sustainability. I have asked for a stronger medication countless times, and the only answer I get is to take gabapentin, which makes me sick. The only sense I get is a sense of self-preservation and cover their own ass for Dr Brackett, Dr Shi previously, and the recent classless, condescending, combative Dr. Jatinder Gill of the Arnold Warfield Pain Center. Because of my age and ability to earn in the past, it seems I qualify for nothing that can help me, and despite referring me to an advocate, and a financial services advocate, these people have only emailed lists I could readily find on the internet. Are there any doctors out there who actually care about the patient's best interest instead of just pawning the patient off of on someone else once their pain level reaches an insane level which makes it difficult to live? About calling and communicating with Doctor's through the patient portal, about making appointments and connecting different people with information throughout my care, Fenway South End has been good. The people there may be overwhelmed, but they take care of me and my past requests as soon as they can. They do so in a pleasant manner. They are really smiley, but I understand the stress they are under, so I am patient and kind and appreciate all of their hard work. This is why I rated Fenway South End a 3 star review. They are not horrible, but I certainly don't feel I have a doctor who is really ready to help me. I feel like I am getting a big stiff arm as long as I am in pain and as long as I am not completely incapacitated.

I've been going to Dimock my whole life. It's your average community health center…read more Pediatrics (when I used to go) was ok, but the doctor's do talk to children about their weight pretty aggressively; I always hated that. Adult Medicine is so-so. I've had some good PCP's but the sad thing is that they always leave. I've had 4 PCP's in maybe 2 years or less. Very few doctors there stick around. The wait time to be seen can be pretty crazy too. Late appointments go faster. OB/GYN is really good. It can take awhile for you to get an appointment if you have an urgent health issue since they only really give those to pregnant women. But they will advise you over the phone about what to do until your appointment. Most of the doctor's are very nice, I prefer the nurse practitioners though, they seem more friendly. The wait time doesn't take long and neither does the visit. Dental is a hassle and I gave up after trying to book an appointment after I got x-rays done (one appointment just for that). I'd go somewhere else for dental. I haven't been to eye care as an adult so I don't know how they are. The pharmacy is efficient. They don't usually run out of meds and have to order them like CVS and Walgreens do. They're pretty fast if you call them in. A bit of a weight if you see the doctors upstairs and they send the prescription down electronically, but still not bad. They don't take outside prescriptions though from from a provider thats not at dimock. The Mental Health dept. is horrible! Rude psychiatrists that just give you whatever medication they want to try that month. And the therapist are aloof and start to be judgmental if you see them for too long. Go to Arbour for mental health. I'll be returning for regular exams ( mostly just OB/GYN and Adult Medicines) and some of my prescriptions are there, but if I want better care I go to Beth Israel, its their affiliate hospital.

I stopped going to Fenway Health because they were just awful in the past 5 years, so I switched to Atrius and I'm happy. I like how you can bop into another location for bloodwork if you need to. The pharmacy has been helpful, but they don't deliver refrigerated meds. Fenway used to put a cold pack in the package and deliver it. Otherwise, I'm very happy here and have been treated very well.

My experience with the orthopedics department was extremely upsetting and disappointing. I was…read morealready anxious about the appointment, and the way I was spoken to by multiple staff members made the experience significantly worse--to the point that I ended up crying. When I arrived, I was told by the woman at the front desk that I needed to go to X-ray. I was confused because I had been told I was getting an MRI, so I simply asked for clarification about why X-rays were needed. Instead of explaining, the staff member repeatedly told me, "You need to go to X-rays," in a very dismissive and condescending manner. She then directed me to the wrong location, which left me even more frazzled. When I returned and explained that I had been sent to the wrong place, she looked at me as though I had said something completely unreasonable and responded again in an unnecessarily condescending tone. Unfortunately, the experience did not improve when I reached the X-ray department. Another woman from the orthopedics office came in and spoke to me very harshly about the fact that my referral was only for one knee, even though I had explained that I was experiencing problems with both knees. She abruptly told me that because the referral was for only one knee, that was the only knee they would address that day. I understand that there may be policies or referral requirements that staff need to follow. My issue was not with the policy--it was with the unnecessarily rude and brash way the information was communicated to me. At that point, I was so upset that I nearly walked out of the appointment altogether. Thankfully, there were a couple of kind and helpful people in the X-ray department who treated me with respect and were essentially the reason I stayed. Overall, I was extremely disappointed by the lack of basic courtesy, empathy, and professionalism I experienced from multiple members of the orthopedics staff. Patients coming into an orthopedic office may already be in pain, nervous, or worried about what is wrong. Asking a reasonable question should not result in being spoken down to or made to feel like a nuisance. I want to make clear that Dr. McCarthy was not part of this negative experience. My concerns are specifically with the interactions I had with other members of the orthopedics staff. I left feeling embarrassed, overwhelmed, and in tears. No patient should be made to feel that way simply for asking questions and trying to understand their care. The customer service and manner in which I was treated were unacceptable, and I sincerely hope this feedback is addressed.
