Hit and miss for me! Grew experience with my child's pediatrician, whom we were trying out for the first time, but decided to stick with him. Absolutely wondering with kids! Made us feel like a doctor with a soul who cares for their patients. Except the front desk staff were impatient! Then, I went to the main hospital on Mt. Auburn....front office, excellent. Administration staff, who record(ed) first-time visit to the hospital, wonderful too! Personable! Oh! The woman who did my blood work --Horrendous! She persistently dismissed my being combatively (and I hate to say this about a Black given the racial connotations loaded onto us), but she showed complete disregard for me and cut me off when I tried to speak. She was thoroughly dismissive of what I said, even when she pretended she wanted to apologize (to protect her job). I tried to explain to her that I wanted to prepare her for my squeamish behavior when getting shots so she didn't feel daunted by a grown woman screaming over shots . I also tried explaining that I always try to create a safe space with new social interactions. I also get excited when I meet another black woman like me in practices where they are very rare --particularly true where I live! Plus, considering that black women's health is statistically underprioritized and mostly neglected, having a black medic attend to me boosts my hopes of "being seen, heard, and attended to with courtesy"; how wrong! This woman/lab tech was awful! She focused on reminding me she's been doing this work for umpteen years, and nobody has ever complained about her, "I'm very nice." I tried to explain to her, as a teacher, kids are not all the same, and I do not treat kids the same." Oh! She decided to explain my profession to me, like she knows it better, "That's a classroom. It's different...kids are not going anywhere..." Anyway, nothing was left for me but to tell her, "Have a great day!" read more

Emergency Room Medical staff was thorough but with only 2 docs won duty the waits between tests and response was very long. Sadly, nursing care was neglectful. During a five hour stay for a fall with head injury and broken rib, vitals were taken only at intake. Despite an elevated BP on intake, monitors were disconnected when the patient was transported for the first CT test and never reconnected. There were no nursing rounds or check ins, and there are no care or discharge notes in the myChart. Discharge did not include a review of care and treatment plan. Simply, here are your instructions (15 pages of notes)you can go now.) read more

These place will never fail to be the worst ED to exist. It was 1240a, and there were these teen girls being so loud and no one checking it. The waiting area smells like pee, and the receptionists always seem to make things difficult. We spent 5 mins discussing my 17 year old daughter, not having her ID. The nurse who helped her was nice, but let's talk about unsafe practices. No gloves were used. The cart that she was putting my daughters blood tubes on and needles she was about to use had a drop of blood on it, and she only cleaned the drop of blood using an alcohol wipe. I work in a hospital, and she should have bleached it. The least could have been to lay down one of those pads. I asked a nurse for an update, and she said she'd check with attitude cause she repeated, "I said I'll check," when I added a question to my inquiry. She indeed never checked. I asked the nurse if our results for lab were in, and she said yea, but we have to wait on the Dr. Why do these waits be so long for them to come tell you anything is beyond me. read more

Unfortunately the staff is burnt out and is losing their empathy for patients. Probably more a reflection of modern medicine than Mount Auburn. read more

I needed help and I was sent to the ER department. I was admitted quickly, the ER doctor saw me in 40 minutes, the surgeon attended to my needs in 1 and a half hours. Everyone was really kind and I felt they genuinely cared for me. Yes, the ER is not fancy but it is not why I am there. I give 5 stars for the care I received. read more

On June 18, 2025 I went to the Mount Auburn Hospital Emergency Room for an injury concern I was anxious about. From the moment I arrived to my time with the doctor who treated me, I was well taken care of and treated wonderfully and respectfully by every single staff person I encountered: at patient check in/registration, Noni - who was extremely kind and lovely and very soothing to my anxiety; the Nursing care while waiting to be seen by the doctor, Chloe Wright and Maggie Buyuk - who were both profoundly thorough and attentive to ensuring I felt ok and added calm to my anxiety, they went above and beyond in their patient care, and were so pleasant and wonderful; and then to the doctor who treated and diagnosed me, Dr. Todd Thomsen - who was incredibly through with my concerns and alleviated all worry with a quick diagnosis and even follow up recommendations for an additional issue related to the reason I was in the E.R. - he was so generous with his attention to my injuries and concerns, a doctor who clearly cares about his patients whole health assessment. I was so relieved to receive such outstanding and immediate care at this ER. We all know how disastrous the healthcare system is these days and how overburdened healthcare professionals are but I only received wonderful care at this hospital. Grateful for all of you who assisted me! Again, Thank you! read more

I had the great misfortune of arriving at the Mount Auburn Hospital emergency room on May 9 (2025). The horror of the experience I had there almost defies language. From start to finish, all the personnel, without exception, treated me like an inmate in the basement of some supermax prison who had to be shut up, shut in, and shut down. They showed the most astounding incompetence and medical incaution I have ever seen. I knew it was going to be awful when they got my name and date of birth wrong after I was stretchered in, and they failed repeatedly to change this information when I specifically tried to correct it. Of course, they later accused me of "lying" when the wrong information caused the very problems I told them it would. They did the opposite of what my out-patient provider instructed them to do. They eventually injected me with drugs to which I'm allergic, despite the clear and stern warning my provider made to them in real time (not to mention my own), and that were totally irrelevant to and ineffective for the reason I was in the emergency room. Every time I tried to seek attention and explain my urgent needs, they shooed me away like an animal and, near midnight, called in "security" needlessly to have me violently forced onto the bed, injected with contraindicated drugs, and locked overnight in the room without water and without any means of communication, even though my emergency had not been addressed at all (in fact, their actions, and inactions, had made it vastly more acute). Worst of all, I had Nurse Marianne Bonanno assigned to me, and she behaved towards me, from the first word, with more contempt, rage, and medical disregard than I have ever known from any supposed professional in my life. Right before she had me drugged and locked in the room overnight, she mocked me in front of the other staff, laughed at me, screamed at me, and then snarled, "Unfortunately, we have to deal with you until the morning!" As they forced me onto the bed, they scraped my arm, leaving me bleeding without bandages for many hours. Their thuggish bouncer, technically a "security guard," earlier had decided to snatch away the stool in the room they'd put me in because, in his words, "this ain't no hotel, man." I hadn't even been using it, but by then I'd wanted to and had every right to do so under their own policies and noticed that all the other rooms had stools, some of them in use. He did it purely to intimidate me and to make me less inclined to assert my critical care needs. This place should be investigated and cleaned out. They should assemble and train a new emergency room crew and then disband the current one. I'm utterly appalled by what they did to me. Do everything possible to avoid ending up at Mount Auburn Hospital. read more

I absolutely love Mt. Auburn Hospital. I've now had two surgeries there, cancer treatment and everything in between. The staff is experienced, kind and attentive - including the doctors, nurses, techs, support staff and front desk. I feel very fortunate to have this high quality facility in my area that feels like a community hospital but has the credibility and experience of the big city hospitals. read more

1 star is an overrated review. Dirty, unprofessional and is an all day event. I have never seen a hospital ER so poorly run! The administration should be ashamed. I have been to hospitals all over the country and worked in an ER, avoid this place at all cost. read more

Very poor hospital. Through no fault of my own I recently became homeless and all this hospital gave me was somewhere to sleep for a few days. On day of discharge the doctor in charge didn't notify me of what was going on. I went in with pneumonia and left with the same Chronic cough is worse now. Totally incompetent staff just sucking off the insurance company. Stay away - you will not get medical help here!! read more

Mount Auburn saved my husband's life. The doctors and nurses are all so kind, generous, compassionate, and very, very thorough and competent. I love everyone at ICU, ER, and the sixth floor patient rooms. I encountered so many wonderful medical staff there. I am deeply grateful and appreciative. Than you so much for everything you do! read more

This hospital has saved my life multiple times. They are an incredibly, ridiculously busy city hospital and you will not get the fast service that you will get at a rural or suburban hospital because they are constantly understaffed and overextended. You will not get the detailed service either. Even with the huge ER expansion there are not enough beds, the waiting room is too small, shift changes are frequent, etc etc etc. They see absolutely everything here and all at once. They are out to keep people alive and that is literally it. The fact that many providers there are still genuinely caring about their patients is remarkable. The fact that other providers are just moving through an assembly line making sure that everyone is still breathing is understandable. The problem is not with Mount Auburn. The problem is with the failure of American society to provide reasonable healthcare for everyone. There are still a large part of Americans minds that see physical illness and ailments as moral failures. Until we as a society rise up and demand universal healthcare for all, and fund everyones care equally, you will still see ERs taking every shortcut that they possibly can so that they can rush to the next patient and make sure that they are also breathing. The parking fees are ridiculous though. read more

Do NOT go to the ER here if having a mental health crisis. Find a hospital that has a better approach on how to hold patients who are waiting for a bed at psych hospital. It is Alice in Wonderland level in there - you or your loved one with come out far worse mentally then you went in. This pains me to write. This was the hospital of my youth and all my kids were born there. But their handling of a mental health situation has really soured me. read more

This review is for the director of Hematology. She dismissed me immediately and claimed that my test results must be a side effect from a medication I hadn't even started yet. When I told her I hadn't started it yet, she said the result might be a fluke. When I presented evidence that it has been a consistent finding over the past year or so, she assumed it was due to an autoimmune condition. Tested it again and the result was in the normal range, so she sent me back to my gp, but then it was consistently low over multiple timepoints over the next year, so gp sent me back. She ordered additional tests. Some were abnormal, but she said that was likely due to lab error, and others didn't come back until after the appointment and she never followed up despite receiving a message from me. Essentially she sent me back to my gp again and insinuated in the notes that I am overreacting due to having anxiety. Do better. Also, if the appointment is scheduled for 8 am, the waiting room should be open at 7:45 am. They didn't turn on the lights or check in patients until 8:05 am. Ridiculous. read more

Five months now still injured and received no help from the ER. I understand that is ok what they did but someone in a grievance office that takes Medicare complaints said that is all inexcusable how the entire dept was so mean and outspoken yelling at me. And the exam someone said they did what exam I did not have any exam. I have some names of a dr and a PA that supposedly in my record but I do want to be sure of names whoever was involved with my ER visit that time as I am taking action and filing with agencies as again I received the worse care ever and again they will face something I hope as I have many ways to take action on their lack of care. The nerve also to charge for my visit when they did nothing oh knee xray they probably only did that so be able to get money off my insurance yet they refused to give me an MRI as quote er doctor said that is expensive yet I am fully covered so why he could even say that to me you treat homeless people better than a fully insured person. I hope all of you at the Mt. Auburn Hospital are proud of what you do as you deserve no praise from me and others if trying to go to anything there I would think twice and head into any of the Boston Hospitals you will be glad you did when you really need qualified doctors and good care. At Mt. Auburn you will not ever get that. Even the lab was bad what is going on not paying people enough they claim short staffed do they wonder why no one wants to work there. Also, I saw I can share my reviews with social media I cannot wait to do that warn so many others to not go here if you can avoid it. Go to Boston Hospitals. read more

They may want to educate their shuttle bus drivers to be respectful to people picking up patients out front. We are told to wait out front and then get berated by the elderly bus driver, 5/24, noon. There are no NO PARKING signs but this driver decided to berate me because I'm a female. Disgusting really. We pay a lot of money to this hospital. He would never treat a man in such a manner. Suggest some training. read more

horrible experience after trying to clarify a bill I received in the mail with the financial counselors they have. The financial counselor seem to be upset that I was calling in the first place. I guess the breast center uses a third-party radiologist company and I received a bill in the mail which should have been sent to my insurance company . After an hour on hold trying to reach this third-party. I was finally able to resolve the issue unclear why they didn't have access to the insurance information I provided at registration overall very poor experience a very sour taste in my mouth. Shame on this hospital for using such poor third-party vendors read more

Oh and some of the ER nurses are super rude and unprofessional. I can't believe they actually work there. I hope human resources sees this cause their behavior is unacceptable to say the least. And they have flying cockroaches/ water bugs that are like 3 inches long in their ER. Pease be aware folks!!!. You've been warned. If this place could get 0 stars, that's why they'd get!! And they need to keep it cleaned and sanitary at all times. From the waiting area to the bathrooms !! read more

I used to love this hospital. This has been my primary care hospital since 2005. I don't know when they were acquired by Beth Israel Lahey but it's gone downhill ever since. In the past when I called my doctor's office I got straight through to the receptionists who were actually there at the office. Now there's an answering service. The person I'm speaking to now (after going through the phone tree and sitting on hold listening to insipid music) doesn't work at the hospital, she works remotely. I'm still giving it 3 stars because the doctors and nurses there are wonderful. But the customer service is terrible now. I'm so sad that Mt. Auburn went this way. For-profit medicine is horrifying. read more

The ER staff is deplorable! As well as the HR staff whom I reported my grievances to, they did NOTHING about my concerns. Just excuses. No solutions. Yet, HR admitted the ER staff committed a HIPPA breach but it's apparently "No Big Deal" at Mt. Auburn. No! That's a VERY BIG DEAL! Please see picture below: They wanted me to walk on this VERY floor under the influence of narcotics, (That they gave me) unattended, and didn't even give me the slip resistant socks. I was there for back pain. I'm having surgery next week. I was there almost a month ago. Since they sent me home "With a handful of Percocet" and I quote the MD who saw me in the ER. I been in bed since the day I discharged. I wanted answers, NOT narcotics! So since were in a Covid pandemic, I guess we forgot that there's an opioid epidemic going on as well right? Right! So I could've fell on these nasty floors, and left with a bigger problem than I came in with! Not to mention, do you think the condition of this floor is acceptable during a COVID pandemic? I would say NO! The ER nurses are rude, lazy, and could benefit from weight loss surgery. Or perhaps not worry so much about "What's for lunch" like they were the day I was there! Don't waste your time, this place is unprofessional. They do not take US patients seriously. We are just a ICD-10 code, and a paycheck to them. Lack of patient care, and empathy. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE! I gave them a chance to deal with this internally, and they decided to call me back with a bunch of excuses, and again NOT ONE solution! I plan on reporting them to the medical board for HORRIBLE patient care, AND a HIPPA breach. Since they gave me ANOTHER patients discharge papers! Fresh pond animal hospital would be a more suitable place for a HUMAN in that part of town. DIVERT TO ANY OTHER HOSPITAL THAN THIS ONE! By the looks of this floor, you got a 99.9% chance of catching COVID. Stay safe! read more

Even 1 star is far too generous. This is a terrible hospital and it seems like many others feel the same way. I was a patient here for years in the Oncology Department. I had a doctor that unbeknown to me was the subject of numerous complaints and was eventually pushed out by the hospital. I then got passed to another doctor who is now the Chief of Hematology and considered a genetic specialist. Don't be fooled by that. She too is an awful doctor. Actually the better description for her would be a dangerous doctor. Ignoring lab work, ignoring patient complaints, copying and pasting notes from the previous doctor. There are some good doctors there but why take a chance. If you need a doctor, the ER, surgery, procedures, etc then go to Boston. It could end up saving your life. I have since changed all my doctors, including my primary so that I don't have to deal with Mount Auburn ever again. Just awful. read more

The below details a troubling experience my wife and I endured on April 2, 2024 at Mount Auburn Hospital's Phlebotomy department. After our newborn baby's first pediatrician appointment on 4/1/24, my wife and I were instructed to go get blood work done for the baby to identify status of jaundice condition. My understanding is that this blood work needs to be done at a hospital because newborn's blood clots fast and testing needs to be completed quickly. My wife and I arrived at Mount Auburn at approximately 10:45 am on April 2, 2024 with our six (6) day old baby. After visiting the registration department, we checked into the phlebotomy department at 11:00 am. After waiting approximately one (1) hour, my wife asked the Mount Auburn phlebotomy technician what the estimated wait time was going to be since we had been waiting about one (1) hour already. With attitude yet without answering the customary question posed by my wife, the technician looked at my wife and said "You know you don't have to do this blood work today." My wife informed the technician that the pediatrician wanted the test done today as the baby was already scheduled for a follow up appointment in less than forty eight (48) hours. The technician then said to my wife, "You're his mother, you can make that call." Therefore placing my wife in a terrible state of guilt and confusion. My wife - who has just undergone an intense surgery in order to have this baby safely - was absolutely shocked and distressed with the nasty attitude and unresponsive answers given by this technician. My wife began to cry in the middle of the waiting room. Other patients were shocked and spoke up to the technician and the other female phlebotomy technician working that day who was also not helpful. After waiting another twenty minutes, I went back up to the check in desk and asked again about when my newborn baby would be seen. My wife and I had observed other patients being taken in for blood work who had arrived and checked-in AFTER us. This observation was confirmed when I went up to speak with the technicians again at the check-in counter and saw the check-in paperwork and other patients being serviced before us. The technicians had to look backwards to find my baby's registration sticker. Again, without directly answering my question about timing, the other female technician said "We'll be right with you." After waiting another ten minutes, the female technician came out and placed a foot warmer on my baby's foot and said "we'll take him in ten minutes." This did not happen. Another thirty minutes went by without us being seen and having other patients being serviced before my newborn baby. During this additional thirty minute wait, other patients consoled me and my upset wife - even offering for us to take their "spots" in line. Additionally, the foot warmer was not activated and warm anymore defeating its intended purpose and use. I again went up to the check-in desk to ask about timing. The female technician with the nose ring was waiting on the telephone and opened the check-in window to address me. After pleading for my baby to be serviced so we could leave, this female technician got flustered and waved me off with her hand. At this time, the other technician was shuffling paperwork by the fax machine and finally asked me for the pediatrician's blood work Order form. It was only at this time, after two hours of waiting, that this technician alleged that she could not find my baby's Order form from the pediatrician. Notwithstanding my personal suspicion and disbelief about this allegation, I handed her the tangible copy that the pediatrician gave me. I had been holding that Order form for two hours but was never asked for it by either of the technicians. We were then taken in for the blood work by one of the technicians which took longer because my baby's foot was cold and attached/taped to an inactive foot warmer at this point. I left Mount Auburn Hospital around 1:15 pm that day with a crying newborn baby and a distraught wife. I am extremely upset about this occurrence. At no point did either of the technicians treat me or my family in a professional manner. At no point did either of the technicians give us any status updates. At no point did either of the technicians sympathize or apologize for the wait. I don't know what is worse - making my wife feel guilty for following the pediatrician's direction to bring our son in for blood work OR having the technicians intentionally take other patients before us and making a newborn baby wait two hours for simply blood drawing. I believe that neither of the Mount Auburn technicians wanted to service a newborn baby. Instead, my wife and I were forced to unnecessarily expose my newborn baby to other patients coming and going from the hospital. Notably, my wife and I witnessed these two technicians giving the same poor, demeaning, and dismissive attitude to other patients during the two (2) hour wait. read more

I just went into the restroom. It was filthy. Toilet was filthy. Floor looked like it hasn't been washed in a week. Poor management

Since my routine colonoscopy on Feb 6 2024 at Mt. Auburn Hospital with Dr. Samson Ferm I have been twice billed for additional unexplained fake charges that are normally included in routine colonoscopies. They use double speak to try to justify charging out-of-pocket additional charges which are normally and routinely covered by health insurance. They lie in your face with phony explanations that don't jive. I've had two prior colonoscopies as routine over 20 years and was never charged extra bills for "diagnostics" as they lie at you. The process is entirely diagnostic and they code extra charges for examining samples that are normally inherently included. This time the office of Dr. Samson Ferm at Mt. Auburn Hospital has sent me two additional external out-of-pocket bills exceeding $200.00 with no explanation of the additional charges. They were required to accept my Medicare insurance as payment in full. It's fraud, plain and simple. Kristina in the claims department made outrageously false statements about Medicare coverage. Mt. Auburn Hospital is a rogue racket. read more

1)There are a few OK doctors we have there, but if you have complaints and write to "Patient Relations", you better have an issue that might impact them bigtime. Twice months apart, we have written them with issues, the last one regarding an exceptional employee that maybe someone could recognize. No replies in two cases. NOT EVEN THE COMMON COURTESY OF HAVING RECEIVED OUR EMAIL CONFIRMATION. The prior email went to a Kayla P. and initially she replied, but when things were brought up that she likely could not deal with - she no longer replied. The current one last week regarding an exceptional employee had no reply on two separate emails. Reply is supposed to come from " Patient Relations Coordinator, Department of Quality & Safety". Another pain is the excessive escalation of their parking fees. We have started to migrate to both Lahey Clinic and MGH due to various issues. WHO WOULD SET UP A DEPT TO ADDRESS PEOPLE'S CONCERNS AND THEN PICK AND CHOOSE WHO OR WHAT TO ANSWER? 2) The hospital, to our surprise began essentially gouging people for parking bigtime. Used to be first 30 minutes free, and then went up to $4.00, $5.00, and $6.00 depending on time there. Now it is 15 minutes free, then $8.00 for over 15 min to 3 hours! How the hell is 15 min free any use? Takes almost that long to park, go into hospital, then come back to pay machine, and to vehicle. NOTHING at Mt Auburn can be done in 15 minutes if parking, nothing at all. THEY ARE GOUGING PATIENTS BIGTIME NOW! They should be ashamed with that payment layered new system! Absolutely a disgrace!!! I went from 2 stars to one star because of the parking gouging recently discovered! read more

Went to emergency room by ambulance and was treated like I was wasting their time. I'm chronically ill so I don't take ER visits lightly - I was very afraid. I did not feel capable of standing when I first arrived and I was judged for that. I asked them to check my heart rate and was met with a blank stare. The ER nurse rolled her eyes and sighed a lot, and when I asked her not to touch me where I'm injured, she got an attitude (and proceeded to touch me where I'm injured). The physicians assistant questioned why I came in - again the paramedics deemed it appropriate. The place is also very dirty - or it just looks dirty because it's too old to be cleaned. All I wanted was to be treated respectfully. I don't understand why that's so hard for this hospital. read more

I just had a bad experience. I had an appointment this morning at primary care with Alyssa. I get there on time , got checked in , brought in to the room. They took vitals and told me to change into the gown only for the manager to come in and tell me that they don't take My insurance! This appointment was booked 6 months ago and was repeatedly reminded about it and I confirmed it various times! Why couldn't they tell me then! I made arrangements for my kids to be take care of while I went to my appointment. Wasted gas and payed for the parking garage. I could've slept in today! It's nasty out, raining , I'm so livid right now! read more

We've never had a good experience with this hospital. From my wife having a disastrous child birthing experience due to an incompetent inexperienced midwife to a terrible time scheduling routine procedures and registering, this hospital is absolutely bush league. I think with all the great hospitals in the Boston area, this one is just a forgotten step child in the Harvard system. It always seems like I'm calling a poorly run mom and pop store, not a major hospital. read more

I would love to say that my last 2 experiences at Mt Auburn Hospital were wonderful but that would be a gross exaggeration. In April I underwent a botched endoscopy that sent me to a different hospital 3 days later where I nearly died from blood loss. The bill amounted to $1,700 and after Patient Advocates spoke to the surgeon who did the endoscopy, they decided that since I'd signed the consent, they were absolved of any and all liability. To add to that, they've not sent me to collections for unpaid bills. In the 2nd surgery, I had insurance and surgeon's approval to stay the night and a nurse who just wanted to go home discharged me at 5PM. I spent a night and a day in agony before being readmitted. read more

Excellent care at Mt Auburn Cardiology dept. August 7 th. Receptionist was friendly. Head nurse got me a warm blanket as it was freezing in the hospital. I was there for a treadmill test and the nurse ( from Ukraine) used her cellular phone to play music to make my test easier to perform. Billy Ocean " Caribbean Queen" and " Sing, Sing, Sing" by Glenn Miller orchestra. Thank you so much. Cafeteria not good at all, they served ice cold side of collard greens and couldn't make grilled cheese with gluten free breads because " the cheese doesn't melt!" I was able to leave at NE entrance but people were unable to enter at that door. Seems not logical, to make an entrance one way. read more

I don't even know what to say. And honestly what to do... As a 24 y.o female I was having troubles with breathing. After 6 months of being treated like nothing, I was sent to the pulmonary. After one single PFT Bronchidilator test I was charged more the $1700. Should I mention that this is false and my insurance states that I owe only $600? Mount Auburn hasn't picked up the phone a single time for the past week to fix it. My breathing issue is still there, no diagnosis, no treatment, only a huge medical debt. read more
