AVOID INCOMPETENCE!…read more If you're expecting competent and professional care do all you can to avoid MorningStar Healing Arts. My mother needed an urgent cancer biopsy. After Dr. Aja Morningstar agreed to accept her as a new patient I explained this to her. We trusted her office assistant (her name is pronounced "Ja-Knight") to get the information Dr. Morningstar's office is supposed to relay to Assante Hospital's Interventional Radiology Dept. (I.R.) so we could have the biopsy done that had been scheduled. The day Before the appointment Assante's I.R. Dept. called us to cancel the appointment because Dr. Morningstar's office - Jiknight specifically - who was responsible for providing I.R. an updated order with an authentication code (and other info.) FAILED to do so. I spoke to two employees at Assante's I.R. department, Colleen and Beth who informed me that after repeated efforts they had been unable to obtain a proper "Updated Order with authentication code" and that is the reason my mom's appointment was cancelled. Instead of correcting her employee, apologizing to us and immediately correcting the matter Aja felt I needed a lecture about how my "Expectations of how the medical profession operated differed from reality" instead of an apology for her employee's negligence in handling the matter. Aja would not let me get a word in edgewise so she could rush to her pre-scripted Big Finale: "So you'll have to find yourself another Dr.". Had she done so I would have told her to stop trying to cover-up her employee's negligent handling of the matter and actually help get the mess her office created fixed. Apparently, Dr, Aja Morningstar was more concerned with covering potential liability instead of being concerned about the wellbeing of my 84 year old mother-with possible cancer. They could of - at minimum - told us they couldn't get the Updated Order and other info. to the I.R. Dept. before they let I.R. cancel the appointment. We could have rescheduled it. But, as I said supra, they were evidently more concerned with not looking negligent. AVOID INCOMPETENCE!

Me and my son had Aja for primary care. Aja went on meternity leave, and Howard (her dad) took over…read moreher patients care at that time. My son was going through a hardship at the time. During his first appointment with Howard morningstar, Howard was talking to ME, and I guess my TEENAGER unbeknownst to me, started messing around on his phone (shocking that a teenager would do such a thing right?!).. Dr morningstar noticed before I did, and found it appropriate to abruptly say something along the lines of: "does he usually just sit there on his phone when people are discussing him?" When I attempted to tell my son to please put his phone away, to which my son did, Dr morningstar felt the need to fire off again saying something like: "No that's ok, let him continue staring at his phone like no one is discussing him.. and we'll pretend like he's not here I guess". I attempted to apologize to Dr morningstar, but my apology went unacknowledged. I was left in disbelief. I understand Howard Morningstar prefering my son put his phone away, BUT the way he went about it was completely inappropriate and unprofessional. I was very reluctant to take my son back to Howard. I was relieved when Aja came back, and I made my sons next appointment with her.... But unfortunately it gets worse... Upon my son's first in-person appointment with Aja, she was talking to me, then out of the blue, she actually had the audacity to rudely ask me this: "does he (referring to my son) always just sit there and stare?" I probably had a look of disbelief on my face, because she quickly dismissed her snotty remark and moved on. And Keep in mind this is a kid going through a hard time as it is, then to have "doctors" treat him like this at his appointments.... I have no words for how low they are! It's not right. I wish very badly I would have just took my kid and walked out!. I could say more about some other unfavorable things I encountered with them, but they are minor details in comparison to the bigger picture. So I feel I have said enough. I hope that by making this review I save another parent/child from having to go through such an utterly disgusting experience as the one we had with these people..

Our mother, who has dementia, sees Dorothy. She likes her a lot and has had some improvement in…read moresome of her symptoms such as depression. My low rating is more about the practice's policies than Dorothy per se. But here is what happened: At the last visit, no cognitive test was performed. Dorothy asked our mother how her memory has been, our mother lied and said it was better. (The caregiver with our mom did not feel it was right to correct our mother in front of her, understandably, as this enrages her, and anyone working with dementia knows that it isn't helpful to contradict her version of reality). My sister and I scheduled a meeting with Dorothy to give her a reality check about our mom, and we were told that since our mother won't be present and her insurance won't cover that (understandable) we'd have to pay $240 for a half an hour of Dorothy's time. That seems unreasonable, I mean, how many people can afford that much out of pocket? (Dementia is already a very expensive disease to manage without extra costs like this.) We asked if we could email her instead and were told there would be a charge for that, too. I've never heard of charging that much for a nurse practitioner to meet about a patient, especially one with diminished capacities. There must be a way to foster important communications about incapacitated patients without charging high fees, but this practice doesn't seem interested enough in making that happen. We are only trying to get information about our mom to her medical team so she can get better care. A different medical practitioner of our mom's in Medford met with me and my sister for an hour and didn't charge us. I know of many doctors nowadays who include emails between them and their patients at no extra charge. I've been interviewed for 2 hours about my mom by her homeopath, and rather than charge me, he thanked me profusely for taking the time to help him do a better job.
