I've been searching for real help for over 10 years, and I don't say this lightly when I say that…read moremeeting Carina O'Neill truly changed something in me. Over the years, I've seen countless doctors, specialists, and pain clinics. I've had just about every injection you can imagine. What stood out to me before I even met her was that multiple doctors, all from different buildings and institutions, independently told me the same thing, "If anyone can help you, it's her." That alone says everything. From the moment I met Dr. O'Neill at Spaulding in Braintree, I felt something I haven't felt in a very long time... I truly felt seen. She didn't rush me. She didn't talk over me. She didn't treat me like a chart, a case, or a number. She treated me like a human being who has been carrying pain for a very long time. Her empathy was immediate and genuine. She spoke to me gently, listened fully, and truly validated everything I've been experiencing for years. The injections themselves were unlike anything I've ever had, and that's saying a lot. (I've had hundred maybe even thousands of injections over the years) She was able to inject in places no other doctor has ever addressed, areas I didn't even realize could be treated because no one else had the experience or confidence to go there. I felt relief right away, and in the days following I've noticed slow, meaningful progress, the kind of progress that brings real hope. But more than the physical relief, what has stayed with me is knowing that she truly cares. I can tell that no matter what, she will do everything in her power to help me. That kind of care is rare. After a decade of feeling dismissed, minimized, or overlooked, she made me feel like a person again. I now completely understand why she's talked about the way she is, why doctors across New England know her name, and why she's the one they send their hardest cases to. One visit was enough to see it clearly. Carina O'Neill is extraordinary. Without question, Carina O'Neill has put Spaulding Rehabilitation in Braintree on the map. I am beyond grateful I found my way to her, and for the first time in years, I feel hopeful.

Full disclosure: this review is about Donna VanHelene, 0T (occupational therapist) at Spaulding…read morerehabilitation. Donna designs, crates and fits custom, silver ring splints. These help people with a CTD, connective tissue disorder, like my Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. They prevent my fingers from hyperextending and eventually dislocating. Donna VanHelene has the knowledge, skill and patience to design each custom finger brace with the TLC it needs. Then, during follow up visits, she will adjust and refit the custom hand braces as needed. THE DEAL: If you have a CTD, like me, Donna can help address, and hopefully reduce, pain in your hands and wrists!

Let me get started by saying that this staff is beyond ignorant. I was stuck doing exercises and…read morethey did not time me or tell me how long to do them.

I chose to come to Kennedy Bros in Braintree because it was right next to my office. Rich was…read moreincredibly nice and welcoming. Even though I wasn't there for the physical therapy, he even gave me some pointers while I was doing my workout. This gym is incredibly affordable, and is so convenient for someone who just needs a treadmill, locker, and shower close to the office. Great for me, but maybe not for someone who wants a luxurious gym with super fancy equipment and lots of classes. No surprise fees like you would find in Boston. And no need to get in shape before coming here; everyone is at a completely different level.

I had tried heating pads and ointments but was reluctant to try medication so I took a shot at acupuncture. My chronic back pain was relieved after only a few treatments. Dana takes time to review your medical history and listen to your concerns. During my treatments she intuitively addressed other issues she identified. When my allergies started acting up, she focused on those as well. You leave feeling refreshed and energized. Maybe similar to a good massage without the discomfort. I have recommended her services to others and they always come back to thank me and praise her success.

I've been seeing Dana for about a year, and my experience with her has been fantastic. I'm so glad…read moreI've found such a talented and helpful acupuncturist nearby. I first came to Dana looking for help with fertility as well as stress management and some other related symptoms. I'd had acupuncture to support getting pregnant with my first baby, and after trying for several months unsuccessfully this time around, I decided it was time to add it in. After just about 3 months of treatment (which is the timeframe that is typically expects for acupuncture to affect these things), I was pregnant! I then continued to see Dana throughout my pregnancy -- in support of a healthy pregnancy, to help with symptoms like morning sickness, and to manage a number of ailments that came up during. Frankly, I've had a complicated year for health, and Dana's treatment and support has been a godsend. She's offered recommendations for diet changes and vitamins (never in a remotely pushy way) that have made a real difference for me. Over the past ten years or so, I've seen a number of different acupuncturists, all with slightly different approaches and styles. Dana is absolutely the real deal and very talented. I highly recommend her and am grateful to continue to see her to support my own health and well-being.

I was referred to visit Dr. Elman for my neck, elbow, and shoulder pain. He scheduled 2…read moreappointments for me in a month. Today, I received a text message and was told that I owe a balance even after my Medicare and supplement insurance paid for it. The woman in the conversation with me raised her voice after I explained to her that I have a supplement and that my bill was paid in full. Then she started to yell and scream at me for more than 3 minutes, non-stop, because I asked if she could contact my insurance for explanations. She was very rude, and I told her to file a lawsuit for that amount because I don't think I am responsible for it with all my insurance coverage. After I hung up and I contacted my Insurance company, and it took them about half an hour to search my file and communicate with Medicare at the same time. Then he found out that the charge for the add-in was an extra fee for an unknown service that Medicare and Humana refused to pay for the inflated outstanding balance. Beware of this health care practice. I am going to find another trustworthy doctor and will never go back to him again.
