North Hadley Sugar Shack is a super cute spot for snacks, syrup, drinks, quick local eats, and plants. We got treats to share with some of our friends we were meeting and we also picked up a bottle of the strawberry wine margarita (I know, right!). We shared it with friends later and we all LOVED.

Barely 1/4 cup of syrup for 3 pancakes and no butter. The result? A dry breakfast. It was an hour wait. Still has a cool factor but server was so crazy busy that she never offered more coffee. Probably best to buy a jug of the syrup next time and skip the breakfast.

If you have anything like problem teeth, beware this office, which expects patients to have at most…read moreone or two small cavities. In terms of culturally responsive practices, this dentist gets a negative score: voice dripping with sarcasm, he told me that my teeth were not something he could help me with given that my jaw is "deformed" (I have an overbite, but it's like that of most people with overbites and not exactly something that you would stop on the street and gawk over) and that my dental decay (from years of bulimia that eroded my enamel) was not something he would handle. (He said he could handle it but chose not to, almost enjoying the sense that he was denying me treatment.). Let me be clear that it's not the information this practitioner conveyed that I want to warn people about: it's the flavor of open disrespect and even shaming he felt comfortable expressing, as though having "good teeth" were a sign of moral integrity. Remarkable that in 2024 in the Pioneer Valley, there are still some medical and dental practitioners who don't consider it among their professional duties to conceal whatever prejudiced beliefs they hold about their patients' health. The ideas about dentistry lodged inside this man's head are the stuff of mid-nineteenth century England: if you were a quality or refined sort of person, you would be born with a well-aligned jaw, and if you have bad teeth, it must be that you are an essentially gross, lazy, degraded person. I had the bad luck to choose this practice at random, and now I've lost that insurance-covered visit. Shame on this practitioner, and if you have any kind of non-normative identity or dental situation, beware of this practice. Edited to add: This practitioner recommended that every single tooth be removed from my mouth. The oral surgeon refused to do this as it was too radical a treatment plan and sent me to a new dentist for a new consult because more than half of my teeth can obviously be salvaged by an unbiased practitioner willing to do the work of real dentistry. Boutique dentists should advertise themselves as boutique dentists so that real people with real human dental situations don't make the mistake of seeking treatment from them.

After having been on medication for over twelve years I was required to take a urine drug screen to…read morecontinue, though I had never previously taken one, had changed nothing about frequency or dosage over that time period. My previous doctor at HFP, who was a respectful, intelligent, good-faith partner in my health care, retired. I'd have begged him to stay but he was emotionally exhausted. Can't imagine why. I was tested for heroin, cocaine, barbiturates, fentanyl, marijuana, oxycodone, methadone and other substances. They did not itemize in advance the things they were testing me for - I found out on the results. They tested for weed. Which is none of their business. Go for it, guys. You own my body. You don't need a search warrant. You aren't the government. You can just blackmail me for my health needs. I can only assume that this information will eventually be used to deny me insurance for one reason or another. I just discovered I now owe six hundred dollars for the privilege of carrying a bottle of my own urine down a hallway in full view of other patients to prove that I am not a heroin addict. Passed with flying colors, everyone. I haven't done an interesting drug since 1995 and have never been addicted to anything but cigarettes, which I quit, ages ago, like everyone else. Interestingly, they don't check for cigarettes, which are as addictive as anything, and have quite a bit of historical data supporting their lethal effects. Great news, it is completely fine with whatever corporate behemoth now controls HFP if you smoke cigarettes. Perhaps I should start. They also neglected to mention the $600 insult that awaited me. I guess they thought that was best left unsaid. Honestly, they were probably right on that one. (If you're curious what phenyclidine is - it's on the report on the image, that would be PCP. They tested me for PCP. I am paying $600 for a completely unnecessary test that established that I do not take PCP.) I'm stuck with them, because it is my responsibility to myself and my family to do what it takes to get mental health care. I came very close to not doing it, but I need ADHD medicine to function. When I questioned the requirement, I was told 'everyone is treated the same way' to which I would respond 'Yes, but shouldn't no one be treated like a criminal if there is no evidence they are a criminal other than that they are living their lives?' But I cannot say this, because they will note on the charts that I am 'difficult' - they probably already did - and things will be worse. So here is the result of this: I am in my fifties. Will I get a mammogram? No. Will I get a colonoscopy? No. Will I get a pap smear? You have got to be kidding. Not in a million years. Will I submit to any regular testing of any kind? No. If I have a fever of a 103, will I call them? No. If my appendix bursts, I'll go to the hospital. If I break my arm, I'll go to the hospital. If I get the flu and have a fever for four days, I'll take Nyquil and drink orange juice and suck it up and hope I don't die and if I get close enough to dying, I hope my partner will take me to the hospital. "Parole officers" are not doctors. I hate the medical care I get, and I hate that I can't get better, and I miss Peter Weitzman, a respectful and compassionate doctor. Those don't exist anymore. Oh, and the benzos on the report? Oh my yes. I had to take a Xanax just to get in their doorway. I'm not playing whack-a-mole hunting through the cabled-together conglomerate of a nationally terrible health care system try to put a glass slipper on the kind of doctor that no longer exists. I am clearly emotionally not ready, and you can't call and ask 'do you treat patients like criminals?' because that marks you ask a drug-seeker. This isn't obeying in advance. It's obeying because I have no other options available. Giving them two stars because the techs are kind and competent, the front desk is friendly, and you never have to wait too long to see someone.

My doctor is leaving, there are other doctors at the practice who are taking new patients, but they will not allow any of my doctor's patients to stay with the practice.

The disrespect for patients is just beyond the pale, and especially so in an area that has a shortage of doctors and it's really hard to find a new one.
