However, she spent most of the session concerned with my BMI (mostly ignoring my poor mental health, the pandemic, and despite acknowledging my active lifestyle including lifting). She relies on outdated science, telling me to not eat eggs because of the cholesterol, even though that has been debunked for several years now. After body shaming me, she THEN asked if I had a history of eating disorders. If you're completely healthy she's probably fine, but overall it was the worst experience I've had at Harvard Vanguard. She is an older doctor, which unfortunately should have been the first sign despite the ethical obligation to remain updated on new science.

I was looking for a female primary doctor who actually care about me and…read moretake time to listen to my health concern for annual check up. I signed up with Dr. Wagner because it is close to my house and I am glad that I did! I went through few primary doctors until I found Dr. Wagner. I don't think I will not change to other primary doctors anymore. Compare to other primary physicians, she really pays attentions to me and I am very please with her kindness. The other day, I had a question about over the counter medication, so I send an email to her and she called me back within 15 min or so after I send an email. It was actually Dr. Wagner who called me back instead of N.P. I thought that was very nice of her and I was glad with her quick response. I also just had my annual check up and she spend good 45min with me and all the exam was done very professionally. She asked many questions about my health. Beside, we also had few personal conversation here and there. I thought that was very nice too. If you are looking for a primary doctor who can be personal, she is the one!

I have been seeing Dr. Fogg as my primary care physician for over five years now. Although it…read moremight not be important to some, it was important for me to have a PCP who also has a degree in Public Health (MPH) since I believe prevention to be an essential part of medicine. The first time I met with Dr. Fogg, she asked me so many questions (not just about my personal health) to try to get a sense of who I was and what might be important issues for my health care. Now it was over five years ago, but I remember her spending a full hour with me during that first appointment. She is very approachable and seems to truly care about her patients' health. A couple of years ago, I had a medical concern and actually emailed her through the patientsite website. She returned my email promptly (within 2 hours and it was after 8pm) and I was able to schedule a time to see her within the week. I truly believe that she provides outstanding medical care and prevention tips. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor.

I'm so very happy that l found this Wonderful Medical Center. After I hung up l thanked God for watching over me after having a terrible experience with my former Primary Care Physician. I put up with it for years. It was impossible to even make an appointment, they put you on hold for over an hour and 1/2 The secretary told me that it's not their problem If l'm sick and not able to wait for that amount of time even after just being discharged from Brigham and Women's Hospital, Thoracic Surgical Floor from having a Total Gastrectomy and Jujunostomy, I'm not able to eat for the rest of my life. My Primary Care Physician says that he has nothing to do with Boston since he's not out there even though his name is all over my discharge papers. He said that they just do that. When I mentioned this to my Thoracic Surgeon on my next follow up he couldn't believe it.

My initial impression of Dr. Holtzman during my first and only exam on 10/28/24 was not an…read moreentirely positive one. I found his non-medical questions about my personal life unnecessarily intrusive. (I'd already been asked and answered a couple of those questions online as part of the required Zocdoc new patient intake by his office.) One of these was "What is your sexual orientation?" As with Zocdoc, I told him I was straight. He replied with a smile: "Maybe a straight guy who also sleeps with men?" (I believe his precise words were "Heterosexual meaning you like just women, or women and men?") Which left me slack-jawed. A couple unspoken thoughts crossed my mind in quick succession: "Huh? Wouldn't such a guy be a bisexual?" Followed by a recognition of his obvious insinuation, which I found as unprofessional as it was inaccurate. It may be appropriate for a physician to ask a patient's sexual orientation today (I'm 71), but hardly professional to suggest a different orientation to the patient. His next question was "When did you last have sex?" despite the fact that I came to this first office visit presenting no complaints, let alone symptoms, that might suggest an STD or anything else of a sexual nature. Frankly, I had to wonder what the dude's agenda was. He insisted on giving me a referal to his dermatologist colleague, despite my telling him I had seen two dermatologists ---working together--less than a year earlier as a part of the excision of a couple benign facial blemishes. Then when the results of my Qwest lab bloodwork of a week later came back, liver enzymes AST and ALT in my blood were abnormally high, so I messaged him for his interpretation. Unlike my previous PCPs, who would offer a brief interpretation via their patient portals, his terse response was: "See me." Which I interpreted as another office visit. Fortunately, I subsequnetly remembered that I had taken large doses of acetaminophen at the time of the blood draws due to cold symptoms, which temporarily elevates these enzymes' levels. (Mystery solved and money saved.) But I noted his attempt to turn my simple portal inquiry into a billable office visit, not (in fairness to him) unusual in today's profit-focused US medical industry. As physician/author Elizabeth Rosenthal has written: "The 'first do no harm' directive has been replaced with 'first leave no money on the table' ". In the year that followed, he cooperatively issued for me two gastroenterologist referrals with a recommendation for a colonoscopy, (although I should note that the first referral was for a gastroenterologist conncted to a facility from which a hospital approved post-sedated procedure ride home was unavailable to me, which limitation I had made very clear to him during the 10/2024 exam, thus the need for the second referral. In summary, I had no reason to question Dr. Holtzman's overall medical competence, but also no desire to remain in his practice.

They are all very expensive ranging from $400-$500 and didn't take my insurance. They said they had to do certain testings according to the government requirements and patients have to pay for those test (till today, I don't know why these places that have so many reviews and don't take insurance given my insurance is a very good one). I also called to Dr Felix office, it was busy, an hour or so later, he called me back. His fee was $180 to do the form, and "all the testings should be covered by your insurance if you have". That is what he told me. I booked and came. I was very surprised that Dr Mayers was truly a caring old man, he was very calm and explained all the details of the tests I needed to do. He did physical examination, then sent me downstairs in the same medical building for other blood/urinal tests. All happened really smoothly, quickly, and I got my good result in less than a week. The beautiful part is I never had to pay for any of these testings! They are all covered by my insurance. I look back and realized how fortunate I was to have chose Dr Mayers. If you do this form for your paperwork, it is very important to be careful! The pricing has been really crazy and range from anywhere from $400 to more than $500. How is this even possible but that is how it has been operating. Make sure you check multiple prices before committing.

On top of that please note that I know very little about PCPs and the healthcare system in the USA so I feel a little under-qualified to review the only PCP I've ever had. But having said all that Steven Abreu is great. He's talkative, knowledgeable, reassuring and always seems to be in a happy mood. His attitude is very calming without any condescension, which is exactly what you need from a PCP. So far he's pulled stuff out of my ear and helped me out by back-dating a referral I didn't get when I didn't know the whole system. I have to drop a star because getting an appointment can be a real pain. Sometimes the wait is 2 weeks.
