Dr. McLaughlin was supposed to biopsy a newly diagnosed node on the isthmus of my thyroid. Instead,…read moreshe mistakenly biopsied one of four nodes that had previously been biopsied and deemed benign. She carelessy failed to refer to her own notes following the phone call in which she informed me of the new diagnosis and discussed the biopsy. This is inexcusable.

I don't understand how so many people complain about having to wait a little longer to be seen when…read moreonce they are in with her she isn't pushing you out the door. I have found that the Dr's who run behind are usually the ones who give the patient the time they need. There are Dr's who also are behind and rush you out without a proper visit. I saw Dr McLaughlin about 5-6 yrs ago and I was having a very difficult time finding the cause of my extreme distress and she treated me better than most Dr's. She did an adrenal stimulation test 4 me that confirmed I low levels and poor response when the body needs it. She even monitored other hormone levels I was using replacement therapy for and when I had missed a few doses not thinking it would make a difference so quickly the Dr sent me a message informing me I dropped below and needed to not miss any doses. I spent yrs looking for help prior to this and a PCP told me it was just anxiety and got mad when I told him it is much more than anxiety. He put in my Records that I refused to accept his diagnosis that it was depression / anxiety and that's what Drs saw every time I sought help. I had reached desperation and went to the ER and the resident Dr was asking me all kinds of ?s looking for an answer until the head Dr came in and said he has a history of this and won't treat his depression anxiety and told me to leave. I was very lucky to have found an outside doctor Dr Bingham who at times spent over an hour w me. He found I had toxic levels of copper in me, that I had complex sleep apnea both kinds, found I had the lowest Testosterone levels he had ever seen, serious gut issues and an infection caused by antibiotics killing off all the good stuff resulting in C-Diff infection that can be life threatening, and other issues. Unfortunately he Retired. My currant PCP told me Testosterone was only for married men having trouble getting their wives pregnant. Saw him 2 weeks after the ER visit and he had already decided he was going to start antidepressants and when I tried to explain it was much more than that I got no help after barely 15min w him his nurse poked her head in and said next patient is waiting so that was that only to find out later he charged my insurance and sent me a Bill for 3 Hundred dollars claiming I owed for 2 visits because we didn't finish on time. What can you do in 15 minutes w a Dr after my temp and blood pressure were taken she said the Dr will be right in as I sat there for 10 more min. He must charge 300.00 for 30min and 600.00 for mine w no help. It really is a battle trying to get help. Good Luck to All looking for help.

I can't believe how much Kristine has helped me with my heath issues. I have been struggling with…read moreallergies, hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue for years. I have seen every doctor and holistic healthcare practitioner under the sun--or so it seems. I have spent thousands on supplements and various therapies. But nothing really ever seemed to help. Then one day I heard Kristine on a local radio show and she said that what she does is help people figure out what their bodies need right now. For instance, acupuncture might help one person tremendously but might not be very helpful for me (right now) and my issue. Kristine went through all my supplements and narrowed down my daily regimen to the "greatest hits" for my body right now. What really was the most helpful, was how Kristine was able to determine that my mercury amalgam fillings was bringing my body down despite all the supplements, exercise and healthy food I was consuming/doing, etc. This was a big breakthrough. I am now painstakingly getting these fillings removed even thought it is time consuming and costly. But I think that I am on the right course of action. And now I won't be wasting my money on supplements and various therapies that were really not solving the problem. I could never have figured this out without Kristine's help. After each session, I always feel better and more energized. And it really helps that she is kind, thoughtful, really smart and light hearted. We always share some laughs during each session. She has several modalities but she always chooses the one that is right for my body at the given moment and the given challenge. I recommend her to all my friends, family and acquaintances when they are trying to figure out some better answers to their health issues. If you have been struggling with a health issue and don't seem to be getting the right answers and or help from your doctors or other health care practitioners, then you would really benefit from a session(s) with Kristine. I highly recommend it!

Very bizarre and expensive experience. ( I don't blame anyone but myself for this). I was given the…read more"I am not a doctor" before going into my appointment. However, during my appointment and after listing all my symptoms and how gynecologists have told my I have suspected endometriosis, I was told by Kristine that I don't have that during muscle testing. I was shocked at such a bold statement ONLY because it went against the "I am not a doctor" statement I was told. I convinced myself this woman had a strong intuition until my chronic pelvic pain did not subside from the tinctures I was given. Which ... they weren't supposed to. It was only something western medicine could handle. Here I am two weeks post op with all endometriosis excised from my bladder and deep from my pelvis. So, Yes. I did have that. But the point of this review is that I was told I didn't have something..... when I absolutely did. It did not align with the " I am not a doctor" which I was told twice. If you are not a doctor, then how come I am being told I don't have something? Everything was very speedy and rushed... but I am assuming that is all because routine is the same for every person. Listen to symptoms, muscle test, and send home with 2-3 tinctures/ vitamins. Waiting for the western medicine and natural path world to align and become one instead of being so separate from each other!!! Hopefully one day. I see reviews that this practice is a scam, I think it is in some ways, but for some people (especially when their symptoms are mental, body is low in vitamins, contains parasites, etc. ) it could really help but it seems to be an expensive guessing game that is for sure.

Dr. Colzani is my endocrinologist and I really enjoy working with her, but this review is primarily…read morefor her office staff and her PA, Jessica, who I see primarily. Dr. Colzani was very helpful when I was first getting my hypothyroidism under control. She took my concerns seriously and provided a lot of helpful information about thyroid funciton and pregnancy, since I was thinking about on becoming pregnant in the year or so after I found out I had hypothyroidism (2012). Well, now I am pregnant and I've been seeing Jessica Perucca for care during my pregnancy (you have to be monitored more closely because your thyroid function is crucial in baby's development). Jessica is wonderful - so easy to talk to, very compassionate, and really prompt following up with appointments. The office staff is friendly and it's easy to make appointments and get ahold of someone. When I explained I didn't want to spend all my PTO on Doctor's appointments, they worked with me to set up a schedule for visits that really works a lot better for me since I work full-time. I would definitely recommend Dr. Colzani, and ESPECIALLY Jessica, for your endocrinology care.

I saw this doctor back in 2009 when her practice was at Mt. Auburn Hospital…read more I went to Dr. Colzani after suspicions I was misdiagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. Dr. Colzani interviewed me, took my blood sugar, and looked at my thyroid. She sent me for an ultrasound on my thyroid because it was enlarged. She called two days after my ultrasound and scheduled a biopsy. I came in two weeks later and endured 30 needles in my neck. She sent a letter stating my nodules were benign. I requested a copy of my file for my records and reviewed them. I was rather upset with the comments I reviewed on the first visit. She wrote that she observed a non-diet soda in the exam room and commented that a diabetic should not drink regular soda. It was not mine! It was my sons! After reading that, I left her practice which turned out well since she moved her practice outside of the hospital. Dr. Colzani is thorough. A bit hard to understand through her accent but she is quick to judge without asking questions.

I loved going to this office! If I could describe it in two words it would be "laid back"!…read more The office staff is pleasant and rather comical. When I walked in for my first appointment, they put me at ease and started chatting. As a caveat, I had just come from the DC health care system and was so used to being rushed through appointments with doctors that were more interested in throwing prescriptions at me than getting to know me as a patient. I found the exact opposite in Dr. Kramer's office and man, I was relieved! The nurse practitioner (and the doctor herself) actually sat down with me and made small talk before we got into the nitty gritty of the appointment. This definitely took the edge off for me. Another plus--Dr. Kramer takes a conservative approach when handing out prescriptions. She would rather run blood tests up front to be absolutely certain that a medication is, in fact, necessary. While this would seem to be a no-brainer, I've got to say.. I've had so many doctors throw a prescription at me, in an attempt to attack the symptom, but never really work to get to the cause. The office accepts only cash or check for co-payment. If you forget, don't despair. They just mail you the invoice. Like I said, they're laid back. ;-) Overall, I really felt like I was in good hands in this office. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a good endocrinologist.

They take into account both my concerns/thoughts and their deep expertise. They are amazing and the only reason I didn't give 1 star. So why the poor rating? Because I haven't seen either of them in at least 4 years despite my requests. (I miss them!) I suspect it began when Harvard Vanguard was bought out by Atrius Health, which was bought out by Optum, which is part of United Healthcare. I have had 3 different, sub-par NPs for my last 3 physicals, and am off to see yet another new NP tomorrow. I have to book a year (or more) in advance to NOT get my own doctor. Forget about seeing my primary doctor or NP when I'm actually ill ...then I'm sent to urgent care. There is NO CONTINUITY OF CARE. Disgusting. Unless this changes soon, I will never go back to Atrius Health, oops Optum, oops United f***ing Healthcare again.

Dr. Peters was referred to me by a co-worker since our office is near her office. She came very…read morehighly recommended. I've since seen her twice, once for a physical and the second time for a gyno screening. Gyno's are always awkward - to me anyways. Dr. Peters was great at both appointments. For my physical, she went through everything. I was surprised at how detailed she got during my health history. It was reassuring. I have very little faith in doctors; I think the healthcare system is broken and they simply don't have the time or energy to invest when they're seeing so many patients each day. That being said, Dr. Peters is much better than my last two doctors (yes, I move around a lot). I'm a fan.
