Extremely incompetent doctor. Very rude. HE IS NOT EVEN AN MD! DO only who currently works for VES…read more(VA provider). During a medical appointment with my husband he was extremely rude and dismissed his medical conditions, even though they were already confirmed and treated by multiple specialists (actual MDs!). He also told my husband to "suck it up" because my husband only did two 18 month deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan so there is no way he could have back pain and nerve damage (are you kidding me?!). I'm not sure why anyone would hire this person. Based on reviews from other patients, this individual does not have a good track record and is not competent and able to effectively treat patients, especially combat veterans. I am shocked by his bedside manner or lock thereof.

Dr. Guidi has been my PCP for as long as I can remember. This is why I feel qualified in saying…read morethat I would not recommend his services to anybody looking for a primary care doctor for themselves or their family. I had a larger review written, but I decided to keep it down to bulletpoints of my experiences with Doctor Guidi: -Went in for whooping cough, referred to a nutritionist -Went in for flu, referred to a nutritionist -Was told I can't play rugby because of my weight (I've been playing for 5 years now) -Went in on crutches with my leg in a brace, the doctor looked at me and asked which leg I hurt... seriously? also referred me to a nutritionist (instead of an ortho doctor) -Went in for a checkup and he tried to convince me to get lipo-suction. Seriously? I'm a big guy, but I'm psychically active and pretty in-shape, I don't live stuck in a bed. Needless to say, other members of my family have already left Dr. Guidi because of the issues noted above, and I will be doing the same soon. Dr. Guidi used to be a warm and caring doctor but ever since he became part of Lahey clinic he seems only concerned with referring his patients to a nutritionist and nothing more. There's probably a reason why there is never anybody in his waiting room anymore.

I called for my prescription refill, like I do every month, and as always there's an issue. First,…read morethe nurse practitioner I was seeing was transferred.The printer jammed. Instead of fixing the problem, it was left. I call back this morning and no one knows what's going on. The printer is still jammed and I don't have my prescriptions I needed yesterday. No one from the office calls to keep you informed. It's always a chase and I believe one of the primary doctors doesn't go in until 3pm. Always an issue here.

Dr. Ray is now the only doctor at this location. She was the first to test my urine to see if I had…read moremy medication in my system. Several weeks later when it was time to refill my anxiety medication she had her nurse tell me it wasn't in my system and refused to refill the script. Impossible. No one called me when this occurred weeks before. I find Dr. Ray to be critical and judgmental. She's not willing to work with her patience. I feel she follows her own opinions and beliefs rather than the treatment plan that was established before she was there.

Dr Ficht responsive and a good diagnostician. His office staff are welcoming and friendly. We have…read morebeen patients for over 10 years and appreciate his availability; he takes the time to,listen and provide good medical suggestions. He called us after my wife's recent hip surgery to inquire about the surgery and her recuperation. If you are looking for a quality and experienced physician, he is your go-to provider.

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who just finished my second annual physical with Melissa…read moreMaloney, NP. Both office visits were the most relaxed, thorough and comprehensive physical exams I've ever received. Dr. Kay Ficht is, in my professional opinion, the best internist in the Newburyport area....and apparently North Shore Magazine agrees. What a combo ! His entire staff is amazing. So glad I'm under their care.

Whole family has been long time patients. Me since the early 90s, husband since 2015 and son…read moresince birth in 2000. They are all I've known as an adult. 1st doc I had for 11yrs, second for about 8 and my current for the past 11 or so. (1st retired, 2nd left to go into research) Husband had 3. We just got dropped like a hot potatoes because we have Tufts insurance that we've had since 1998. They want us to switch to the MassGen Plan. No way! It's SO F expensive. Mass General is screwing people so bad. Mass Eye & Ear is included in the conglomerate. Another place we've been going to several times a year since the mid-90s. No where to go who is accepting new patients and they don't give a shit. They only care about money!! I'll never go back.

Its always someone else replying and no service done. So please just ask to speak with manager. If you have a problem or just blow up the reviews then you will get a quick call.

Stay away if you don't want to get ripped off. I went to the Parkland Emergency in Plaistow from a…read morerecommendation from my doctor. "they are a full service ER" he said. I had blood clots in the past and was having some similar symptoms. An emergency room would be the quickest way to diagnose. I went in, told them what was going on, got put in a room with the "tablet" to get my billing info. The Doctor (who was filling in because of staffing issues) came in, and I told him what was going on. He said " if what is going on with you is what I think, you know what I'm talking about, you need to go to a real hospital. we don't have the staff to help you." They offered me an ambulance ride to Portsmouth Hospital. I declined and my wife drove me to Portsmouth Hospital and they did the job of a real ER. Parkland in Plaistow billed my insurance many thousands of dollars and is trying to get me to pay them another $500. THEY PROVIDED ZERO EMERGENCY SERVICES. It's gone to collection and have disputed the charge twice. DO NOT GO TO PLAISTOW ER.

The last one I dealt with would not recommend my husband, who suffers from chronic migraines, to a specialist. She insisted that his slightly elevated cholesterol was somehow the problem. Core itself constantly gave us surprise bills. Trying to get someone on the phone at the practice itself is impossible. While some of the providers are good, I would not recommend this practice or Core Physicians in general.

Should a girl rate her primary care doctor? When he is as wonderful as Dr. Ficht, the answer is…read more"Yes!". Coastal Medical = Dr. Ficht and his lovely staff. I often see the NP Melissa which is fine because she is a pleasure. The entire staff is so friendly and helpful, visiting the Doctor isn't a dreadful experience as it can often be. I am usually not waiting very long to see whomever I am there to see. When I need labwork or prescription refills, I just call and it is done. No fuss, no muss. The best part is that Dr. Ficht and Melissa are both down-to-earth, so you can really talk to them. And they listen! Unlike some Dr's who seem to be going through the motions just to get to the next patient. I almost hate telling you all how wonderful they are cause I'm afraid once the secret's out I'll have to wait forever to see them. But I just had to tell you. Just keep it between the two of us, OK?
