My newest care specialist stopped giving me my medication saying I didn't need the amount my last clinician gave me.

Usually the office staff is very nice. Currently looking for a new PCP.

My fiancée and I switched primary care physicians to Dr. Mainali here, just a couple months ago…read morefollowing a move. We've each been twice so far, and are very pleased. It's a small office, but the receptionist was helpful and friendly. Dr. Mainali himself was very thorough in our first visit, really listening to what we had to say as well as his test results. We felt valued as people, not just as paying customers. He was very helpful when our blood test results came back, in not just telling us the problems, but going through every line of the results (full of acronyms and medical lingo we wouldn't understand on our own) and explaining what everything meant, and why we might care. For many procedures, this small 1-doctor office (he's planning to add a second soon) will have to refer you to others. So, don't expect a hospital-like experience where they can handle everything you could possibly need in the same building. For everything that can be done in-house, though, Everest Healthcare and Dr. Mainali come highly recommended.

I had my entire adult family with this physician as the primary care doctor…read more Visits are brief. Conditions are reviewed with WebMD like computer searches. No treatment for conditions ranging for internal pains, symptoms of arthritis, risk or aortic rupture, or gout were ever recommended. Thousands of dollars in tests were we sent for. No review , feedback, analysis, or recommendations on any of them were ever received. Don't make the mistake of asking an extra question during a visit. You will be billed fully as if it were another appointment. (which your insurance won't cover as they don't understand two sessions with the same doctor on the same day) After 2 years of trying to get any kind of result, we shifted to someone else.

Rose was amazing at the shots... didn't feel a thing. Overall great experience. Would recommend for testing. I will be thinking of these healthcare heroes every day until this is over. Stay well.

While sitting in the waiting room, I overheard the conversation that sealed my decision to leave…read morethis practice. The receptionist was on the phone with a woman who was apparently trying to talk to someone about her abdominal pain. The receptionist was not making things easy. After the discussion ended, she hung up the phone, turned to her coworkers and said (loud enough for everyone in the waiting room to hear): "Abdominal pain? She probably just has her period!" Snickers, all around. Haha, funny. A patient who needs to be seen... but can't. This is a practice with doctors who would likely be competent under other circumstances, but have clearly taken on more patients than they can handle. When I needed an appointment for an urgent medical need, the earliest appointment was the following week. I ended up in the emergency room that night -- and it was not the kind of ER visit where one sits leisurely reading through back issues of People magazine in the waiting room. The wait for routine physicals is 6-9 months. Sick patients must undergo rigorous phone pre-screening by a nurse to justify an appointment. ("Why yes, I have had copious yellow mucous, a 101-degree fever, and a raging headache for a week now. I have taken twice the legal dose of antihistamines for someone my size. May I please, please see a doctor?") If you are sick and do manage to wrangle an appointment, it's just more of the same from a burnt-out, slightly patronizing medical staff once you're in the office. Don't get me wrong -- Dr. Katcher and Dr. Weinman (the only doctors I've seen here) would probably be great under other circumstances. Just not these. The support staff, as illustrated by the conversation I overheard, is at best impatient and at worst rude and indifferent. It's unpleasant enough being sick. It's even more unpleasant when you have to justify your need for medical treatment to an annoyed receptionist. And it's unacceptable when the doctors in the practice allow such attitudes by their support staff to go unchecked -- or exhibit such behavior themselves.

I was referred to this office by another doctor…read more In the past four years I have been "seeing" Dr. Craig, I have only seen her once. Although she is very nice, she, and the office itself, are not accommodating. I had to cancel an appointment due to a work obligation (I'm a teacher) and was told I could not reschedule due to the fact that my doctor was having a baby. I was very happy for her an willing to reschedule a few months later. However, I tried to rebook and I was not allowed to rebook that far in advance. I was told to call back in 6 months. I did. Still they had no idea when she would be returning. I am a teacher so my day begins almost before the sun comes up. Students are in my room before the doctors office opened. They take an hour and a half lunch break which is the same time as my 23 minute lunch break so I couldn't call to set up an appointment then. They stop taking appointments at 4:30. I'm still at school at 4:30 helping students or in faculty meetings. It took me over two weeks of calling to finally get someone on the phone. It was then I found out that she was now only a part time doctor and only taking people in the mornings. I have twice now gone to the CVS minute clinic because I couldn't get a hold of any one to make an appointment to get in for a sinus infection and what I thought might have been strep throat. What is even more annoying is when you do get someone on the phone, they act like it is your fault they can't accommodate you. They become aggravated with me when I can't leave a classroom full of students to go to a doctors appointment. Looks like I'm on the hunt again for a new doctor....

This practice has gone downhill since I became a patient 10 years ago. I had many friends and…read morefamily members who came here who had been well cared for. I will probably stay through shear inertia but would encourage those looking for a medical practice to stay away based on my recent experience which has been horrible. They referred me to what they described as a reputable specialist for my procedure. They called me to confirm an appointment with this specialist and I assumed I was all set. A month later, the day of my appointment, I called the specialist office to confirm and discovered that no appointment was ever made. They scheduled an appointment with me for the following month. When I called to complain to Sagov they had no record of the original referral. Now it is two months since my diagnosis and the specialist called to reschedule two weeks later. Assuming I ever get to see a specialist it is now looking like almost three months from diagnosis's to even seeing a specialist. I don't believe my condition is life threatening so think I am fine. However, the referral system is questionable at best and am now doubting the quality of this specialist. Please consider an alternative to Sagov's Family Prqctice Group.

The office is always accommodating and provides availability for my inconsistent schedule. There is always available parking and the office has been on schedule each time I've been there which is a plus. Since Dr. Martins retirement I've been seeing Dr. Dan Wemple as a PCP and could not be happier. He is attentive, personable, and compassionate. He follows up on all questions and any test results promptly and with a clarity that makes me feel comfortable with the care I'm receiving. The owner Nancy and the entire staff make you feel like family and provide a type of care that not all offices offer. They put in the extra effort to help you with insurance explanations, referrals, and any issues I've ever encountered while a patient. The blend of expertise, care, and service I receive at Somerville Family Practice is second to none and I plan to continue bringing my family there for a long time.

We need a zero star option here. **Life threatening condition ignored** About 20 years ago I was a…read morepatient here. I came to the practice with complaints any real doctor would investigate. I was dismissed as a case of anxiety with no follow on care plan. I pushed knowing something wasn't right. The doctor ran an echo cardiogram and left a VOICEMAIL that I had a minor valve issue with again no follow on care. Fast forward a few years and it turns out that diagnosis was false but I have TWO congenital defects that likely cause sudden cardiac death in patients with symptoms. By sheer luck I have survived what I should not have and I would never know if I didn't faint in the hospital and had reputable doctors that ran tests and actually treated me. the doctor at Somerville family practice treated me as if I was making it all up when I had symptoms and shamed me so much that I never wanted to even seek treatment for the incorrect valve issue. She was beyond dismissive and that almost cost me my life if it weren't for new doctors who upheld their oath. Stay far far away if you value your life.

I can't begin to praise Dr. Schofield enough. I wish I'd had such a great pediatrician when I was a kid. He gets down to kids' levels and treats them with respect and kindness. As my own kids have grown, he continues to speak to them with respect and values their contributions to their conversations. Medically, he's never steered us wrong, and we've been grateful for his insight and advice. Luckily, my kids never had overly major problems, but even so, we always felt in good hands with Dr. Schofield there for us. Once my daughter became a teen, she wanted a female doctor, and she found an excellent partner in crime in Dr. Sheldon, who also practices at Arlington Pediatrics. My daughter loves Dr. Sheldon (as do I) because Dr. Sheldon makes my daughter feel comfortable and relaxed, even when she was going through typical teen issues. It was always Dr. Sheldon who could speak to my daughter about concerns that I had, without ever letting on that it was mom who wanted certain issues addressed. My kids will soon age out of this practice, which makes me somewhat sad, but I'm happy that the experiences that they've had with Arlington Pediatrics have set them down the path to experiencing excellent in health care management.
