  • Dr. Coley's been our primary care physician since about 1995. He is fantastic. His care for his patients is really wonderful. And we've been so happy to have him monitoring us. In both our cases, we've had pretty severe medical conditions that he helped us, he helped get us to the right specialists and addressed those conditions. And we're both in pretty good health. I'm [redacted] years old. And I credit him for keeping me going. That kind of sums it up.

    2026-01-21

  • I feel very lucky to have had Dr. Coley as my primary care physician for close to 20 years. I'm very concerned that upon his retirement, that the quality of care he provided will be difficult to replace. Moreover, I'm concerned that there'll be no primary care doctors available to take his patients into their practice (internal medicine group). My hope is that MGH will continue to hire high quality doctors as general practitioners like Dr. Coley as opposed to PA's or nurses to manage and triage primary care.

    2026-01-23

  • Hi, Dr. Christopher Coley is probably one of the very best clinical physicians I have had at MGH or any other hospital. He's also extremely conscientious, follows up with summary letters, and calls many times with the blood results, especially if they're normal, the very same evening if they are available. So he's really an outstanding physician.

  • Overall, my patient care experience on [redacted] was top notch. [redacted]. With respect to my care experience with Dr. Coley, I would say that it was exceptional. Among the reasons why include the following: 1. I did not have an appointment. However, Dr. Coley squeezed me into what was undoubtedly a busy day for him. 2. He is not my PCP, yet quickly got up to speed on my previous medical records under the care of my PCP, Dr. [redacted] (who I also consider to be an exceptional doctor). 3. Even though my appointment was for severe pain in my right hand, Dr. Coley made some helpful observations and recommendations (from reading my previous records) for my continuing care under Dr. [redacted]. 4. He gave me the time to explain why I had such and urgent need to get my right hand functional again [redacted]. And he prescribed a medicine that absolutely worked. 5. The entire care visit was very efficient. Despite a number of tests, I didn't experience much waiting time, so I was able to return to my office in a matter of hours. 6. On the evening of my appointment on [redacted], he called to leave me a detailed voicemail at 7:40pm -- providing additional information to me based on test results that he had received. 7:40pm. That's above and beyond what I would have expected. 7. He left me a very detailed Message on the Patient Gateway providing additional information and detail to me. 8. Not only that, he called me the very next day -- a Saturday -- to ask me how the prednisone was working and whether I was able to buy a splint. 9. He was professional, articulate, and courteous. And based on all of his actions, he clearly demonstrated that he cared very much about getting a solution to my medical problem. Overall, I was very impressed. I feel extremely fortunate to have Dr. [redacted] is my PCP. And knowing that there are colleagues of his like Dr. Coley gives me even more confidence in my care team at Internal Medicine Associates and MGH.

  • Dr. Coley is an excellent doctor. He provides me with the best care. I have had some serious medical problems over the last three months. Dr, Coley has been there for me. He answers call my questions promptly when I reach out to him on patient gateway and many times he calls me back also. I have always been given excellent care from Dr. Coley and his staff.

    2025-09-24

  • I am very fortunate to have Dr Coley as my primary care physician. He is always on time, extremely thorough, always up to date on the latest medical developments, treats me with respect and always follows up after my visit. He is the most hard working, caring, and intelligent physician I have ever met. I always know he is thinking about what is best for me. He makes me feel special and takes the time to be sure he listens to me and thoroughly explains everything in a way that I can understand. I could not ask for a better doctor.

    2025-09-21

  • My only comment is that I wish the overall environment of medical care was less stressful.

    2025-09-17

  • Dr Coley is the best physician we have ever known. He is incredibly competent and a great person and we will miss him greatly as we have moved out of state.
