• My visit was stressful in as much as I was late due to the MBTA and their inability to follow a schedule. The doctor, receptionist and all the staff I interacted with were beyond expectations and their kindness and understanding put me at ease. I can't praise them enough. So amazing they made my lateness seem like a minor inconvenience and were beyond accommodating.
