This was the first time I met him. He was brusque, but I guess he was busy. He eventually slowed down a bit and I felt he was listening for the most part. He told me how he planned to proceed with care, which was good [redacted] This doctor seemed very smart and asked good questions. He did not let me talk about things very long as if trying to make sure I didn't veer off onto another problem or something. I hope he works out because I have had problems with neurologists ...

Dr. Mullally got me the migraine medicine that I've been trying to get for six months. He got it within a few hours by sending a letter to the insurance company. So he made sure I got the medicine I needed. He's an excellent doctor.

She takes the time for me to really listen to what I am saying. pulls up previous medical charts to make comparisons. I have had to go to urgent care (Foxboro) at times because of a condition and that information is read to me and she follows up.

He is a very knowledgeable doctor, the only thing is that he didn't have access to my records due to loss of power the day of my appointment, which I don't understand why this place doesn't have a generator.

Dr. Mullally is extremely kind and willing to discuss all aspects of my care and previous tests as well as plans for tests in the future. He is wonderful about communicating with my primary care doctor and making sure that he does not override the primary care's role in prescribing and I am overall extremely impressed with him and I'm sorry that he's going to be retiring sometime in the next few years. Thank you.
