A lot of people say UMASS but I had nothing but horrible experiences there. Switched my primary care to Reliant and went through St V's for surgery and hace had nothing but good experiences.

I still go to UMass for my primary care doc. And I hate them. I never see my actual doctor. I get charged for “urgent visits” that they then schedule a week out. I had a follow up for a cat scan that was 3 fucking months after the scan. And it wasn’t even with my actual doctor. Just an NP. I switched my OB/gyn to St. Vincent and my experience there has always been so much better.

We see an OB/gyn at St V's too and he is one of 2 Drs ever who has actually listened to my wife and taken her seriously.

Same. Seeing them was when I finally got diagnosed with PCOS. It isn’t even a lot of work to diagnose. They just actually listened to me and got the blood work done. The bar is so freaking low.

We learned the hard way that there there is a bias against young women in medicine. My wife had a health issue she complained about for years that eventually nearly took her life. Nobody listened until it became a dire emergency. We both wish we had found him 10 years sooner.

That’s awful. I’m so sorry you two had to go through that. Hugs.
