We moved from another region and have been unhappy with medical services and wait times as well. I swapped over to Atrius for all but one of my needs (hair loss specialist) and it's been a vastly better experience than dealing directly with the large hospital systems.

I’ll check it out thanks for the recommendations. Sorry to hear you have the same experiences with the larger hospitals.

Hopefully you make some headway with Atrius. They partner with Beth Israel when need be and I was able to get in relatively quickly (2 weeks) recently for another cancer scare.

I saw you mention trying Tufts. Spouse and I both initially went there because it was the only hospital system we could get into with any expediency, BUT they have dropped the ball so many times leaving us without care. Both of us have had appointments (spouse for a somewhat intensive procedure) made and then...nothing. We disappeared off their schedules. I've heard several others have similar experience, and several ex-staff told me it was not particularly uncommon at Tufts. Just our experiences, though.

Awesome this is such great information. Really appreciate the post and will definitely be checking out Atrius. Good to know they are partnered with BI.

Unfortunate to hear about your experience with Tufts since they are such a large medical institution. I’ll keep it in mind.

Thanks!
