I recommend calling Harvard Vanguard / Atrius Health. Large network with plenty of PCPs taking new patients.

Both my wife and i have had good experience with Atrius health. I found my pcp there in November last year with my first annual physical checkup scheduled for March. But what i personally didn’t know was that while the physical appointment wasn’t available for months, if i needed a sick appointment that was available for the next business day once i had registered with them.

Yes this. Dr. Callahan at the Atrius Health in Medford is wonderful. She actually listens to you and gives her full attention. See if she is accepting new patients.

Seconded. Their wait time for new patient appointments is very short and service is good.

Yup, I've moved my primary and all specialty docs to Atrius except for my dermatologist (purely because they had zero taking new patients last year for my alopecia)

I want to like HV / Atrius but have had such atrocious service. Every time I go in, the wrong test is ordered, or they submit the order with my name misspelled, or they forget to schedule a follow-up appointment, or they give me the wrong paperwork… I can’t trust them for any of the little things and that makes it hard to trust them for the big things

So sorry to hear. Which location did you go to?

It’s been systemic for me, across my PCP, endocrinologist, geneticist, the labs, etc (most in different locations). But seems like others have had a better experience than me so maybe I’ve had bad luck

Agreed! I was able to get an appointment with them pretty easily and have had a great experience so far, lots of locations too
