Beth Israel Lahey Health Primary Care, The Marino Center for Integrative Health

"I really love the doctors and staff at the Marino Center. I have gone to both their locations in Wellesley and Cambridge. The doctors are kind and take their time. The staff is so helpful..."

"Been a patient at the Marino Center for almost three years now. The doctors here are super helpful and responsive, nothing but praise for them. They respond pretty quickly by phone and through the portal as well. I've had a number of chronic health issues for almost six years and they helped me get my health back. I'm listened to and taken care of, something to be deeply appreciative of as a spoonie. If stress and/or trauma destroyed your adrenals and thyroid, they can help. Dr Kumar in particular has been fantastic and compassionate. I can't say enough good things in praise. Thank you!!"

"I’ve been a patient of the Marino Center for almost 8 years. Dr Pugh is practical and thorough. He found something none of my other primary care doctors had. I love how they have labs there including an EKG. When I was pregnant with my first, I thought I had the worst case of the flu ever known to man. It turned out I had hyperemesis gravidum. The doctor who saw me truly cared and wouldn’t let me leave until they gave me 2 bags of fluid in their office. After that, my OB always sent me to the emergency room, which was not as nice and quite expensive. I recently saw Dr Miyashita for 2 sick visits. He spent 45 minutes with me the first time listening and trying to help. The second time he found what we think was wrong with me. He never rushed me and he seems like a really good doctor. I like the Marino Center for how they have so many things in one location too and the nurses who have helped me or answered my calls have also been awesome. The office is clean and updated inside, making me feel comfortable. There has always been parking too even though there are not that many spots."

"I have been going to the Marino Center in Cambridge since 1999. I have received wonderful care and was able to discuss any issues at ease. Dr. Pugh has been my primary doctor since day one (1999) and I hope he never retires :-). Donna Georges was my primary nurse and always looked beyond her knowledge in the effort to seek best treatment if she didn't have a straight answer for it. Aside from great medical care, on the admin/reception sides, while I recognize at some point the answering service was not that great (hence the 4 stars), I feel it has improved tremendously. I have encountered great professionalism from Deb who always tries to accommodate my (sometimes) quick appointments' needs. Of course things have changed a bit since the center has been affiliated to the Mt Auburn hospital, but I am really happy that the Marino's team kept their primary focus which was to serve the patient in the most "natural" caring form they could provide. They have managed to keep a good balance between traditional and progressive health practices. I feel I can benefit from both "sciences" in order to keep my health in good check. I highly recommend the Marino center and its dedicated health team. And thank them for their dedication to patient care and well being. Keep the good work!"

"The Doctor was thorough and nice however the bill I received seemed way higher than expected for the lab work. I never received a physical bill outlining if it had gone through insurance. Wanting to better understand the bill, I called the Marino Center's Billing department 6 times over 3 months, left messages (no one ever picked up) and was never called back. Even got Mount Auburn Hospital (the parent hospital) involved and even they could not get answers from the Marino Center. Unbelievably bad customer service."
