Wickford Family Medicine 320 Phillips Street, North Kingstown, RI 02852

"He was really nice at first but for some reason he eventually had something against me. I missed 1 appointment because my car broke down. I texted him that day before the appointment to let him know and he thanked me for reaching out. I ended up not needing that appointment because it was for a referral, urgent care told me to see my primary due to shoulder instability. But the specialist called me and said I did not need a referral. Therefore, I figured I would not reschedule the appointment since it would be a waste of time. Several months later he emailed me, saying that I failed to show up for multiple appointments. That is simply false. It was 1 appointment and I talked to him that day. He told me to find a new doctor and to tell my oncologist and orthopedic surgeon to stop sending him my reports. Very strange - really not sure what his problem is because I did not miss multiple appointments and I actually felt really bad about the one I did miss. Nevertheless, he also said that he had contacted me requesting I come in. I could not find any emails but he 100% never called me. Kinda shocking I’ve never had a doctor act this. Does he really think I missed multiple appointments ( I definitely did not) or is he consciously gaslighting me?"

"Great doctor, Great service. He tells it like it is, very informative, many years of experience highly recommend, you're lucky to have him as your doctor."

"He told me to go find a new doctor for telling him he was dismissing my pain. Accused me of being angry! Do not waste your time with this doctor."

"My experience at Wickford Family Medicine has been excellent. Every step of care has been aimed at advancing my well being for the future. Even if, what seems like a minor issue or a major question. Doctor John Machata has gone out of his way to make sure I am provided the best medical care and answers available. "Above and beyond", is the term I would use to describe Dr. Machata's efforts to help. With the one on one attention, combined with the accurate knowledge of my medical history. These have made my appointments much more comfortable and easier as a patient. Thank you Dr. Machata, aswell as the entire Wickford Family Medicine group for all of your help and support these past years."

"I've been in the care of Dr. Machata for over 5 years now, and in all that time, he's been professional, caring and extremely flexible with scheduling and payment arrangements for co-pays, etc. He makes himself available through email, text or phone and always returns my call. I owe a lot to Dr. Machata, he helped me get my life back on track and has kept me accountable and honest. If you want excellent care from a physician who is dedicated to helping his patients above and beyond then this is the Doctor for you. I can't remember how many times he's been able to change my appointment at the last minute, or had me come right in, on a moments notice. I appreciate him, and so will you!"
