Endocrinology At Beth Israel

"If you can reach a receptionist to make an appointment and not have it cancelled, then the doctors are good. Minimum 2 emails and 3 phones messages each time I try to make an appointment."

"I was referred to BIDMC through HUHS but I will attest to all these other reviews. DO NOT GO HERE. I was under the care of Zachary Taxin and he was condescending, patronizing, and constantly pressured me to do treatments I was not comfortable with (I would later find out that I never had to have these treatments done). He also scheduled an appointment without notifying me and I found out I had an appointment the day of because I received a call??? Not only this but when I finally relented and decided to go through with the treatment, he told me he would send me an email but he never did. I even called him asking for follow up and by that point I was so sick of it I transferred."

"Did one initial over the phone appointment back in March and was told they would send in lab requests and then from there would get me back on medications that I needed a new prescription for. They never sent in the labs and I have called more than a dozen times, left a message every time, and haven’t heard back. It’s been 4 months."

"If I could give this place no stars I would. You see, we’ve been attending this place for over a year now. Dr.hennesy and his assistant are HORRIBLE. My husband has a thyroid issue, that’s very apparent in my eyes and in his PCMs eyes. I had been doing a lot of research on the thyroid and had been talking with my friend who has unfortunaltey suffered from thyroid cancer and she had helped me understand a lot of the thyroid functions and how the thyroid actually works. I figured I had a good source of information, I also brought a book with me into the office highlighting the concerns I had and the biggest concern in the assistants eyes (the assistant to dr.hennesy) was that he “may not have a thyroid condition” even though his hcg levels were high? LOL and that’s where I got upset. After we talked and he very unhelpfully answered all of my questions, he goes and talked to the doctor. The doctor comes in and acts all nice and says “oh well if the levothyroxine isn’t helping then you don’t have a thyroid condition” okay, FIRST OF ALL YOUVE ALREADY DIAGNOSED HIM WITH HASHIMOTOS AND THEN YOU ARE TELLING US THAT IT IS BECAUSE HE DOESNT HAVE A THYROID ISSUE? Excuse me?!?! Then he continues to say that we shouldn’t be “looking things up on the internet” even though I got all of my research from a friend who has been through hell and back with her thyroid cancer and then he continued to act like there was no issue and only did a simple thyroid panel and didn’t even check his vitamin d levels but said on the way out the door “try some vitamin d3 that may help your cause”..... so after a few days we get a call back and the doctor said that actually his levels are way high and they gave us the wrong prescription of medicine FOR OVER A YEAR... I am NEVER RETURNING!! Save your money, save your time, just because these doctors had studied at Harvard doesn’t mean they know jack s**t!!!!! HORRIBLE DOCTORS"
