Beaulieu John E MD

"the staff member who answered phone wasted no time in letting me know they were not accepting new clients, despite the mass health website saying he is. While that's totally fine and understandable, cutting me off and being incredibly rude when I called to ask a very normal question was extremely off putting. Idk how the doctor is but just be aware before giving a phone call, especially if you're already someone going through an emotionally vulnerable/stressful time, the last thing you need is to be treated like a pest by some staff member on the phone."

"Dr. Beaulieu is the best PCP I have ever had. When I had to choose a new insurance, I made sure to choose one that would allow me to continue seeing him. Like others have mentioned, he genuinely listens to any concerns and gives you a thoughtful perspective instead of just over prescribing like many physicians I have had in the past. I wish more doctors were like him."

"Dr Beaulieu is great! I have been going to him for close to 30 years. He truly cares about his patients and goes out of his way to know them as only a real PCP would. He works incredibly long hours and has always responded quickly. Try to find that today with most primary care physicians. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation."

"I am so late in giving a review for Dr. Beaulieu. After working with him for 16 years I had to leave his practice because we moved out of state. He will take time to hear you out. He will give you another perspective, sometimes even counter to popular mainstream thought. I LOVE this about him! He is interested in your true health not a medicated masked version of health. He has a super balanced approach - coaching you in a healthy lifestyle and brings medication into that lifestyle as needed. And...he will go beyond the call of duty to help you."

"I would absolutely NOT go to this doctor. Please find any other physician. Any. This doctor is judgmental, doubts patients, and is not available to respond to patients' needs. I recently moved into the area and was looking for a PCP. Dr. Beaulieu had relatively good reviews and had his own private practice. I wanted to support a local business, so I decided to begin seeing him. The first appointment went relatively well, and I thought he was the type of doctor who cared a great deal about his patients. The second appointment and every interaction since then has been terrible, however. During the first appointment, he drew blood and we talked about my medical issues. I told him I had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease through a blood test when I was 17. I also told him fatigue was an issue. Dr. Beaulieu requires that patients come back for a follow-up appointment post-bloodwork rather than just mail them their results. I guess that helps him earn more money. But whatever. I decided my health was important, so a second appointment it was - even though I had to leave work early to get there in time. During the second appointment, it turned out that a) he tested me for the same autoimmune disease I told him that I have, and it seemed clear that he did not believe I actually had it and was simply making it up and b) he did not test me for anything related to my current fatigue. He did 2 standard blood tests in addition to testing me for an autoimmune disease - which I have a diagnosis for - and neither of them connected to fatigue at all. He essentially completely dismissed what I had to say. The whole retesting for this autoimmune disease felt like a way for him to "catch" me making this up. I asked him why he tested for this, and his response was that "He had doubts that I had it” (even though a blood test confirmed this and I have all the symptoms that go with it...) After reading a previous review, I suspect it was a money grab on his part. He of course said I do not have this autoimmune disease based on this unnecessary blood test in spite of 17 years of medical records that say that I do. During this same appointment, he also told me that Vitamin C was as effective as many vaccines (???) Also, guess what? My insurance will not cover a test that I did not need - i.e., the autoimmune disease test. So I get to pay out of pocket for that. There was zero need to test for it except for him to feel good. I then ran out of an important prescription. It was originally prescribed by a different doctor who can no longer prescribe it - I was living abroad for the past two years, and so the prescription that I had was only valid in that country. Knowing that it might be awhile before I could find a PCP, I stocked up before coming back to the U.S., but just ran out. I called two weeks ago, and could not get in touch with anyone. I called his office 6 times today - during regular business hours - hoping to talk to Dr. Beaulieu and get this prescription phoned in. Instead - when the phone was actually answered by an answering service - I was told I would be called back within 30 minutes or less. Surprise surprise - I was not. When I called back and talked to the "service" a second time they asked if I had somehow blocked the number on my phone. When I called back the third time, they told me they were putting me on hold, then hung up. I called back a fourth time. I was told Dr. Beaulieu left a message for me. That message was “Call back Monday.” I am now at urgent care waiting to see if I can get a prescription for this medicine. It is frustrating to have a PCP who is too lazy to even call in a prescription. If you think that using a private practitioner will mean more individual attention from your PCP, you are absolutely wrong. Choose another one."
