Newton Wellesley Primary Care

This practice used to be top notch. Recently met a new doctor after mine left the practice and I would not recommend this doctor! My concerns with this practice and all the changes going on are the inconsistency in quality care now more. I would not recommend the practice with all the changes going on. Quality of care I feel has depreciated a lot. Doctors keep leaving. Look around if you need a good doctor. Don’t go to Dr Wahi…

Was always a patient with Dr. Holgerson. Then got traded out to some schmuck. Then Dr Schmuck left and I thankfully wind up with dr. Temp good guy, reasonable… But literally 3 weeks later I wind up with a new, different doctor.
Why can’t this practice retain its doctors???
Avoid. At all costs. Zero stars.

I became a new patient of Newton Wellesley Primary care just a few months ago. I had one checkup with my new primary care doctor, back in May, and now, just 3 months later, received a letter stating that my *brand new* primary care doctor, Dr. Justin Holtzman, is no longer with the practice. No explanation, no apology, just the facts. The letter further stated that none of the other doctors are accepting new patients. WHAT?
Where is the commitment to the patients? I feel that a medical partnership like Newton Wellesley Primary Care should support its patients, not dump them out on the street with a cursory letter devoid of any explanation. I trusted my medical history to this practice. I trusted my healthcare to this practice. I have future appointments with this practice which will not be honored. How is this okay? How is this even legal? If «care» is part of your name, I believe that you should live up to it. Shame.

Primary Care Docs… God bless’em! Such a thankless job, so hard to do it well!
These guys do. I’ve been going since high school (that’d be around 10 years now, holy crap!).
It started out as a small office with 3 providers, and has grown into a large practice with 3 office locations, 9 docs, 2 PAs. Some of the older docs, like Dr. Legare, no longer accept new patients. But all of them have top CV’s, and are absolutely excellent. They practice correctly (that’s important to me), are very approachable as physicians, take meticulous care to get your results back to you — with a personal note of reassurance always. If you happen to have a health issue, efforts are always made to provide care as fast as possible: I had initial appointment, ultrasound, surgical consultation and follow up appointment all in one week. Because of their association with NW Hospital, you have access to top services right away.
My only problem with them is, now that they’re this giant practice, it’s become very hard to get an appointment on short notice, whereas before I used basically be able to call the same day. On the other hand, if you tell the receptionist to have the doctor call you, they alwasy do, and they can squeeze you in if you really need.
If you live in the Newton/​Wellesley/​Needham/​Weston area, I recommend them.
Oh — for those of us with concerns re: healthcare system, I have NEVER been erroneously charged for anything :)
