Caroline M Apovian, MD

I want to thank Dr. Apovian for her time, her expertise, her knowledge answering my questions and giving me guidance in improving my health, along with the staff and the people in the office who have also guided and helped establishing appointments and telling me where to go, what to do. So far, so good. I'm a new patient and I greatly appreciate everybody's help. Thank you. Bye.

Great experience professional, helpful Advice,

She is very smart and caring.

This doctor was very understanding and listened very well and was very, very nice and informative.

This provider is knowledgeable, but is very rude and has no bedside manner. I know that doctors are just people too, so I don't expect perfection, but I expect kindness and consideration. During most of the visit I felt like she was talking down to me and she was talking very loudly, as if she was talking at me instead of to me. I have a history of disordered eating and my weight is a tough subject for me to talk about, as I'm sure it is for a lot of people, and it was very hard for me to have a conversation with her. [redacted] I do acknowledge that I am sensitive about this topic, and this physician is probably like this with all of her patients so I'm trying not to take it personally. She clearly is very smart and knowledgeable and does want to help her patients. I know she has written many books and has done tons of research. I'm sure a lot of patients appreciate her very direct approach. I appreciate directness too, but most of the conversation I felt like she was upset with me. I understand she wants to create a "safe" household for me in terms of the foods that are in it, but my goal is to not be so triggered by these foods.

I thought she was great. We discussed my treatment and dietitian.

She was very detailed and informative

I'm sure this provider is very good at what she does. But both times I've seen her. She seems rushed and does not listen. Well to what I have to say or take the time to listen to what I have to say. I felt so rushed that I had no time to ask any of the questions that I wanted to, or even given the opportunity to think for a moment Given the information that was provided.

Dr. Apovian is a superb, caring physician.

My experience with the office as a whole was great! [redacted]

Excellent positive knowledge and feedback during my care. The emphasis on doctor and patient input was vital in the success of the weight loss program.

Dr. Apovian was direct, professional, and personable. I appreciate her straight forward approach and the hope she has given that I can become much healthier.

The virtual consultation was not as comprehensive as I believe an in-person consultation would be.

[redacted] the visit felt rushed and dismissive. The provider didn't seem very interested, didn't give much information, and didn't allow enough time for questions or deeper discussion. I had hoped for a more thorough and engaged appointment.

The Best staff and not long wait time! Doctors and nurses were fantastic!!

She appeared very distracted typing rather than listening to me. [redacted]

I was very pleased and as I am with all my providers throughout BWH

Wonderfull experience. Actually, it is life changing

Dr Apovian is an excellent physician. I always feel seen and heard by her. She responds with caring and thoughtful advice.

I thought she was excellent. Knowledgeable and we had good communication. Would recommend highly

Very helpful. Answered all questions

I was not very happy with the visit/provider. When she heard that I was not a candidate for bariatric surgery, her attitude seemed to change towards me. I felt like I was being judged and it made me feel uncomfortable.

I just didn't get a warm feeling from the doctor. She seemed to be very serious and short in her responses. I think she just put me in a bucket versus knowing my specific circumstances. [redacted]

Caring understanding and very helpful

I left feeling hopeful. They made me feel valued.
