I have been with my primary care provider, Dr. Eileen Hession for many many years(30 plus years). She has always shown me complete respect. She is attentive and makes me feel that she cares about me as a individualized patient and person. Her team is always prompt and courteous with , more than quick, response. I feel very grateful for my TEAM through Mass General as well as Dr Hession's ongoing dedication to my wellbeing.

I was impressed with the facility and the timely manner that I was taken care of. The receptionist nurses and the doctor were very courteous, respectful, and paid very much attention to my needs. And they helped me with the things that I was looking to be seen for, and I would recommend them to anybody.

The medical staff is always very welcoming and provide for an opportunity to discuss any medical concerns I have had. Personal interaction is so important when asking questions about ones health. However, is there any way that the glass shield could be minimized to make it easier to talk to the receptionist? Very restrictive especially for your older clients.

This is a new PCP for me and my first visit with her. The experience was excellent and the provider and the nurse were very welcoming, professional, paid close attention to my comments and questions and had great bedside manners. Some questions on this questionnaire are too rigid in their reply options and it's impossible to answer some of them more accurately. Thank you.

That's the best thoughts I have in my entire life. I like the way you explain. I like the way you treat people. I like the way you always with smile and that's right, always asking questions. If you feel comfortable, if you're okay, if you have any other questions to tell them before you left the office. And then if you come in, you feel any sense or anything, just give us a call back. She's so awesome. I cannot have explanation enough to explain about her, how good she is. Thank you. Thank you.
