"Dr. McGinnis is the most thorough healthcare provider I have ever seen. He listened to all my concerns, asked questions, and took very detailed notes."
— Mass General Brigham Provider Directory"Dr Bernstein is the best neurologist I have ever worked with. and I've worked with about 12. Is a true collaboration working with her."
— Mass General Brigham Provider Directory"The billing department has no clue what they are doing. I called multiple times to verify my appointment would be covered by insurance... they assured me the worst case scenario would be to pay a higher copay. Well, you can guess what happened. Insurance didn't pay and I was stuck paying $400 out of pocket."
