"Dr. Fader contacted my EP team in Boston and we all developed a plan to follow. Dr. Fader phoned my a week later to check in on me... He is an amazing doctor."
— Larry B. via Birdeye"Interviews with Jefferson and five other patients at OCHS revealed a few common themes: appointments that are canceled at the last minute, referrals to specialists that languish, and extreme difficulty getting answers over the phone."
— The Provincetown Independent"Walk-in care is NOT covered by private insurance. ... Desk staff in PTown informs me that since July 1, 2025 they emphatically do NOT offer "Urgent Care" and are NOT covered by private insurance."
