Avoid this place if you hold marginalized identities! If I could give a negative rating, I would. Western Mass is not an easy place to get around with the limited infrastructure. In 2020, the governor banned Uber/Lyft/etc, and so many low-income drivers couldn't work. There are countless other transportation issues. Before I get into the main story, I asked the receptionist, when I was scheduling my appointment, if there were any physicians of color.
She responded angrily and replied, "Oh no, we don't have that here!" Now, based on the state intlfrastructure, I called to let her know that I would be 9 minutes late after explaining the situation. She forced me to cancel and said that it wouldn't be fair to other patients because they would arrive on time. she was generally very rude. I also responded that it's weird that you all don't have doctors ofcolor. She then angrily responded, "Don't bring that nonsense in here" and then she hung up on me.

I have been going to VMG for over 35 years and I have received nothing but the best care I can imagine. When I call for an appointment it is made immediately, when I arrive at the designated time I never have to wait for more than a few minutes and every provider I have worked with has been respectful, knowledgeable, and has given me wonderful care. I love that the lab is right there, as is x-ray, Physical Therapy, podiatry, etc. I would not hesitate to recommend VMG to anyone.

The customer service front desk team needs a detailed workshop on active listening, and patient communication training. The standard procedure of quick hang ups, and spelling foreign names is a hard task. I was hung on on twice because I was told, "Well there's a shortage of doctors right now.: *click* " This is not a good look for anyone especially with services dealing with citizen's life and health. Don't bother going here. Every facet of insurance health doctor anxiety can be showcased here. You're gonna have a bad time.

Made an appointment with their cardiologist, Dennis Reison, two months in advance. Less than a week before the appointment I received a text saying my appointment was canceled. That's it. Later I got an email saying that there was a conflict, and telling me to reschedule. Not even his secretary called to explain or apologize. Why telling me only now? I'm withdrawing from that practice. I can't trust them.

The turnover of staff / doctors here is VERY HIGH! My kids and I have seen several doctors each; every time we think we are in good hands, we get disappointed when they leave (often within the year). My 17 year old son has had 4 different doctors in the past 3 years. I also had 3 different therapists there and they all left after 3-5 months. I GIVE UP! I am going to switch to a new provider. This place is so frustrating.
