This MD provides minimal explanations. Does not give clear instructions. Difficult to talk with. I feel uncomfortable asking him questions.

Review for Dr. Sorokin

I was very impressed after meeting Dr Leary. She was understanding and listened to what I had to say. It had been a long time since I had a primary care, and she insured I received all the testing I needed plus sent authorizations for needed appointments not part of UMASS.

Review for Dr. Leary

Listens - sits down and talks to you - took the time to review information in my chart before my appt -takes time to explain - provides choices - very caring

Review for Dr. Arous

If you want a doctor who aims to do the bare minimum required of her both physically and ethically, whose only passion for the craft seems to be in how fast she can conduct an appointment and shoo you out of the office, and whose 3 favorite words are 'ask someone else'... she's your gal.
