The medical care that I have received from Dr. Hession has been excellent. COVID has really put a wrench in the ability for medical personnel to see sick patients. But the Portal has been a life savior and I have had to rely on that to arrange zoom calls. The Staff has been very supportive!!

I am giving one star only for the simple fact that I do believe Dr. ONeil cares about his patients to some extent. This practice is unorganized and simply put, they have no idea what they are doing unfortunately this office is like many others where money absolutely is above patient care and all else. The front desk ladies are rude and have no idea what they are speaking about when it comes to insurance BUT they sure like to argue as if they are experts. Wait times are always long Except for Televisits. The lab is a MESS and by mess I mean I dont even like having labs drawn there. The

Abandonment - When you need assistance from an actual doctor they will not be available for 6 months. Same exact experience everyone else is having. I have been a patient of one of the drs for nearly 20 years and I liked him on a personal level. My hope was as I got older, I would have the support of a Dr. knew me personally and was able to assist if my needs increased. In the past, if it was urgent, I could count on him stepping up. Has not been the case for several years. The office/practice has done nothing but get worse and it was never good. If you want a bill generating factory with little

It really saddens me to write this. I've been a patient for years and am now in the market for a new practice. My PCP in Enfield is a good person and good doctor, but the practice itself is a mess. Like others stated, communication is a major problem. I'm not going to review my medical history, but last fall I had an issue that was of serious concern to me. I never actually saw my PCP (despite asking) and had to see a PA. It was really uncomfortable and then I had to chase her down for a return phone call, lab results and the referral. If you call them on the phone you sit on hold for a long time

This office is terrible! I've been waiting for a referral to a neurologist since April 23, 2021. Had abnormal MRI on May 8, 2021. Still symptomatic. I called the office on 5/18, 5/21, 5/26, 5/28. Heather, Karen, and Kristin have assured me that someone will call me back. My messages have been forwarded to Gina Ahern. They tell me that she is the highest person at Springfield/Enfield Medical Associates. They tell me there's no CEO. They just don't care. Does anyone have advice?
