Very personable and supportive. I appreciated his feedback.
Provider seemed prepared knew my background. But I don't like virtual visits . Provider does not offer in person. Wasn't sure what the next step was . Had to ask him. I HAVE SHARED THIS SEVERAL TIMES WITH MGH YOU'RE COMMUNICATIONS HAS SLIPPED IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS
It was very thorough and comprehensive, and I look forward to working with everyone that I'm referred to. After three years, it was finally a beginning to look forward to. Again, very, very positive experience. Thank you.
Excellent experience. I felt heard and understood. I left with a plan and I feel hopeful for the first time in many months. The experience has motivated me to step up my efforts in terms of healthy habits (diet, meditation etc).
Dr. Mehta was very kind, personable and brilliant. I enjoyed the conversation.
I was very pleased w Dr Mehta. He seems quite good, very proactive, fast thinking, and listened carefully to my many horrible symptoms. I wish I met w him sooner. Didn't waste any time. Very fastidious and judicious.
He was very thorough and professional.
He was very clear; however I got the impression that he was somewhat pressed for time, or perhaps had to keep to a schedule that necessitated him moving more quickly through the session than was best.
Wonderful, wonderful doctor, listens closely, very, very knowledgeable, spent a lot of time with me. A plus, wonderful provider.
He was compassionate and cared about my well being. Very professional.
