I have been a patient of AFP for many years now, and I don't have enough good things to say about them. Not only are the doctors professional, respectful, knowledgeable, but all the support staff are simply fantastic! In addition, Dr. Atkinson has been a tireless and stalwart advocate for access to affordable, quality health care in Massachusetts.
I have been going to Atkinson Family Practice for almost 10 years now. They are wonderful. Dr. Kate in particular is a lovely down to earth person who talks to you like a fellow human being instead of a subject to move out the door as fast as possible. She genuinely cares about her patients and stays up to date on the latest treatments. The front desk staff is kind and helpful.
The TMS treatment program at Atkinson is the hidden gem of the practice. It is a life changing therapy, and has greatly improved my mental health and quality of life. TMS is the only thing that has truly felt helpful over the many years that I have been dealing with major depression. If you are struggling with unmanageable depression, I encourage you to explore this!
For transparency’s sake, generally my experiences with psychiatry here have been inconsistent (6 years at the practice). But, I feel it is balanced by AFP’s willingness to explore different, new, and alternative options. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to have this treatment here....read full review
