About MAHEC

MAHEC is a healthcare facility that offers a variety of services for both physical and mental health needs. Patients appreciate the compassionate care provided by the medical team, particularly Dr. Neil Harwani, who is praised for his attention to detail and his exceptional bedside manner. Many patients highlight the importance of feeling listened to and understood, which is a consistent theme in their experiences with MAHEC's providers, including Dr. Verrastro and Dr. Fagan. The facility is noted for its welcoming atmosphere, with a beautiful garden that allows for a moment of relaxation. While the care team is described as caring and supportive, some patients have expressed concerns about the new triage system that directs calls to a third-party answering service. This has made it difficult for patients to communicate directly with staff, leading to feelings of impersonality and frustration. Despite these challenges, MAHEC's mental health services have expanded significantly, offering a range of therapists, counselors, and classes, making it a valuable resource for the community. Overall, MAHEC is recognized for its dedication to patient care, though improvements in communication methods are desired by some patients.

    Arrived at the education center at 11:05am on first Thursday of April 2026 by bicycle. Enjoyed a moment of rest in their beautiful welcoming garden. Needed a pitstop, so I entered, the front desk lady answered my question with a smile. On the way out I thanked her and appreciated her hire. Having a lovingly kind heart 💜 is golden up here on the hill.

    Dr. Neil Harwani(DO) is absolutely one of the best doctors I have ever seen in 53 years. His attention to detail is amazing. His bedside manner is also amazing. I have a very complex medical history with ongoing complications. For me to explain everything in detail in the allocated time for a new patient is impossible. Other doctors just rush you and don't listen to meet that time stamp. Dr. Harwani did not care about time, he cared about fully understanding my history so he could properly address my issues. This is top grade care. I am very thankful they brought me on as a new patient having my complex history. Very caring, compassionate, and understanding care team...read full review

    Dr. Verrastro is absolutely wonderful! Both of my toddlers and I see her, and she is always so kind, patient, and attentive. She really takes the time to listen to any concerns I have and explains things clearly. My kids feel comfortable with her, which means so much to me as a parent. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable doctor!
