The-Doc-Is-In Urgent Primary Care D.O.W.

DO NOT COME HERE!!! I knocked on the door and the «doctor,» handed me a clipboard to fill out (standard) stained with blood (not standard). I ask him for another that wasn’t blood stained and he rolled his eyes at me and slammed the door in my face. #psychopath #thispersonneedstobelockedup #insane

I had a friend visiting me in boston for her birthday weekend. I felt nauseous all weekend long, but on Sunday, it was unbearable. We had special plans and I was running to the bathroom every few hours to throw up. We were in the city and I needed something quick to make the nausea subside so we could continue on with our special day. I Googled «urgent care» and found this place immediately. I called the Dr. and got in right away. I wasn’t expecting a tiny, cluttered, one person practice, but I was also desperate. The dr. Was very thorough when asking questions in regards to how I was feeling and preformed a quick examination. He soon determined I had a UTI. I was given a prescription for antibiotics and medicine to help with my nausea until the infection cleared. Later that evening I felt fine and I enjoyed my friends birthday with her. Overall: Was it ideal? No. Strange? Sure. Would I go somewhere else if I wasn’t in the situation is was in? Probably. But I got what I needed: in and out fast and the meds to prevent me from vomiting all day. If your in a hurry and you really don’t feel well, go. It’s worth it, even if the experience is a little strange.

No one .No Doc
Since ~ Jan 8 I’m looking for the Doc but he’s «Out „
Today Feb 1. Again I walked in (luckily cause someone open the entrance door for me)
and the old sign on the Doc door say “. resume on Jan 15 »

This guy is a crook. DO NOT COME HERE. He prescribed me medicine over the phone without even seeing me, and then had the cheek to get me to come in and then send me a $ 400 bill without even any slightest consultation or examination. He had the nerve to lie to my primary care doctor that we had a consultation or even something more than one minute of small talk. This is close to fraud — do not come here!!!

This is place is nothing fancy but does the trick. I went in when I got sick while on vacation in Boston and was in and out within ten minutes. There’s a CVS next door where the doctor sends prescriptions so the whole thing shouldn’t take more than an hour. The only con is that the doctors office itself is really messy. Since I was only in there briefly I didn’t mind but I can imagine it being annoying if your visit is longer.

I had a really positive experience here. I was able to see the doctor on very short notice after making an appointment online. He was professional and prompt but also quite friendly. Yes, it’s not a streamlined corporate office, but I would definitely return.

LONG STORY SHORT: DO NOT GO HERE.
I went to the Doc-​Is-​In two weeks ago to figure out why I had had a headache and nausea for a week (at that point). I only went there because the hospital urgent care was closed and I couldn’t afford an ER visit.
Anyway, upon arriving I was instantly sketched out. I had a hard time figuring out how to get in, since I wasn’t told I would have to be buzzed in, and after that the elevators were very creaky and small. This is probably because it’s an old elevator in an old Boston building, but still. It irked me.
Then, I got up to the office. I waited outside on some mismatched furniture and was seen promptly. At first glance, the doctor seemed fine, but once he opened the door to his one room office, I was instantly taken aback.
It was a cluttered room full of a mix of office papers, medical supplies, and a desk. It did not look sanitary nor organized. There were needles and jars and med stuff everywhere, all of which looked like they had either rust or blood on them.
After telling him my symptoms he did a very vague check up (pressed on my sinuses and my head and then eventually took my temperature after finding a working thermometer) and then did not listen to my concerns. I was pretty sure I had the flu or something wrong with my brain. After all, most people don’t have headaches and nausea for a week straight. He promptly told me that I had a sinus infection, and prescribed me a Z pac, Mucinex, and ibuprofen. I was doubtful, but took the prescription and filled it at my local CVS.
After four days my headache didn’t go away. I threw up instantly after leaving the doc-​is-​in and continued to for days after that. I went to the hospital on Thursday, where they were very concerned for my condition. At this point it had been two weeks, and after blood work and an MRI, they told me I had mono.
So, much like another poster on this site– The Doc Is In misdiagnosed me with a sinus infection when I had mono.
I would not recommend his service to anyone.

A slight of a knife and I needed stitches on the Fourth of July. Dr. Delmartine was very responsive to my call.
This is an urgent care walk in facility. Am alternative to an er for non life threatening issues. I was seen immediately by a caring professional. He made me comfortable and at ease and painlessly stitched me up. Chatting along the way I learned of his non profit work. I found I our conversation inspiring and refreshing to hear.
I found him to be caring kind and efficient for an urgent issue.
I was very satisfied.

I would strongly advise you to not use this office for any of your urgent care needs.
Extremely disappointed with the limited interaction that I had with this office. I had emailed the office on a Sunday evening, and I was initially relieved to receive a response so quickly. It was for a minor infection, and the person I corresponded with said that he had called my Rx to my pharmacy.
After calling the pharmacy today to find out that no Rx was ever called in, I was even more frustrated with the service I received on the phone. The person who answered said he did me a «huge favor» for calling me in the prescription, claiming he was out of the country when doing so, but I should come into the office for a consultation. He deferred my question several times to confirm whether or not he actually called in my Rx. I seriously doubt this person was a physician, but I would be even more dissatisfied if he was.

**UPDATE: It turns out I had mono, not a sinus infection, and the doctor not only misdiagnosed me but also gave me penicillin which can cause a very uncomfortable rash when mixed with mono. Although I didn’t dislike the experience at the office, I have to say this ended up being a bad result that cost several more doctor visits and a lot of discomfort. The doctor I went to later was surprised that anyone would diagnose my swollen glands as a sinus infection.
*****
This place was hard to find – the name wasn’t on the door (and «Urgent Care» is the only thing I found listed on the buzzer), and when you get up to the 8^th floor it seems like you are in the wrong place. Everything is very functional – there is just one room (and just one doctor doing everything) so patients wait in the hall outside. So nothing fancy, but the doctor himself (Dr. Demertine?) was very friendly and efficient, and he diagnosed my sinus infection and called in a prescription right away. He seemed competent, and I actually appreciated the whole thing not having a hospital feel. I didn’t have to put on a gown or get moved from waiting room to waiting room. Plus, despite there being someone ahead of me, I was in and out in 15 minutes. Quite a relief! I would definitely recommend this place.

Super sketchy place. I went there last night around 10:15pm because it was the only urgent care I could find in the area that was open and I really didn’t feel like sitting in the emergency room all night. I made an appointment online about an hour before I showed up and when I got there, the doctor told me that I was lucky I had caught him because he was about to leave (even though the place says they are open until midnight online). He then asked me what I was in for and I told him… and he proceeded to call CVS next door to have them fill 2 prescriptions for me. He didn’t ask me any more clarifying questions about what symptoms I was having to be sure, he only asked what medications I was allergic to. I was out the door of his office within 15 minutes tops. After picking up the prescriptions at CVS, I was home within the hour.
The office itself is an absolute mess. There’s papers, envelopes, and clutter everywhere you look. It’s one big room and looks like the farthest thing from a doctor’s office so I thought I had walked into the wrong place at first!
I gave an extra star because it was the fastest service I have ever received and he did give me the correct prescriptions for what I was feeling (after confirming this with my doctor this morning) but this place is so sketchy, I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Fastest urgent care I have ever been to. You can schedule an appointment online; a variety of options for times to be seen. Doctor was very friendly and caring, and was quickly able to identify which infection I. He prescribed me the medications which I was able to pick up right away at the CVS next door. had

I was in Boston from out of town and started getting some symptoms of an allergic reaction. I Unilocaled Urgent Cares in the area and this is what I found.
When I got there around 10 a.m., I buzzed and buzzed and buzzed the door. Finally got in when someone came out. Got to the office, and ironically (given the name of the business) the doc was not in. There was a sign on the door with his number saying he accepts texts or calls. I did both. He listened to my symptoms and was willing to call me in RXs at the CVS next door, but I had to come back and see him before 11 p.m. that night.
New patient? Meds before exam? I appreciated his willingness to treat me ASAP, but I didn’t feel right about it at the same time, especially because I felt like what he wanted to call me in was the wrong thing. I ended up calling my doctor instead, and yes, she called me in something totally different (and the symptoms went away).
This seems like your guy if you need meds quick, fast and in a hurry, but only for diagnoses that are certain.

Not sure how there are any positive reviews of this place…
Horrible, horrible place. Not only was it SUPER sketchy, but the doctor had no idea what he was doing. Luckily I decided not to follow through with what he suggested (he wanted to stick me with a foot long needle but it looked dirty so I declined), and when I finally went to the actual hospital with my health problem, I told them what the guy at clinic had wanted to do to treat me, and they couldn’t believe it. He also prescribed me 4 medicines– 2 of which I was allergic to! And two of which did not make sense for what was wrong with me (said the real hospital). The real hospital literally told me to make sure no one ever went here, and what he recommended for me and prescribed to me was legitimately dangerous.
Furthermore, they keep sending me bills months later!!! I called the office to inquire why, and the doctor yelled at me. Still confused why…
Also there is another Unilocal account for the same place and it has a bunch of negative reviews too (including my same one), check it out:

Last week I read all these reviews and was happy to see all the positive feedback this walk-​in clinic received. I spent 3 days completely miserable with a big cough, stuffy nose, and dizziness but suspected it to be bronchitis since I remembered having these same symptoms previously. I knew I needed to find somewhere near work ASAP and I don’t have a primary physician here yet.
I made an appointment on their website I Googled but to be safe called the office to make sure it went through and spoke with man who said he got the time. I left work early and arrived at the address. It was a bit confusing to get in but I followed someone who had key access and went to the 8^th floor. I couldn’t really see any signs where the office was so walked around for a minute. As I approached the door I noticed it was locked and knocked but heard the doctor sending out the person in front of me so I got to go right in. There’s only 1 doctor, no receptionist.
The office itself is SUPER sketchy. There is crap everywhere and it is so disorganized. At first glance there are a million papers, boxes, couches and even a guitar — maybe he would serenade my bronchial blues away! But I filled out the paperwork and he took me behind the «screen» to check my symptoms. He diagnosed me right away with bronchitis and prescribed me a bunch of stuff, and called it right in next-​door to the CVS which was super convenient. The doctor is nice but it was a bit hard to understand him. He was soft-​spoken and kind of timid.
Then he got right down to payment. My insurance apparently doesn’t cover «urgent care» so I had to pay $ 40! Just for that! If I knew that ahead of time I would have probably gone to a different walk-​in clinic so just be mindful of that.
All in all, I think I’d only go back if I knew exactly what was wrong and what prescription I needed and if I needed it super quickly. The appointment itself lasted no longer than 15 minutes including filling out paperwork and paying, so if you are the impatient patient at the doctor’s this is definitely the place for you.

Went and seen the Doctor this afternoon. It was like the Doctor I grew up with. If you are looking for a big box urgent care office, this is the the place. If you are lookimg for an old school Doctor’s office where Dr DeMertine will be no BS and actually take care of you and your Medical needs. I will use the good doctor again!!!

This was a great find.
After being way too stoic and descending into very sick over the weekend, I was looking for a walk in clinic that could save me the time and expense an urban ER would cost me. I know I needed a good run of antibiotics to beat down a respiratory infection. The Dr. was courteous, knowledgable, effective and informative as to my next steps. He called in the script to the CVS next door and bam I on my way to feeling lots better. Great alternative and good location.

This morning I started experiencing a severe allergic reaction and this was the first place that came up on my google maps entitled «urgent care walk in clinic.» When I went there, they told me to come back in an hour and wouldn’t even let me into the building. I explained it was an emergency and I needed help and they offered me none.

Simple and quick. I went with a terrible sinus infection, sore throat, and cough. I showed up right when the office opened and didn’t have to wait at all.
The Doctor was friendly and efficient! He examined and diagnosed me quickly, and called in my prescription to the CVS downstairs. I was out the door in less than 15 minutes (including filling out the paperwork).

My friends were visiting me in Boston and one of them started having symptoms of an UTI. Since it was a Sat and we were new in the area, we googled for a hospital or urgent care that was close to where we were so we could get in quickly and get on with our vacation.
It’s located in an easily accessible part on Boylston St. but it’s not too clearly advertised. You have to be buzzed into the building and it’s on the 8^th floor. It seems like a residential or small commercial building so it was pretty desolate.
This is actually a one doctor practice and it’s in a small room. It’s def a no frills place as we were basically in and out in about 10 – 15 min. Since there is a CVS just next to the building my friend was able to get the antibiotics pretty quickly.
It’s a good place if you need someone to see for something fast and not too complicated. Also, it’s an okay place if you don’t mind going into a pretty empty building alone and sitting in a doctor’s office that’s basically one room with lots of papers and books everywhere.
