Benjamin H Maeck III, MD

Never met a Dr. like him! Randomly found his details on my preferred insurance GP list and made 1^st appt. Had my visit today and he is just so intelligent, quirky, logical and decent. Ecstatic I have such an amazing Dr linked to the adjoining hospital/​ER. Can’t say enough good words about him and his office manager, Alexander. What a gem of a medical expert!

I found Dr. Maeck on the USCIS website as he is a civil surgeon authorized to perform the medical exam required in the green card application process.
I called and had an appointment within days. After the check-​up he directed me to a lab near my work to have the required blood tests done, and I just had to come back a few days later to pick up the form I-​693 he had completed.
Because I had received the BCG vaccine for tuberculosis when I was younger and it is typically not used in the US there was a slight difference in the testing process and he clearly explained the multiple options available to me.
The price did seem high ($ 300) but I didn’t mind much as my company was covering the costs of the entire green card process.
A few days ago I received confirmation that my green card was approved, so evidently there were no issues with the paperwork he had completed!

You don’t get medical attention like Dr. Maeck these days. He gives you his time and knowledge. This man is dedicated to healing and one on one attention. Happy to call him my Dr.

Great personality, smart guy. Funny guy. His office manager is legit too. Had an urgent care appointment, and his office manager squeezed me in the next day. Props for being accommodating. Extremely satisfied

Couldn’t be happier that I found Dr. Maeck and Alexander. His Unilocal reviews got me to call, and nothing I can say hasn’t already been said in these reviews.
Dr. Maeck is available, personable, and tells it how it is. If he senses there’s an problem, he puts the steps in place to provide a solution. I’ve never had trouble getting in to see him for a visit, even on short notice.
Alexander runs the office with precision; my hat is off to him. Dr. Maeck if you’re reading this, give Alexander another raise. He deserves every bit of it.
The best thing Dr. Maeck has done for me so far is followed-​up with a phone call. Simple. Folks that experience moderate to severe medical problems will see the doctor for diagnosis, get treated, feel better, pay out the ass when the bills come in, and never hear from the doctor again.
A couple weeks after a health scare that was initially diagnosed by Dr. Maeck and later resolved by several visits to specialists at St. Mary’s Hospital, Dr. Maeck called me to see how I was feeling. None of the other doctors I had seen during this scare called, but Dr. Maeck did. He wanted to make sure that I was not only feeling better, but that we were taking the steps necessary to prevent the illness from ever coming back. It feels really good to know that your medical practitioner genuinely cares about your health and well being.
Thanks Dr. Maeck. As long as you are practicing, I will be your patient.

Dr. Maeck is awesome! He’s a nice guy, knows his stuff, and most importantly cares and is obviously a people person. Was great visiting him…

Wow, I can’t believe everyone has been seeing the same doctor I went to. I gave him a chance over a period of time but the exams were indifferent (didn’t bother to get really basic stuff), he did chat a lot however. Over the course of being his patient what he did do was issue blood tests that he would insist I come to the office to have done vs providing a lab slip for taking to an outpatient lab like every other medical practitioner I’ve been to (most of whom will even simply fax the lab form and call back with results). My insurance bills explained a lot though, even though I’d only go to have the blood drawn, a couple of minutes phlebotomy only with no ‘visit’, my bills revealed that I was also being charged $$ for an office visit. So having me come in for blood draws just seemed like a path to charging for something that really did not transpire which is not ethical to say the least.

Dr. Maeck listens and is there to treat you as a person. He remembers your name, does not require an extra 20 minutes to review your chart because he is on top of it. It is hard to find a Doctor you can trust and speak with, but I have to say I have found both in him. He rocks. Alexander, his «air traffic controller» keeps the office flowing and is the most polite young man ever to be seen in a doctors office. Between the two of them you know you are in good hands

Dr. Maeck is completely awesome. He listened to my concerns with a genuine care and even opened his handy medical book to show me some pictures. His receptionist was lovely and helpful, and he called me in person to explain my blood results. I am used to waiting forever and then being passed off to a nurse practitioner, and that was far from the case with Dr. Maeck. I highly recommend him and am grateful that I found him after doing my own research on Unilocal

Truly the best doctor I’ve ever come across. He cares about his patients, and really takes the time to know you as a person. I could go on and on about this MD. I’m very picky and he’s very, very, very good.

Dr. Maeck is the best. My entire family goes to him now. He keeps his practice small and personal. It’s really nice to have a true doctor!

As a followup to my review back in 2006, Dr Maeck is still as awesome as he was since day one (which was in 2005). I recently had a nasty knife cut. He saw me that very morning after I called, stitched me up himself and has been super attentive in following up with me and having me drop in on two occasion since (being prone to infection as a diabetic this is much appreciative). My friends are always in awe and want to know who my Dr. is and I have never hesitated to recommend him.

Starting close to 40 years ago, I began a journey though the world of Western Medicine. Because of a chronic illness, my life wound around many doctors and medical facilities. Medicine has saved my life and I am most appreciative of that fact.
I have experienced a very wider cadre of what makes a good and sometimes, great doctor. Benjamin Maeck has been my primary physician for about five or six years. To feel comfortable with a doctor, I need to feel he or she is honestly taking personal interst in me. Over the years, I have witnessed Dr Maeck ‘s style of my treatment very personal and comprehensive. He takes an honest interest in my life.
Dr Maeck’s practice is successful because he is a careful and caring physician. He obviously keeps up on all the most up-​to-​date medical technology and pharmaceutical information.
I trust my life with my physicians — Dr Benjamin Maeck is my lead doctor and I feel extremely cofident and comfortable having him in that place in my life.

Ok. I dont wrote many reviews, but I have to sound off about this guy.
My first visit to Dr. Maeck was for a physical in which he had a great bedside manner and seemed to be a genuine person. So when I was actually sick I went back to him. Worst mistake I have made thus far. I had a headache, elevated fever, and generally felt like someone hit me with a bus. I assumed flu.
Since Dr. Maeck was so great the first time, I assumed he knew what he was talking about. When he took my temperature and he saw it was 103 he literally said «Oh, my God!» kind of panicked and told me he thought I might have a brain bleed because I had a high fever and a headache. Yes, a brain bleed. You can imagine what was going through my head and that I needed to go to the emergency room right away.
We get down to the emergency room (he did walk me down) in which I am freaking out on top of being sick. They check me in and run a MRI, do the swine flu test and so on. After three hours in the hospital and IV of fluids and four advil later, I felt fine. WTH?!
The emergency room doctor said it was Sinus infection and slight dehydration! Even after they tell Dr. Maeck this, he still attempts to order a blood test that the ER doctors told me was pretty much BS. I declined thank god.
How does a brain bleed go to Sinus infection?! I have been to good doctors before that would have never been an alarmist or fail to check for basic problems before sending someone into the hospital, but this guy did.
After this whole ordeal; I am stuck with $ 1900 bill after insurance in which more random bills keep showing up. Total bill logged in at $ 5,000
My take is this, I will graciously give up beside manner if they know what he or she are talking about. Only go to him for routine check ups not illness.

I’ve never really had a primary care physician. Instead, I have gone to specialists. I really underestimated what an INCREDIBLE primary care doc can do for you. Dr. Maeck has made me feel comfortable living in the city, that if anything were ever to happen to me, he could help. His receptionist is awesome, and they will always try to accommodate your schedule. Dr. Maeck was in school to be an anesthesiologist, but decided he wanted to really help people instead and went in to internal medicine.
I know he has helped me. He’s by far the best doctor I’ve ever had.

I haven’t seen him yet, but I just got off the phone with him. When I called, his message said he would be out of the office until late afternoon today. He called me at 5:52, apologized for calling so late, then asked how soon I needed to be seen. I laughed and answered, «Oh, probably last week».
«Okay, how about 3 pm tomorrow?»
Are you kidding me? Most of the other docs I called today had appointments weeks, if not months out. I am already super impressed!

As you can see I usually only give reviews for really amazing or really terrible places… mostly amazing although I second guess sharing my favorite finds.
Benjamin Maeck is one of my most favoritest finds of 2008. I put off finding a new doctor for awhile. It’s so painful… how do you pick a good doctor? Then you call and they aren’t accepting new patients or something.
Well, I searched Unilocal and it led me to BMIII MD. He is even better than my old Dr. Don’t bitch if you have to wait 15 — 30 minutes to get into see him. I find that super annoying considering: most people are late probably throwing off most dr’s schedules in the first place and do you really want him to watch the seconds tick and tock and kick you out when your 20 minutes are up? This is typical of all dr appointments in my experience including dentists.
Now…to the bizness. He is very knowledgeable, attentive, caring and actually has a genuine interest in his patients. For my first visit I started fresh since I had put off appt. for 2 years (bad!). He called me personally with my results even though they were all normal and he is actually committed and cares about his patients.
Now I don’t want everyone to go calling him!

Dr. Maeck ROCKS. I didn’t realize how good I had it till I saw how accommodating he was in squeezing me in for an appt so I wouldn’t have to take time off work – even if it meant seeing me on a day the office was closed. And he’s caring enough to return calls when he’s supposed to be gone for the week.
While he and his receptionist make a great team, often times, it seems he can (and does) do everything himself without needing the obligatory assistants. Funny and intelligent, he’s all you can want in a doc, and then some. I almost want something to be wrong with me because I know I’ll be in good hands.

What a great doctor and a great doctors office. I was referred to Dr. Maeck by some friends and after reading the Unilocal reviews, decided to go. Even from the moment I called, things were perfect. The receptionist was warm and friendly. I showed up, she was still nice. I met the doc, he was nice too.
His anatomy book is fantastic. He actually got me to understand what was wrong with me. When I went to the Bodies exhibit a few weeks after, I got all excited because I could show others which muscle was all screwed up!
Not only did the doc listen, but he went into preventative things as well and scheduled me for something in for a general check up to make sure that some things that I was experiencing weren’t coming from other things. It wasn’t the in and out that you usually have in doctors offices. He talks to you and wants to hear the things that you aren’t telling him.
I would be happy recommend him to anyone!

To say that I am pleased with Dr. Maeck is an understatement.
Dr. Maeck actually took a surprising amount of time to sit down with me and talk about my injury with references to his library and props in his office that explained my issue. He’s also a cyclist of sorts so we talked bike stuff.
A Dr. with an interest in helping and knowing his patients. Nice work Dr. Maeck.
