Benjamin Costello's Online Review Report Card

I've been going to Dr. C for over 9 years. Yes I sometimes have to wait but I know when its my turn, he's going to take the time needed to address whatever issues I have. He shows a genuine concern for patients and their overall health. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Great family doctor. He truly cares for his patients. He takes the time to have real, honest conversations. He encourages a healthy lifestyle and always provides suggestions rather than prescribing a quick fix. Love him and his staff!

He was my primary doctor for two years. I did not feel respected by him. He was disdainful of issues I raised. He was not mindful of my need for certain tests. When I left my new Dr. Wondered why I had not had certain tests done while I was under his care. He did not respond to emailed questions. He seemed knowledgeable and concerned. It was not a good experience overall. Much of the care was done by a nurse practitioner as he seemed to never have open appointments for weeks on end.

Hands down the best Dr. I’ve ever had. He has the right mix of bedside manners with a no nonsense, straight forward approach. He’ll take all the time you need. I would HIGHLY recommend him if you’re looking for a quality PCP.

Dr Costello is tremendously patient and caring - a great doctor

After being referred by my gynecologist, I have been a patient of Dr. Costello for over 3 years. He takes time to listen and understands my desire to live a healthy life with clean foods and few drugs. If you want a Dr. to treat you as an intelligent adult, he's the guy for you! I have also seen other Drs. in his office and their nurse practitioner and they are all great.

Dr. Costello recommended an excellent nutrition video called, "Forks over Knives". For that I am very grateful. He is very practical and efficient. He can be pretty abrupt if he thinks there is nothing wrong with you.

dr Costello feels that his time is more important than his patients. He can be late for your appt but you cannot. If you are he will not see you and will make you reschedule appt. Poor way to serve your patients.

Dr. Costello is my new primary physician referred by Dr. Theodore Marty III.My thoughts during and immediately following my first few visits were ... "I like this man's sincere interest in my well-being; I am in good hands; I am well!"All of my friends now know about my new doctor a professional, a gentleman and a friend.

When I called to make an appointment with one of the doctors at Mount Auburn Internal Medicine, I asked the staff person to select someone who will take the time to listen to me. The staff person recommended Dr. Costello. I had actually already viewed the profiles and photos of the doctors at this practice and was hoping she would select him. I could tell from his picture that he is intelligent. From his online photo, I judged him to be in his early 40s. But he is actually in his early 30s, younger than me! I was, however, correct about his intelligence. He is very cerebral. He has a wonderful bedside manner. He listened to my entire story and asked many questions. I was astounded that he spent around 40 minutes with me. I highly recommend him, despite his youth. If you really want someone to listen and take the time to diagnose you, then he's your doctor. However, I can understand why one might want a doctor with more experience. It's just that these doctors tend to spend less than 15 minutes with you.
