Mary Callahan's Online Review Report Card

Always fabulous! On time efficient empathetic the best of it all. Specific individual care with a wonderful bedside manner that's so often times is missing in these days.

Strike 1. Office Staffer (Tonya) called me to remind me of a scheduled appointment the next day, however, as I told her I was an inpatient in the Hospital with ischemic colitis. She DID NOT tell Dr. Callahan but just rescheduled. When I subsequently went to the rescheduled appointment and told Dr. Callahan about the hospitalization it was the first she had heard of it. Check the date on the record request Dr. Callahan!! Strike 2. Months later I called (as instructed in a pre procedure email for a colonoscopy) to ask about when to stop taking my blood thinner and was subjected to hositity and attitude from Tonya without getting the requested information. Strike 3. I finally spoke with Dr. Callahan who defended Tonya and said she had informed her of my ischemic colitis in a timely manner and had acted appropriatley. Dr. Callahan also told me to find a new cardiologist. Done.

Mary is in fact the best. Thorough and empathic patient centered

I've been seeing her for a couple of years now after a heart incident. She's been wonderful. Testing was thorough, appropriate, and well-explained. She is relatable and took the time to answer all my questions, to explain things I didn't know to ask, and really get to know me. She let me participate in truly guiding my care. I recommend her highly.

Mary is the best!

Dr. Callahan has a very reassuring manner. She is not only thorough, but clear about any explanations. She takes her time with each patient, hands out pertinent literature and summary of the visit prior to leaving.

Misdiagnosed me, missed a major issue that I only discovered when the radiologist performing the echo pointed it out. Wasn't available and did the return phone calls from ER doctors when I went to the emergency room with severe chest pain. Abraded my skin with sandpaper, yes sandpaper to the point of bleeding and when they said they needed to "rough it up" so electrodes could stick during a stress test. Needless to say I now see a cardiologist at MGH

I would gladly recommend Dr. Callahan anytime. We met accidently at her (and my) former cardio dr's office, my former had retired over the winter, I accompanied my dear friend to meet his new cardiologist, Dr. C., she kindly came out of her office and introduced herself to me. I liked her attitude, and became a patient of hers. She was the only one of the 3 previous cardiologists I'd had that pinpointed my most pressing discomfit. I followed her to Sandwich when she opened her own office.

Excellent bedside manner. Very thorough in examination and explanation of condition and treatments. Her assistant, Tonya, is also excellent.

I trust her.That's important to me.
