John Fetchero, DO

He listens and he really cares about the patient.

He's a good ptovider

He showed plenty of concern. I cannot and won't deny that. However, he suggested the possibility of sepsis getting into my bloodstream, and how I have a couple of the criteria that could make that so. To me, it just seemed a bit premature to bring up something like that and scare me. But that's just my opinion. I don't doubt that he's a very good doctor.

Seems like a good doctor

Took a call in the middle of my appointment. Propped the door open to ask me if I was all set. Left. I literally can't believe it's legal to charge me for an annual exam. "Robbed me". I have to wait another year now. I was left in the room and picked up my papers myself. Went in the hallway where I saw the medical assistant who checked me in. She was very nice. I explained to her I would never see him again. While she was reviewing the paperwork with me the doctor strolls out of a room where he took his phone call and asks me in the hallway with the medical assistant if I have any more questions as he felt bad for what he did - like I'm going to ask him my questions in a hallway. I was honestly horrified. I will never visit any Core or Lahey facilities again or recommend you. Call me if you want. He owes me a personal apology and I should be able to get a real annual physical exam. [NAME]. Also, did I mention I waited 1 hour past my appointment time just to see the doctor.

I have referred many to Core Physicians and particularly to Dr Fetchero. He is a very knowledgable, kind and personable.

Distracted by phone calls twice during physical. Left room during physical for a 15min call with the hospital, then received another call and left a second time for 5 minutes. He did apologize. I understand emergencies happen but it didn't sound urgent. Felt that other physicians he was speaking to were prioritized over my time with the doctor. Do not appreciate that he does his dictation during the visit. Sometimes dictating before I finish explaining or him assessing me. So the information he dictates isn't correct because I hadn't had a chance to finish communicating. MD concerned most with policies and standards of care instead of providing personal healthcare for my needs. Was significantly behind schedule. He was nice and apologetic but definitely was over busy and rushing.

DR FETCHERO LISTENS AND TAKES HIS TIME

I would recommend Dr. F to my friends. He is an outstanding physician and very patient.

Thoughtful, respectful, and knowledgeable.
