Dr. Marisa M Bochman, MD

I have been a patient of Dr. Bochman for over 15 years. She has scheduled me for tests which revealed serious problems. She schedules follow-up appointments and asks relevant questions.

Cannot in good conscience recommend this physician. If you care about your health at all please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

We lived in Hamilton for twenty five years and when we relocated to Vermont the only thing that my husband and I realized we could not replicate or substitute were our primary care providers. Dr Bochman is an amazing person and an excellent (beyond excellent actucally) physician. The personalized care we have received over twenty plus years starts with Cindy and the other wonderful phone and check-in/check-out staff, extends to nurses June, Jean, Jaime and Marilyn, and the lab as well. a two and a half hour drive is not something we take lightly but it gives us peace of mind to remain with this amazing care team.

I've been a grateful and lucky patient of Dr Bochman's for over a decade. She is professional yet warm and empathetic. She is careful, meticulous and pragmatic which is incredibly helpful in a confusing healthcare environment. I would ( and do!) recommend her to family, friends, etc.

grateful and glad to be followed by a physician with a caring and empathetic manner. This doctor takes time to thoroughly respond to all concerns.

When I first started seeing Dr. Bochman several years ago, I was extremely impressed with her caring and patient demeanor. Most recently, however, over the past 3-5 appointments, she has been rude, condescending, impatient, and invalidating. For example, during my last appointment, she negated and undermined all of my complaints, blatantly failing to take the time to listen. She told me that I didn't appear to be suffering or in pain (I was in tears). Despite spending a total of about 10 minutes with me, she coded the visit as Level 4. She couldn't be bothered to follow up with me. I should also note that if I hadn't spoken up to one of nurses and had followed her previous treatment as prescribed, I very likely would've died due to a fatal drug-drug interaction she carelessly overlooked. Thanks to my medical background, I am able to advocate for myself but I truly fear for the the life of the average patient/consumer with little or no medical knowledge. It saddens me to see how her level of compassion and competence as a physician has declined so notably. After my last appointment, I left in tears, vowing to find a new Primary Care Provider immediately! I absolutely could *NOT* in good conscience recommend this physician.

I'm sorry I moved from Massachusetts because I've yet to find a doctor as caring and smart as she. She always sat down and took the time to talk to me as a person. I've a sister w/breast cancer and she always took extra care to investigate any ovarian cysts I might've had to make sure it wasn'nt ovarian cancer (as there's a link between b.c. and o.c.)
