I've been seeing Dr Bulger for just a few years but many in my family also rely on him for their healthcare issues. He listens to you and takes you through steps to help make you well once more and recommend outside help and willing to let another treat you. Excellent listener, responds immediately to phone calls made to office. Has wonderful staff working for him. I see him being our doctor for a very long time

I should have submitted this a year ago. I have never had such disappointment with, even contempt for a physician. I have an extraordinary medical history. For a first ( and I made sure, last, appointment in July, 2015 ), Dr Bulger gave me less than five minutes. He wasn't merely lacking in curiosity, he was bored. He had no interest in listening to me. If he had, he would not have prescribed a medication which sickened me so badly I had to go to the ER. In my opinion, he's a very bad doctor. A few weeks later I was told by a hospital social worker that I'm far from alone in my view of him.

After having my previous doctor for nearly 30 years and he retiring, I feared I would never find another dr. I loved as much as him. I did. Dr. Bulger is one of the most courteous, caring, friendly, and knowledgeable drs. I have met. While I don't look forward to being sick I do look forward to seeing him. It's like visiting a friend. He has always been very accurate in my diagnosis and always makes sure to follow up. Seriously I could not stress enough how amazing he is. After loosing my other dr. and going through a 'search' for a new one I must say he has got to be the best doctor around!

Though there does seem to routinely be a wait, Dr. Bulger is very gracious and thorough once you see him. I think he is one of the best doctors regarding patient care. I would recommend him highly.
