Detailed Introduction

The Mattapan+community+health+center" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">Mattapan community health Center (MCHC) is a private, non-profit healthcare organization that has been serving the Mattapan, Dorchester, Roxbury, and Hyde Park neighborhoods of Boston, as well as nearby suburbs, since its founding in 1972. Originally established as the Avenue Neighborhood Health Center, it was officially incorporated under its current name in 1974. MCHC's mission is to improve the health and well-being of the diverse populations it serves by providing accessible, comprehensive, and culturally sensitive integrated health services, regardless of a patient's ability to pay. As a Federally Qualified Health Center, MCHC is a vital resource for its community, which is often medically underserved and faces significant health disparities. The center provides a broad array of services for individuals of all ages. Key offerings include family medicine, family dental services, and a robust behavioral health department that provides counseling, psychiatric evaluations, and substance use treatment through its Office-Based Addiction Treatment (OBAT) program. Other services include family planning, HIV screening and care, and community-based health programs. The center also operates a school-based health center at the Young Achievers School. MCHC is committed to its community and its new, state-of-the-art 59,000-square-foot facility is designed to meet the growing demand for its services. This new building has allowed for the expansion of medical and dental services and includes a pharmacy on-site, which was the first in Mattapan Square in over three decades. MCHC is recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Patient-Centered Medical Home with Distinction in Behavioral Health, highlighting its commitment to high-quality, integrated care. The center's diverse staff is dedicated to addressing the unique needs of its patient population, which includes a large number of Caribbean immigrants and individuals living below the federal poverty line.

I would not recommend the dental clinic at all. Since Dr. Samuel passed away the dentist service is horrible. I moved my children and I new to a new clinic. My front crown fell out and they wouldn't simply mix a temporary bond and send me on my way. Dr. Sam would never! The manager told me they would give me a call 2 weeks ago and offered to pay my Uber fee to get the procedure done if I they found another dental office to handle it.

Never heard from them. I left several messages and never received a call back not 1. The medical field is all about money nowadays sadly. Definitely not about the patients well being. I miss Dr. Sam 😔.

Very rude, especially Becky with the good hair. Poor immunization skills and horrible customer service. I had to push to get the receptionist to inquire with the back office staff. Furthermore there were black little bugs crawling on us in the waiting room. The medical assistant took my daughter’s height and said she was 4. 8… which was completely wrong. She’s 14, last time she was here she was 5”2.

lol good thing she was remeasured by another MA who caught the error. 14 year olds don’t shrink. . The doctor was excellent but everything else was horrible. Definitely changing locations.

The workers are extremely immature and do not know how to conduct themselves on a professional level when it comes to the patients ( public service). I think the issue is hiring too many young people whom are not properly trained or they are just careless! The reason I say this, is because I have ran into Nurses and Secretaries whose behavior is disturbing and argumentative! This kind of service is unacceptable and needs to be fully looked into! I am in the process of switching my care and the children's care to another facility.

Worst practice ever. My gf has had a nagging cough for over four years. Every time she comes here her nurse practitioner Suzanne Rocklin downplays her symptoms. Saying oh it’s just a cough or it’s environmental. She can barely walk around without coughing non stop.

It has negatively affected her entire quality of life. She asked for various scans and checkups in which she was told she was fine. In Addition to this, it took a long time for her to even get appointments scheduled. She was checked for acid reflux by the practitioners in which they made her drink orange juice to see. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU CHECK FOR ACID REFLUX.

Went to another practice and she was immediately seen and had a chest x ray. TURNS OUT SHE HAS LUNG DISEASE! Had she stayed at this practice she would’ve never found out and who know what’s would’ve happened. I would give zero stars if I could with all the neglect she has endured here! They do not care about their patients health and would rather give them a quick diagnosis to get them out the office instead actually caring for their health which is the sole purpose of their career. A shame!
