Martha Mejia, MD

For starters I’ve had several billing issues between me and my boyfriend. The women at the front desk repeatedly over charged for our co-​pays instead of actually checking with the insurance company for the correct amount. Its happened every time we’ve gone to this office. And if you forget to pay the co-​pay you will automatically be charged $ 15 on top of your co-​pay! As for Dr. Mejia, I appreciate her holistic approach but my illness went un-​diagnosed and improperly treated in her care.

I’ve been trying to schedule an appointment for my dad to see Dr. Mejia, since she is his PCP but after leaving several messages and them completely disregarding them I am now looking for a new physician. I stated on the messages that he’s having some issues and still no return phone call. Its a shame because she is Spanish speaking and my dad really liked her but I can’t force her to care for my father.

I asked the receptionist to help me verify whether they take my insurance or not and my copays, but she refused. she asked me to call my insurance company and verify it myself or call her billing office. NOT client friendly. i’ve never been in a doctors office that does that.

I have gone to Dr. Mejia since 2001. She is a very holistic doctor. She sees the big picture, and is aware of new relevant issues with treatments and medications. I work in the pharmaceutical industry and have my finger on the pulse of studies for different medications and their efficacy. She and I have meaningful discussions about the implications of these studies to my treatment. I think what impressed me most was when my husband went in to see her for the first time. Based on his history and her preliminary examination she asked him to have two simple tests performed and one came back as an issue. There were no apparent signs that any other doctor could detect. These were not the broad spectrum blood panels, but very specific tests. I was impressed that she was able to diagnosis my husband based on the tight lipped information he provided her. She also REALLY talks to you. I think that is what impresses me most about her. My husband and I have seen a number of specialists over the years, but generally you feel like you are on a conveyor belt and they just want to get you out of there as quickly as possible. Dr. Mejia actually goes through the lab results with us and talks us through what they mean for every test. When I describe my experiences with her to my friends, they are envious that I have such a collaborative relationship with a primary care physician. Alas, they do not want to travel to a different neighborhood to start seeing her. I moved and travel 45 minutes for my appointments with her.

only was there twice and i got my results. they are fast, reliable, very friendly and helpful workers as well, always willing to help and to answer your questions. i would recommend her to just about anyone who’s looking for a certified civil surgeon

She is extremely attentive and knowledgeable. She is also compassionate and truly cares about her patients. Her staff is beyond compare! It is true you may have to wait a while when you have an appointment but she is worth the wait. I have been a patient of hers for over 10 years and would not consider going to anyone else. She is exceptional.

Martha has been my primary care physician for several years. She is quite thorough. As an example, during a preop physical in 2008 she heard something a little off and sent me to a cardiologist. Turns out I had a congenital problem (leaky valve) that had been there all my life but went undetected until Martha caught it. (And yes, I get yearly physicals and have for the past 30 years.) Her sisters who run the front office are very friendly. My health plan has changed and Martha is no longer in the group so I have to find a new PCP which makes me sad. I think you’d be well served by choosing her as your doctor.
While her professionalism and experience are 5-​star, she does get VERY busy and there are often urgent cases they squeeze in so you will often end up waiting quite a bit for your appointment so I took off one star.

Dr. Meja has been my primary doctor for over 10 years and has been there for me during many physical challenges. Her attention and focus on you as the patient is amazing, she listens and gets it. There is skill and art in her questions to learn what is needed to make recommendations.
After seeing a RA specialist for 2 years who basically wrote me off as just ‘getting old’, Dr. Mejia immediately ordered appropriate tests and got me the proper dx. and helped me through treatment.
Her staff is friendly, and warm. Highly recommend.

I saw her for several years as my family doctor but gave up after I kept getting the same advice. I was told I had slightly elevated cloistral levels and that I need to take some fish oil and B vitamins, exercise more and eat better. I started doing all those things religiously and even went to Community Boot camp every weekday at 6am, but she just kept repeating the same advice. I couldn’t pin her down as to whether I was improving at all or if I needed to do things differently. To top it off, I had a strange reaction to a particular medication. Her response was «no, that can’t be.» She might as well have called me a bold faced liar.

I see Dr. Mejia for business reasons but I think she’s a great doctor and very convenient for those who need a physician who speaks Spanish!
