Dr. Laila Attar, MD - Pepperell, Massachusetts

She was my Brother's Primary Doctor for twenty years and never knew he had Stage 4 Cancer until approximately three weeks before he died. All his regular visits consisted of only weight weighing and blood test. He had all the signs of cancer but she never checked him for it until he found out from another Cancer doctor but it was to late by then. She is very incompetent and has caused my family extreme pain of losing the kindest most loving important family member in our life's. He was a Brother and Father, Grandfather and we still needed him. Sad when a Mother loses her only son. He was the biggest part of our Life's. R.I.P. Vincent J. Ciampa 2/10/23 💔 😢

She never had time to see me. I don't think she has slots for same day visits. However she is still accepting new patients even though she doesn't have time for the ones she has.

I had been bringing my kid for little over 3 years. Everything was great in the beginning, but last year things “changed”, and stopped looking forward to going there. My 5 yo was given two shots she didn’t “need” and wasn’t given the MMR & Chickenpox which I specifically asked for, since school had sent me a note.

We love the doctor, she is approachable, nice to talk to, and her advices are always on point, but that lady in front desk (Deb I think) is not someone pleasant to talk to.
A lot of my phone calls were never returned, even when I left voice mails, or at least mine they didn’t care about. They’re not “open” when you need them, and I am talking about during regular business hours.

I spent a couple of months begging for a copy of my daughter’s last physical and vaccination records to be faxed over to the school, so she could continue going, and no, they don’t offer you copies after the visit, nor they have a portal where you can access to them.
Seeing this careless attitude, I sent over a record release form, because I was done after that. They received it. And I called again, about two days after they got that record release form, hoping they would finally fax over the copy of her last physical to the school, because they had contacted me again, and you know what lady in the front said to me? “She’s not our patient anymore”, “can’t do anything because you are leaving us”. I almost CRIED. She finally agreed to having a copy ready for me to pick up. How nice of her.

I am also getting bills I already paid, even though I was told that it was going to be taken care of months ago (brought my receipt with me), but I just received another bill yesterday, which encouraged me to write this review.

It's a tough time of year for a lot of people. We all have loved ones we miss. Appreciate the people still with us and remember the ones we lost. As hard as it is they would want us to be happy. Also choose your " Doctor" wisely, it could mean the difference between life and death.
I miss you everyday Dad and i wish we had a chance to fight but that was taken from us by this "doctor" that has zero compassion. She did the absolute minimum and just kept saying to "lose weight". Never checking the pain in your legs was from severe clotts. Never checking for cancer even after receiving a recall letter form the CPAP machine company saying they cause cancer. Only to find out you had Stage 4 liver cancer. Maybe if the doctor cared just a little bit more we could've found this sooner and had a chance to fight. But no, we went from being told to just lose weight , to stage 4 cancer and passing away a few weeks after. He trusted this local doctor for almost 20 years and i think people should be aware. Then to actually call the police on me when i was there to pick up his medical records that i had already paid your $75 fee the week befor. Glad i recorded everything. After speaking to several people that know this doctor i am finding out that i am not alone. Maybe the medical board needs to review her records.

1st - Deb at front desk is wonderful! My entire family used to see Dr. Attar, we finally moved to another larger practice in the area. Information that she gave us on blood work was based on OLD OUTDATED medical practices...new Dr.'s debunked everything she said and put our minds at ease. She does not give copies or have a site for viewing medical records online. She lost a required medical form for my husband and then told him he had to have a physical first before it could be completed...after SHE cancelled his original physical which would have been within the correct time frame. On my daughters 1st physical she left in tears! This was just the tip of the iceberg! I gave her 3 years and finally had enough . . . 2 stars is being generous and only because Deb is great!

One positive is she is local. Negatives: When I was sick or injured every time she sent me to Urgent Care, It takes days to fill a script if your lucky enough not to need it when she is on vacation again. Receptionist is rude with a smile.

DO NOT GO HERE! I've been seeing her since I was younger and have had numerous problems . The receptionist is rude as a hell and if she doesn't like you , good luck getting an appointment. She is also great for leaving detailed , personal messages on your answering machine for anyone in your family to hear. They tell you personal information about any family that is seen there. I'm over 18 and so is my sister , yet the nurse made it a habit of every time I go in talking about my sister's recent visit and what for. I recently had a baby and in a rush decided to register her here too. 1. They would not let me register her without insurance. Like she is a baby she didn't have it yet at 3 days old. 2.They have called asking to speak with my daughter about her upcoming appointments, again she is a baby. And they cherry on top of it all . 3.Today A bill comes in the mail from her Dr. Is it addressed to me or her father? NOPE it's illegal addressed to her. So now I have to call the collection agency, because instead of sending a bill they sent it straight to a debt collector, and now I get the joy of fighting with them that the bill is under the wrong name and social. So do yourself a favor and go to anyone but her. Hell I'd trust a vet as a primary over her.

Dr. Attar is a great doctor! She is responsive to my concerns and doesn't downplay them as something else. She actually listens. You can also be rest assured that she recognizes that health is holistic – which is something that not all doctors get! I am so happy that I have started going to Dr. Attar…
