FROM POINTS SOUTH VIA I-93
Stay on I-93 North all the way into Boston, where you will take the exit for Storrow Drive West. Follow Storrow Drive West until you reach the Newton/Watertown exit (this looks like a fork in the road, and you will take the right fork). This exit curves around to the right, and then splits again; take a left, following the signs for Rte 2 West (Fresh Pond Parkway). Stay on Route 2 West until you reach the second traffic circle; instead of exiting the circle to continue on the parkway, take the next exit (Concord Avenue). Continue up Concord Avenue a few blocks; you'll pass a Burger King on your right hand side. Our building is clearly labeled "725 Concord Avenue," and is a few buildings past the Burger King. Free parking is in the rear. Park in patient designated spots. We're now on the sixth floor.
FROM POINTS NORTH VIA I-93
Take I-93 South to exit 32 (the exit for Route 60) and follow the signs to Route 60 West. Once you're heading West on 60, follow signs leading to Route 16 West. This route eventually becomes the Alewife Brook Parkway. You will proceed through a jumbled intersection for Routes 2 and 3; stay on 16 West (which joins 2 East). You will pass the Alewife T station on your right and the Fresh Pond Plaza on your left. At the first traffic circle you encounter, take the first right off of the circle onto Concord Avenue. Continue up Concord Avenue a few blocks; you'll pass a Burger King on your right hand side. Our building is clearly labeled "725 Concord Avenue," and is a few buildings past the Burger King. Free parking is in the rear. Park in patient designated spots. We're now on the sixth floor.
FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE
Follow the Turnpike (I-90) to exit 14, and take I-95 (also Route 128) North. Take exit 29 onto Route 2 East. Route 2 eventually becomes a city road; follow the signs to stay on 2 East (this will require you to stay to the right at a major fork in the road). As you continue down Route 2, you will pass the Alewife T station on your right and the Fresh Pond Plaza on your left. At the first traffic circle you encounter, take the first right off of the circle onto Concord Avenue. Continue up Concord Avenue a few blocks; you'll pass a Burger King on your right hand side. Our building is clearly labeled "725 Concord Avenue," and is a few buildings past the Burger King. Free parking is in the rear. Park in patient designated spots. We're now on the sixth floor.

At end of bridge, there's a set of lights (Memorial Drive). Go left onto Memorial Drive. Follow to end, which is Fresh Pond Parkway. Follow signs for Rt. 2 West.
ON THE "T"
The "T" is Boston's public transportation system. T Stations are signified above ground by a big "T" in a circle. Each T station features a large map of the T system. Use the maps to guide your way to the Red Line. Take the Red Line North (or, Outbound) to the Alewife station. Walk toward the Alewife Brook Parkway and cross over to the other side (there is no pedestrian walkway on the near side of the Parkway). Cross the bridge, and the cross back to the other side of the parkway as soon as you can. Walk down to the traffic circle, and head for the first street to your right that heads away from the cirle. This is Concord Avenue. Continue up Concord Avenue a few blocks; you'll pass a Burger King on your right hand side. Our building is clearly labeled "725 Concord Avenue," and is a few buildings past the Burger King. We're now on the sixth floor.

Our Goals:
- To provide you with key, ongoing preventive medicine services as well as with treatment when you do get sick. As internists, we're the first line of care, assessing overall health, providing initial treatment and working with specialists to diagnose and treat complex problems. If you do need to consult with us for a "sick" visit, appointments are typically available on a same-day basis. "Non-emergency sick visits" can be made within 48 hours. "Well-care" visits can be scheduled within several weeks. We emphasize routine visits to monitor your medical concerns, whether through regular physical examinations or scheduled follow-up visits for issues such as hypertension and diabetes.
- On January 6, 2020 we moved up to the 6th floor to a newly constructed office. To avoid any miscommunication, when leaving a message for either my secretary or my medical assistant, always clearly state your full name (spell last name), your date of birth and your telephone number. My medical scribe is Sam, who is enrolled in the Harvard Extension School Post Bac program. He hopes to enter medical school. My five previous scribes: Laura and Leah are both now medical residents: Kellen and Dylan are both currently at medical school. Sophie is at Tufts PA school.
- BMA uses the Epic electronic medical record and has an electronic health portal "MyChart" which allows patients to view their lab, radiology results and most of their medical record.
- We're affiliated with Mount Auburn Hospital, a Harvard Medical teaching hospital, for inpatient admissions and other hospital-based services, and with the Mount Auburn network of physicians - MACIPA - for specialty consultations and referrals. Mount Auburn Hospital is now part of the Beth Israel Lahey Health system.
- A physician is on-call for emergency advice 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Please don't expect the on call physician to fill routine prescriptions or to obtain lab results.
The Office:
- Our telephone number is 617- 864 - 8822
- Our fax number is 617-547-5367
- Parking in the rear of the building is free, but please park ONLY in the spots designated for patients
