“Excellent experience”
Outstanding customer experience. I found the reservation process to be intuitive, clear, and simple. The visit preparation was as expected, attentive but not much of a burden. The appointment was on-time, the doctor was patient with listening to me speak without interrupting or anything surprising. I got clear and directly helpful feedback, I was able to pay easily on the phone, and I got a paper card that I can use while we were still on the phone call - all exactly how I would hope a modern medical visit would be. A joyful experience, and I look forward to coming back and will recommend others to come too.

“Awesome!”
I am glad that I came to CED. Wish I had before. I have been in the Mass Medical Program for a few years, and I bounced between whatever "doc" was cheapest. I fumbled my way through whatever seemed to work for me, with next to no guidance. After a 10-minute phone call at CED (COVID-friendly certifications), I had more direction than I experienced in 4 years. I spoke with Dr Caplan. He explained the process, most of which I knew, and then made some suggestions for ways that I could better control my own success with products. Although I knew some of what we were talking about, he was clearly listening and adapted his suggestions to my level of experience. I was surprised to learn that CED has tons of info online to read more, and the whole process is zero pressure. I'll be back!

“Whew! COVID cool, socially-distanced office!”
Awesome experience. Huge parking lot was a pleasant surprise. Nearby my regular doctor at the Brigham & Women's Building, and the CED office is huge. Lots of space was so reassuring. There was nobody else in the waiting room when I came in (smelled like it had just been cleaned with bleach), and I was seen right away. I sat in a comfortable blue seat with 10 feet between me and the doctor's chair, with 10 feet of space on either side of me too.. Both the doctor and I still wore masks, and the entire process was easy, felt safe, and totally reassuring. The doctor sent all the information I needed over email, so I didn't have to touch anything. The visit itself was very educational. The doctor clearly knows a ton and was happy to explain and answer all my questions. I also love that I feel like the process is intended to help me feel in control over my own care, and I never felt like I was being told what to do. Refreshing change of pace! I will be bringing my elderly parents too!

“Excellent clinic, clear explanations, heartwarming”
I am new to the medical marijuana scene, but not new to cannabis. I've been using weed for years, from friends to dealers to the recreational market. I use it for pain, stress, lousy sleep, and just for fun. Given the recent changes in the Massachusetts market, it just made sense for me to get a card, in terms of cost savings, access, and delivery, which totally favor the medical market. I wish I had come years ago.

“Great Experience, Learned a TON”
I am totally impressed with my experience. CED Clinic is the first medical clinic I've been to where I felt like everyone I spoke with was kind, considerate, listened to my questions and concerned, and was genuinely interested in helping. First I spoke with Kim, who was polite and kind and a great listener. She helped me schedule and answered some of my initial questions. Next, I spoke with the doctor, who was surprisingly open to learning about me, interested in my well-being (not merely about cannabis- we talked about COVID and my overall happiness and work life too!) I left with a clear plan of what to do next, a few handouts to guide me with my specific ailments, and a plan to have a virtual follow up soon! I'm thrilled. Full 5 stars experience!
