Emil Yagudin, MD – Middlesex Family Practice

Dr. Yagudin is a very experienced doctor. He knows what to do and gives you a quick diagnosis. At his office you don’t get the fancy 2 hours consultation, but you do get a very straight forward response when you don’t know what is going on. My wife had a very bad toe that was purple, she went to the ER hoping to get relief. They did NOTHING!!! No medication, just took an xray and dismissed her in PAIN! Dr. Yagudin is her PCP so she went to see him next day and he made small hole in the nail and she was pain free right away. Shouldn’t all doctors know this?! We always recommend him to family and friends.

Even though we have been Dr. Yagudin’s patients for 12 years now we just don’t get to see him. His front office schedules us with different people (paramedic staff who are Ok, no doubt). Although he conducts physical exams and granted he is good at his job, any follow up that may be required takes a lot of time. He needs to be more available to his patients. Just to discuss the routine blood work, the front office took a month and a half from the date the tests were done to schedule a face to face with him! For a regular patient or anyone for that matter this cannot be a reliable primary care physician set up.
On top of it the staff is rude. Although they speak different languages which gets them to reach out to diverse crowds, what they lack is basic communication. They need to be polite and treat everyone with respect.
They also mess up bills and accuse falsely of not paying and when you provide proof of payment, they shove you in the direction of someone called Carol who is some kind of collections agency! It is unfair and totally uncalled for putting us through such humiliation especially since one is careful about paying. There is no coordination between Carol and the doctor’s office either. And everyone is ostensibly «doing their jobs!» What a joke!
We expect some professionalism from the practice which seems to be more focused on beauty treatments and Botox and even INS exams which are sure shot money.

I am very picky and have been a patient of Dr Yagudin for 7 years. I find him professional, thorough and very personable. I really do not understand the negative reviews I noticed here. I don’t think he deserves them at all.
