August 29, 2025
The staff fit me in so that I could be seen for a heart issue, instead of having me go to a different, urgent care facility.
August 27, 2025
Dr ILYAS is so thorough and knowledgeable. We are very lucky to have her in Winthrop.

I thought it was a 40 min new patient app't. We got a late start but was satisfied with Dr. Ilyas. Easy to talk with and I felt comfortable. Returning 9/12 to finish up diabetes discussion/meds.
July 29, 2025
I was very pleased at my appointment with Dr. Ilyas. She's been right on target for me with all of my meds and my ailments, and I would highly recommend her to anybody. She's open to talking and explaining things and isn't afraid of spending the time with you, so I really appreciate that.
July 21, 2025
I find the staff and medical personnel very kind and helpful!
July 21, 2025
The girl checking me in was not polite at all which was so unlike the people there.
July 14, 2025
I really liked the doctor that I saw. She was great. However, I went to try to get blood thinners as a preventive, knowing that my body is probably going to develop blood clots again, and I didn't get it yet. So I didn't take the test at the hospital because I don't have blood clots. It's going to show that I don't. I just want to go on blood thinners again as a preventive. Thank you.
July 14, 2025
Excellent care is provided.
July 11, 2025
I sat in the exam room for almost an hour waiting for the doctor. It was my yearly exam and after being held up with another patient I was seen for maybe 15 minutes and rushed out. I said several times j had a problem with my ear and couldn't hear well so when the doctor looked she said it was full occluded I expected her to help flush it. Another staff came in and told her her other annual was there so she quickly told me some over the counter remedies. She said she'd write everything down which she did not. I waited weeks for my annual so I could address a bunch of things. I felt like just another insurance payment and this was honestly a waste of my day off. Nothing was done at all that Google couldn't have done for me. Really disappointed to be treated like this after waiting my turn patiently. It was just strange to practically skip right over me just to keep everyone else on schedule for the other patients.

I have always been well taken of at this clinic since the Dartmouth Clinic changed its focus. When the Winthrop Clinic was whole with imaging + radiology, orthopedic, blood work, a cafe, PT it ran like a top. It was so sad it had to be disassembled for lack of money. I am thankful that I can have my Primary doctor there.
July 01, 2025

July 01, 2025

June 30, 2025
I waited a year to get this new patient appointment. It was worth the wait. Everyone was professional and showed interest in getting to know me. Hard to do in the initial consultation but looking forward to developing my health care plan.

June 04, 2025
I was late to my appointment for 10 minutes and had to reschedule. I rescheduled, but the provider was late for 20 minutes. That was something that I thought wasn't quite, it could have been handled differently. Thank you.

Very professional medical establishment from front desk to Dr Ilyas. Dr Ilyas answered all my questions so I could understand and evaluate my medical history and treatment plan. For the first time, as I have medical anxiety, I felt completely at ease. Thank you.
April 22, 2025
I would like an MD or DO for my primary care person.
April 11, 2025
I have always had good experiences at Winthrop Health. The physicians or PA may change, I feel comfortable with all who I have been seen by. Never feel rushed. Always listen to concerns.
April 04, 2025
The practice is searching for a retiring practitioner so I was introduced to a new doctor for this appointment. I appreciated her thoroughness in addressing my prescription needs and suggesting alternative drugs that produce less side effects.
April 01, 2025
Glad that Doc is recording visit for transcription. This allows for better interaction. Before this always felt the provider had to spend too much time typing and looking at screen then me.

March 11, 2025
Really appreciated my visit with Dr. Lara the other day. One thing that I appreciated most is that she and her nurse did a really good job of listening. They weren't bogged down by paperwork or a to-do list or a checklist. They just did a really good job of listening and hearing and having a genuine conversation about health care, which was what I was looking for and what I appreciated. I'm really glad that I ended up choosing this practice for my health care. Thank you so much.

February 26, 2025
Yes, it was a great experience. She was very kind, very helpful, concerned about my well-being, took the time that was necessary to treat me. And I think that she's a wonderful doctor, and I would certainly recommend her and would want to come back and see her again. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much Dr Ilyas.
December 31, 2024
We appreciated the quick appointment time. We were prompt about that. However, the follow-up was the worst I've ever received. They did not provide any information when we contacted the facility about further instruction the following day. Absolute worst performance as far as patient care that I've ever received as far as follow-up. I would not recommend.
December 30, 2024
I absolutely love Dr. Ilyas, she is amazing and kind and was very helpful.
December 18, 2024
Dr Ilyas listens carefully and helps to solve any issues I have. I feel confident that she is on top of my medical concerns.
December 06, 2024
I arrived 5min early for my apt. At registration I asked if Dr on time, late, how late were running and how long I should be expected to wait. Was told Dr on time and shouldn't have to wait more than 10min. I waited 25min. When the person came to get me repeatedly called me Wrong name. For apt Dr seemed rushed. O was in and out within an hour. I had maybe 10min of that time with the Dr. Most of it was waiting.
December 03, 2024
I was very pleased to meet Dr. Ilyas and she asked the questions and she knew the answers, a lot of my history and was so very helpful. I'm very, very pleased to be able to go back and I have to schedule my mammogram and lab work, I guess, and call in for that. I was very, very pleased. Thank you.
December 02, 2024
