Rachel's outstanding, but you already know that. Bye for now.
Dr. Rosovsky unfortunately didn't have any of my medical records for my appointment but listened very carefully to my story, asked questions and clarified as I spoke. I have a very complex and very sudden illness with many different care providers. She spent a lot of time answering my questions and genuinely seems to want to help. We were the last ... Read More
Hi. Dr. Rosovsky spent two hours with me discussing my blood condition, and she provided me with so much information that was so helpful to me, and I just can't laud her enough. I came all the way from Wyoming to see her and other physicians at MGH, and they were all wonderful, but she was exceptional. And I can't think what else to say, but thank ... Read More
She has always been thorough, informative and pleasant
Dr Rosovsky is always attentive, clear, and gracious.
Always happy to see her
She is a terrific Doctor
Rachel was quick to listen and easy to understand. She was very thorough, and I was left with no unanswered questions. Our conversations were very comfortable.
We drive down from Maine because my wife [redacted] and I both think Dr Rosovsky is one of the best and brightest doctors either one of us has ever met. She keeps meticulous notes, and listens to everything either one of us says.
I have been seeing Dr Rosovsky on an annual basis for the last 15 years. While I see her because I was diagnosed with a DVT with an undetermined cause, she goes above and beyond advising on my blood tests and care plan. Dr Rosovsky does a complete evaluation of my current health and family history beyond what I would expect from a hematologist ... Read More
