A Top Hospital in America
Mass General is recognized as a top hospital on the U.S. News Best Hospitals Honor Roll for 2024-2025.
He's always pleasant and takes his time w/me.
I was very pleasantly surprised. I was very standoffish at first, and the fact that he called me back, and expressed how important it was that I take care of myself was really, it was endearing, and satisfying to know that I had someone who's willing to go beyond for my care.
I prefer to meet a Dr in-person especially when I'm meeting him for the first time. When I answered the question about seeing him, I didn't see him in person. That's why I answered the way I did. I think virtual appointments are good but not for the first appt. I like to see if I feel comfortable with the new Dr.
