As always, my experience with my care provider and the staff at MGHB was excellent.
I feel confident that Dr. Hobbs is an expert on this disease. I am grateful for the way she and her team have been able to provide a state-of-the-art medication for me at little expense.
I love Dr Hobbs. She's brilliant, compassionate, and knows exactly how to speak to patients in a way that calmed me and help me further. Understand my disease process. We talked about all aspects of medications and what to look for in the future and how to interpret my labs, etc..
It is clear the level of knowledge of the members and the infrastructure/communication systems are superior
Dr. Hobbs is always nice, listening to anything you would say, and the best doctor I have.
Dr. Hobbs has been my hematologist for many years and she is very, very helpful and I understand what she wants me to do and I just think she is a fabulous, fabulous doctor.
She's great! I enjoy her interviews on Patient Power
Gabriela Hobbs is an excellent physician. I have complete trust in her. She's intelligent, she's congenial, she relates beautifully, and I'm very glad that that's the person I was assigned to.
I am very grateful for the genuine concern and highly professional communications from this provider. Thank you.
As busy as she is seeing patients she always enters the room with a smile. She listens carefully to me and I never feel like I am being rushed to conclude my visit.
