A Top Hospital in America

I wish I could do both my field eye and eye pressure test and then see the provider. Instead of having my field eye test, seeing the doctor, having my eye pressure test, and finally going back to the doctor again.
Dr.Mallery is the best! I don't remember the young woman name that performed the eye exam but she's awesome too. I've never had a bad experience.
Dr. Mallery is extremely patient and extremely informative. He has been an excellent neurologist for me and he helped treat me in a respectful way.
I like him a lot. He always remembers me even though I see him only once a year. He's funny and kind, and definitely knows what he's doing and what I need.
My doctor was very helpful with coordinating appointments with my other doctors.
I really appreciate Brigham & Womens , great care
He was knowledgeable and helpful.
Doctor gave me clear explanation of the images from the MRI. He reached out to another department to try to get me an appointment with another specialist.
The nurse & Dr. Mallery are excellent. [redacted]
Dr Mallery and his assisting colleague were thorough and meticulous. They both explained their findings and what are these findings indicative of. I'm grateful. I just hope that the surgeon Dr Mallery referred me to is as good as he is.
