January 2025

This was my first visit to talk about the procedure that appears to be necessary for my treatment. Everything was explained in a very simple way that I understood. The doctor even drew some pictures that helped even more. I left there feeling like I knew what to expect if we did do this procedure

Dr. Auchincloss is very easy to talk to. He's very down to earth. He explains everything in a way to easily understand the procedure that he's going to embark upon when you're in the OR. Definite asset to MGH.

I feel that he is a very gentle person, experienced, and confident in his diagnosis. Let me trust him.
