My goal is to see every encounter from the patient's perspective. By imagining how others feel, I hope to treat the person, not just the patient.

    About our process

    Dr. Spent too much time reviewing my records. I wish Doctors would review my medical record before appointment so as not to use up the precious short appointment time reading.

    There was a great deal of data from the many test results on my file. Dr. Shah took her time to explain the possible causes for the presence of certain proteins found in my blood. The possibility of cancer was discussed and a bone marrow biopsy was to be scheduled to explore this possibility. Through this all doctor was reassuring and positive

    Felt a bit rushed. Didn't appear that my test results were reviewed prior to our appointment
