The doctor is extremely caring and followed up with an EKG question with the doctor that read it and also followed up with [...] when THEY wrote the incorrect information on one of my bone scans. She followed through to make sure they added an addendum to the report, listing the correction. She went above and beyond for me, I highly recommend her.
