So this is one of your best physicians in the system for MGB. She's extraordinary and I would recommend that MGB do everything possible to keep her because she is clearly an extraordinary physician. Having said that, I realize from my experience with MGB that primary care in general does not receive, in my opinion, the respect from the organization that specialty departments do and that's unfortunate because this individual is truly outstanding.
