I was absolutely beyond impressed with every aspect of my visit. From my initial contact with the administrative assistant, [redacted], to Dr. [redacted], and ultimately Dr. Bi, the entire experience was exceptional. [redacted] Dr. Bi exceeded my expectations in every way - her professionalism, knowledge, interpersonal skills, compassion, and overall demeanor were remarkable. Given the anxiety I had surrounding my diagnosis, she answered my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly, and was more than willing to repeat or clarify things when I didn't understand them the first time. She never showed frustration or made me feel rushed. I truly feel fortunate to have been referred to her and to have had her overseeing my care. The entire team was top notch, and I feel extremely confident having them in charge of my case. It's hard to put into words how much their empathy, knowledge, professionalism, and overall approach matter when you're in crisis. They made an awful situation not only tolerable, but also gave me a realistic understanding of my options, timeline, potential risks, and expected outcomes.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Bi for welcoming me as a new patient after my longtime neurologist in Maine retired. I feel truly fortunate to be under her care, along with her outstanding staff. In addition to managing my MS, Dr. Bi is actively monitoring my colloid cyst and will provide any necessary treatment or intervention as needed. I am especially thankful that she is located in the same building as my new neurologist, Dr. [redacted]. I am incredibly fortunate to have both physicians and their excellent teams caring for me.
