I thought that the doctor was very good. I thought that the other people in the office were very good. Everybody was very helpful, including the nurse. I made a mistake when I put in a wrong number for the nurse because the nurse was very good, too. And the residents were quite good and very knowledgeable and very helpful. That's about it. Everything was great. Thanks. Bye.

Doing the Ultrasound is an easy process to follow. The pre-day of US call to confirm "No food or beverages for six hours before" is good as it helps make sure the US is void of erroneous readings.

I am on some of the forums where people talk of their diseases and mostly leukemia from what I've been experiencing and reading most of these patients are not taken care of properly. Most of these patients have passed. I am very fortunate to have the doctor that I am so lucky to see thank you to Mass General. Thank you to Dr. Hobbs, and thank you to the staff ???

Dr. Hobbs is an excellent provider. She gives me all the information I need. And I think she also thinks outside the box to try to give me the best possible care. And in my last visit, after analyzing my health trend for the past year, she recommended another test to try to understand better why my body is reacting in the positive way that it has been. So I appreciate the opportunity to take that test. She understands this, uses fairly new technology. So I'm glad that she was aware of it and prescribes it for me. So she's a great provider. I'm glad that she's my doctor.
