- as always, doc was empathic and encouraging and explaining rather than critical and chastising about lifestyle changes. So much more productive than eg family member, where "doc yells at patient for high cholesterol diet lifestyle and patient ignores and delay appts and rinse repeat." - doc accommodates some medical dosage changes in way that make me take more notice if/when he does have stricter dosage instructions Eg way back, doctor used to say high dose of gaviscon no toxicity concern, though maybe you are treating symptoms. So now when doc says "if you are on the high dose nexium and introducing herbal things, try to use less gaviscon, so u aren't depending on too many meds" (paraphrasing) I was much more attuned to Dr gaviscon instructions because it changed and because he explained change (as opposed to a doc who is strict all the time, the kind of doc whose rules start becoming easier to "ignore" unfortunately ...) Same, when doc says, 2x 250mg anti gas max, or 2x coalesce enough no need the 3x coalesce the infusion center regimen, I follow his instructions much more than I maybe otherwise would have

Dr. Luther was excellent! He consulted with the referring Specialist prior to our visit and was familiar with my case. He was very informative with me and my wife and answered all my questions.

Unfortunately, there was a technical issue with our virtual visit. I called the office and they were able to schedule a phone call with Dr. Luther to rectify the situation. So other than the technical issue, which I don't think bears any weight on MGH or the staff, the appointment was perfect.

I understand you have rules about checking on my list of meds. However, asking me to fill out the form (a few times) answering calls and answering a call day of is too much. If I add to my list I will let the dr know. As to Dr. Luther he's great. Never an issue.
