This was a follow up visit after prostate cancer treatment. There were no new issues to discuss and everything seems under control. My wife and I had a pleasant talk with the doctor and we scheduled the next follow up visit in six months from this visit.

Dr. Michaelson was fantastic. He was very thorough. I also met with Dr. [redacted]. Very thorough, very professional, very well-versed in my situation. They gave me all the time they needed. They answered all my questions. It's a very difficult situation that I'm in for the first time. I've never been through anything like this. And they kind of allayed a lot of my fears. They were terrific providers and I can't say enough good things about them.

Hi, this is [redacted]. I had a very nice experience with Dr. Michaelson. He was very, very accommodating. He explained everything, answered any questions that I had, and it was just, you know, really good. [redacted] he listened to everything I had to say, responded appropriately, and it was an excellent meeting.

Hello, Dr. Michaelson's been great every since the beginning. He provided tremendous support for me through my cancer therapy and then the operation and then the follow-up. And, you know, he does the CT scan and blood work every six months and we discuss the results. And it's been a great comfort to me and my family really to be able to talk with him every six months and discuss the results and my recovery from the cancer. So everything's been great. No problems. Usually your Zoom technology works, but I had a tough time connecting this time, but Dr. Michaelson called me up when he realized I wasn't getting in properly and we had our discussion. So everything's gone fine. I'm very happy with Dr. Michaelson and the staff at Mass General Brigham. Everybody's been like super. Thanks.

I've been seeing Dror for several years now for my stage 4 prostate cancer. Throughout the entire time, he and the rest of the team have been wonderful - caring, patient, and kind.

Yes, the doctor that I visit, I've been seeing for almost two, three years. And I respect everything he has to say. He gets to all the details. He's very, very outspoken with me. He goes over the report that I got when I get scans. Any questions I have about any problem I've gone through in the three years that I've been working with him? He's been working with me. I look forward to our meetings. He is very good at getting to the point. He tells me everything that answers every question that I give him that I have a problem with. I bring the actual scan reports with me. And if I have a problem with anything, I show it to him or I tell him the report and he'll go over it and give me the answer and what I need to do and what he needs to do. And like I said, I look ?

Dr. Michaelson has always been a concerned and caring person, really wants to help and an excellent listener. And when he's together with the team that I had for trimodal therapy, they worked together as friends and I felt accepted among them. and very happy with the results.

The ultimate professional, who (a) cared, (b) dealt with my condition in a straight forward manner, (c) clearly explained that condition and its mitigation, and (d) was very encouraging, sympathetic and understanding - this has not been an easy journey for me, and he instinctively saw that - hence the "ultimate professional."

Dr. Michaelson was amazing at our visit. He explained everything in detail and then some. Never did we feel that we were being rushed, on the contrary he spent a lot of time with us. Spending time with him it was easy to know you were in the presence of a very intelligent doctor. However, it was more than that. You could actually feel his soul coming out in the conversations and you knew he had your best interest at heart. I told him that I have seen a lot of doctors in my long life, but never had been so enamored by his bed side manner. You just do not see that these days. Nass, General Hospital is very lucky to have him on their staff. What a great man!!!

2025-08-29
-
Dr Michelson was caring, empathetic, and listened to my questions, even though this was part of a consultation among different specialties and the conclusion was that his area of specialty was not likely to be part of my treatment plan. Even though that was discussed early in the visit, he still stayed the whole time and answered related questions. His bedside manner was reassuring given that I was there because of a recent cancer diagnosis.
