  • Dr. Mazina was splendid. She had investigated the reason for this referral prior to her coming into the office, and had sought out the relevant expert to come up with the answer to the referral question. She gave me the answer - which was very good news! - immediately, and provided me with a written copy of the report documenting the answer. That was "hello". Then she took the time to explain the issues with me, make some suggestions about changes in my medication regimen to discuss with the referring provider, and invited me to ask questions. She managed to do this in a friendly way - well-matched to what she assessed to be my level of understanding. She came across as warm and genuinely interested, all too rare in someone of her obvious experience and expertise. You should clone her.
