He was upbeat. Thoroughly searched my records, as I was a new pt , referred from Springfield MA. Made good decisions regarding treatment; number of appointments I would probably require were considered; my referring source did not send my pathology reports, which I had requested 3 weeks prior!!; he was efficient with his time and mine.

I have a very complicated medical situation with a lot of, I guess you'd call them comorbidities and particularly blood centers. And I appreciate how concerned and careful in his approach the doctor was for my situation, even though I would prefer the best possible outcome and the most aggressive approach. But he reined me back in.

Dr. Orgil did not listen to me or the nurses about the fact that I have MS and cannot walk. And he said what I should be doing is walking. It's kind of hard to do something you can't. And I was very upset about that. [redacted]

Well, I'm doing a procedure that I've never ever done and that can be scary. Sometimes I have three children. The fact that your facility can make me feel comfortable is in itself a compliment. The doctor is doing the procedure when you look him up being one of the best Also gives everybody peace of mind.

This doctor lacks the patient -centered skills [redacted]. Poor communicator. Did not shake hands or call me by name. He ignored my daughter who was present. [redacted] He did not make eye contact but spoke to the opposite wall. He outlined 2 options, neither of which he recommended. I felt dismissed.
