  • Yes, Dr. Thein and I have a good relationship. Unfortunately, this time, at the end of all my tests, which was very, very proficient, I had to wait an hour to see Dr. Thein . I realize all the doctors there are very, very busy, but I just thought it may be a fluke, but to wait an hour after all the tests are done to see Dr. Thein , it wasn't her fault, but I just want to make Mass Eye and Ear aware of when the test ends, someone probably shouldn't sit there for a whole hour. Otherwise, I appreciate everyone that does everything there.
