I am so grateful for the care I received at this visit-Dr.Parikh spent as much time as I needed, was clear and listened carefully to what I was asking and my concerns, had a superb knowledge of the latest technology and research and explained that in a way I could grasp and could help inform my choices. This appointment was at a critical juncture for me in terms of thinking about my surveillance post chemo, and I left so moved and grateful for how fortunate I was to have this appointment and for the care I received.
