Dr. Waxman was excellent. He listened to what I had to say. It was a joy to be at your institution and I just had a great experience and he was very thorough and that's about all I need to say, I guess.

This doctor really knows what he is doing, except how to get into Atrius' Health's website. Last year I signed a paper saying B and W had my permission to do so. At this visit, it would have helped in my treatment. My PCP belongs to Atrius Health and he goes onto MGB's site easily.

MGB is lucky to have Dr Waxman. He is a genius. I hope he gets paid boatloads of money because he deserves every penny. Administration probably doesn't even know what a jewel this physician is or how dedicated and committed he is to his patients. I schlep to MGB from [redacted] at significant expense but I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think someone should call after the dr visit notes are done to ok them with the patient. I've noticed in the last couple of visits there were mistakes in the notes, which are hard to fix! I see Dr Waxman as I consider him the Very Best in his field! I know my situation is a tough one to help. I am open to many things and would like to be considered in any ideas and treatments that may help me in the future. I look forward to hear what the surgeons opinions that Dr Waxman was going talk to about my case. Thank you
