    The experience was wonderful, including playing music during the procedure, making me incredibly comfortable. I believe the care team was absolutely wonderful in making what could have been a very scary procedure, biopsy of the neck area, a procedure that absolutely was wonderful. And I would highly recommend Newton-Wellesley and my care team to anyone who has to have biopsies, especially of the neck. And I thank the doctor and the team for making this a procedure that went very well.

    Dr. Sahin-Efe was thoroughly informed about my condition before meeting me in person. She patiently explained what her recommendations were and why. My daughter (a tenured professor of math at MIT) was with me and Dr. Sahin-Efe included her in the discussion.
