There was some difficulty the provider had ordering an MRI and EEG to an external local that was not Brigham/MGH. I had to call the office and have them fax to the external location.

I had a fantastic experience. I'm an anxious person and a 1 point started to cry she was very patient and understanding. She asked more questions than I can count about so much trying to truly understand what was potentially going on. She seemed very knowledgeable and kind.

Dr Dworetzky is an excellent doctor. I wish she could spend more time with each patient, but her time is limited as she has so many patients to see.

Dr. Dworetzky is one of the best physicians I have ever had. She has extensive knowledge about my history regarding meningioma surgery, and is sensitive and knowledgable about my age regarding medication dosage. She is caring, always listens to what I have to say and I cannot recommend her more highly.

Yes, so my meeting with the doctor was well-timed. We really didn't have, you know, in an hour, it was difficult to sort of go over an entire person's medical history, but I think we covered all the major points. I'm looking forward to meeting with her again to maybe go in depth or take a little bit of a deeper dive into that history and into a possible future action plan. So I'm looking forward to that. Thank you.

We have some differences of opinions in some areas. We don't ever seem to have enough time in our appointments for us to really talk through these subjects. This last appointment, however, Dr. Dworetzky gave me as much time as she could and that felt wonderful. Hopefully we will be able to have appointments closer together so we'll get better at understanding each other.

The first person, a nurse I think (BP, Oxygen, weight), was exceptionally kind and welcoming. Dr. DWORETZKY's expertise and thoroughness was greatly appreciated. I understand that she is extremely busy yet she still took the time needed to diagnose and advise me on a future course of care. She demonstrated professionalism and concern for myself and my husband.
