    I went in feeling very nervous about surgery and Dr. David Spector is very confident in his skills for good reason. He's an excellent doctor, but also he put my fears at ease. Seeing how confident he was, I felt confident, you know, agreeing to the surgery. I feel that I'm in very good hands. So I'm really glad I have him. He was very honest about everything and actually I'm looking forward to the surgery, which will help me in the long run. So just an excellent doctor. I've already recommended him to family members. That's it.

    I have to say, every time I go to Brigham Women's in Boston, Francis Street, or Faulkner Hospital, or Foxboro, I have nothing but the best doctors and the best nurses. I can't say enough. So, I'm planning to have a surgery with Dr. Spector. I just met him that one time, but I felt like I know him for my whole life just because we spent a couple hours. So, nothing but praises for Brigham Women's, Faulkner, Francis Street, Foxboro, and thank you.

    Not really sure what the final say was. Not sure what he wants to do. Got a call from another doctor so don't know if he handed me off to them? Don't think there was a plan of action as far as I know.
