    Dr Fiarman is one of the best providers I've seen at MGH! She's very good at explaining what the possible diagnoses are, how we'll tell which it is, and how we'd treat each possibility. She also took a lot of care to listen to me and understand my concerns and past medical history.

    Dad was so impressed with Dr. Fiarman, that's all Dad kept talking about on the car ride home that she's a great doctor. Dr. Fiarman is very knowledgeable, thorough, and kind. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she is a great communicator. We've been so stressed over Dad's health issues, Dr. Fiarman saved the day for us and brought clarity about all options. We're so thankful and appreciative of the wonderful care that we received from her.

    Hi, I really love Gale Fiarman. I remember meeting her 15, 20 years ago, and she said way back then, I'm looking forward to a long and productive relationship with you.

    Dr. Fiarman has been a blessing in my life! I was so sick for two years before my 1st visit. Three other doctors in another hospital practice had repeatedly misdiagnosed and misled me. Dr. Fiarman listened with compassion, and ordered tests and specific medical procedures. Within 3 months, she found the medical evidence needed to make a definitive diagnoses. She immediately put me on a treatment regimen, gave me ample information about my, now, life-long condition, and communicated with my PCP & other medical providers, & coordinated treatment and medication. Over the last 3 years, with Dr. Fiarman's treatment and guidance, my health is considerably better and manageable. Dr. Fiarman's knowledge, expertise, compassion and effectiveness make her a rare gem in the medical community. I am abundantly grateful to be a patient in her practice!
