    Maybe brief 5 minutes with doctor

    He explained things very well to me, and even though he couldn't do a specific procedure... He is taking care of me. I needed to feel like I mattered. They are waiting till after a PET scan to move forward and he even has me already set up three days after the PET scan to go over the results with me. I feel like he really cared.

    I would also like to add that the doctor's physician assistant, a young lady, and I cannot recall her name, was very good and thorough and did a lot of reading up on my history, etc. She was great. And I just wanted to add that so that she gets some credit. She wasn't a nurse, she was a physician's assistant, I believe. Thank you.

    Dr. Tsukada is a very good doctor and was able to drain quite a bit of fluid. The only thing is after the procedure, I was sore and I didn't feel the relief of a lot of fluid coming out.

    Dr. Tsukada was a pleasure to meet, and clearly very experienced in thoracantesis. He was thorough in his explanations, everything was painless and quick, and he collected a combined 1250 ml of fluid, making my breathing and life much better. I hope I don't need thoracantesis again, but if I do I know he's doing it.

    The doctor worked in conjunction with a physicians assistant. In fact, the physicians assistant explained the procedure fully and answered all of our questions ahead of time which allowed the doctor to focus on the procedure itself.
