    Always good support and information despite solutions not being available. I was in a rough mood the entire day for a variety of reasons and Dr. Comander picked up on it. He told me about therapy services related to our issues being available. While having my eyes dilated and examined for 3+ hours is annoying, it wasn't the main cause of my distress. I very much appreciate Dr. Comander for recognizing my emotional state and offering assistance. Very evident that he cares about his work and his patients and i appreciate that a lot. And i apologize for my crabby behavior, for those who were witness to it.

    Dr. Commander is kind and humble in his approach to talking with patients. The pace, however, is somewhat quick and by its nature one feels a little bit disempowered in terms of having enough time to ask about the results of the tests one completes. He makes up for this by his attitude and kindness.

    Yes, I've been going to the doctor. This is one of the best experiences I ever had. The doctor took time out of his busy schedule because I'm visually impaired, to walk me to the elevator, went down to the lobby, and walked me to the exit door. I was overwhelmed. I've never had such experience in all my life. I just want to say God bless that doctor. And, um, Mass General, Mass Ironer, keep it up. You're doing a very good job. Thank you.
