    I had never seen this doctor before. He was replacing my doctor of three years who has left. As a first meeting, I was really amazed and disappointed that he only took literally five minutes with me. We had no other type of conversation other than his telling me the results of my scan. He was certainly polite and professional, but I waited an hour and a half to get in. So an hour and a half to wait for five minutes was pretty appalling, I thought.

    The only issue I had with my visit was that the radiologist overrode the doctor's orders to do the CT scan with contrast after I had already taken the premeds and everything, and I was disappointed with that. Hopefully, I won't have to do another CT scan because they didn't do the contrast.

    Words can't express how happy and grateful I am seeing Dr. Wain. From the 1st moment we met to go over my lung tumor related issue, he made us feel very safe and answered all my questions before I can even ask him. From that moment I knew Dr. Wain is an exceptional doctor and you can tell he loves what he does and he is excellent at what he does. I can't thank him enough for taking care of my health and making the entire process very smooth and easygoing during this difficult period. His entire team did an exceptional job and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of while I was in the hospital from pre-surgery to recovery room and post hospital discharge. Thanks to the BWH Thoracic department!
