Dr. Dietrich is the kindest, most patient, and most thorough physician I have ever had. He treats me as a whole person, not just a diagnosis, and it's clear that he genuinely cares. He listens carefully to my questions, answers them clearly and thoughtfully, and never makes me feel rushed. During our appointments, he has an extraordinary ability to make me feel as though I am his most important patient. His combination of clinical excellence and humanity inspires deep trust and gratitude.

Dr. Dietrich is just wonderful. He's a great listener. He's very thoughtful. This time he brought in a neuro oncology fellow to talk with me and get my perspective as a long-term cleoblastoma survivor on her development as a physician. He's just the best. I've recommended him to somebody I know and will continue to do that. Thank you, Dr. Dietrich.

Hi, I'm very pleased with the doctor. The only thing was the technology. I wasn't able to get on the site because I guess they thought there was a miscommunication. They had it down as me doing an in-person interview, but it was supposed to be online. And other than that, it's a great practice.

Dr Dietrich is the kindest most incredible doctor I have ever dealt with. He always treated us with kindness and respect and never "sugar coated" the test results. On each visit to MGH he was ALWAYS on time. As someone who has dealt with doctors for decades this was incredible to me. And the fact that he gave me his cell phone-unbelievable. I can't say enough good things.

I joined, by invitation, a Neurooncological Clinical Trial in 2014 and have actively been followed by Dr Dietrich ever since. The Trial has been invaluable in confirming my remission. The Doctor has seen me both in-person and via zoom. MRI brain scans have been performed at MGH and locally to my home in Northern Mass. I am beyond greatfull for everything that the Doctor & MGH have done for me.

Dr. Dietrich was incredible. He was very knowledgeable about my entire situation, provided great feedback, and was very confident throughout the entire process. Really made me feel like I was getting the best treatment and we were gonna be safe in what was, I'd say, a challenging situation going through chemotherapy. Can't thank him enough for that experience.
