Dr. Barshack was great through the process. She may have been the most caring doctor I remember in any process. She followed up regularly and her expertise took it to another level. She evaluated all the options and came up with an antibiotic to cover my infection after lung surgery [redacted]. She stayed with me both coming to see me in the hospital and tremendous follow up which has been ongoing.
