Dr. Gartland provided the highest level of care. My thyroid ablation went as well as it could have and there was a great reduction in size and very significant reduction in symptoms. Couldn't ask for a better result.

Dr Gartland asked me a lot of questions, to ascertain what I knew about my condition and how I felt about it. This was unexpected, but appreciated as it focused our time on filling in gaps, explaining her role and the procedure options, and agreeing to a care plan.

I am so impressed with Dr Gartland, so pleased that she's my doctor! Talented, kind, warm. Put aside the fact that her cutting edge ablation helped me avoid surgery, put aside no bruising or pain whatsoever, the procedure shrunk the nodule and got rid of my symptoms.

I did not think of this as an experience at MGH, since it was online; it felt more like a conversation than a medical appointment. I like Dr. Gartland and am strongly inclined to do whatever she recommends.
