Great experience,Spent well over an hour with us, was very up front and answer all of our questions. Gave me the impression he really cared, and that I would get the personalized care that I needed from the Vanderbilt team

Doctor on that day was not my case manager but he had obviously looked over my history and was well prepared to meet with me. He was very easy to talk to and eager to answer questions. He asked me questions also concerning my case and how I was feeling.
