My current oncologist is Dr. Erban. Ive seen him a couple of time and I like him. I told him, its taken me a long time to make an appointment to see you. Dr. Nordstrom had referred me to him. The office did call me for an appointment. They're right on top of my back. I have no complaint with the oncology care that I get. They have prompt response any day or night. I don't really know him too much. I've seen him a couple of times. They are wonderful. I tell anybody when they tell me their woes, this is where I went. I will probably be with him for the remaining of my life.

I have been going to him for at least 12 years. He listens to me. I discuss any issues I have and he will give me his opinion on the concerns. He will have me follow up with a specialist if necessary. He is very good to talk to. He has a very nice manner about him. I'm not sure if he is currently accepting new patients.

I had a very complicated aneurysm in my brain . BIDC told me to get a second opinion and when I spoke with a surgeon at BIDC and they seemed reluctant to perform the surgery. They said that the aneurysm had a 10% chance of rupturing and since the risk of surgery was about the same risk , I could opt out of the surgery and monitor it every 6 months . After another exam the said it would be a complicated surgery because of other arteries were passing thru the aneurysm and would need to be rerouted. I called MGH and didn't get a return call for two weeks. I called Tufts and got an appointment for Friday of the same week. Dr Adele Malik was my surgeon and he was incredible. He ordered more scans and found a daughter aneurysm on top of the larger aneurysm and said that the daughter aneurysm was much more dangerous than the larger aneurysm. He explained everything clearly and was confident he could do the surgery with a low risk. He explained why he would use a clip rather than a coil or stent. Surgery was scheduled for 10 days later and all went perfectly . Dr Malik saved my life and I will be ever grateful to him and his staff and the entire staff at Tufts Medical. Dr Malik is a gifted surgeon with a great bedside manner and I would highly recommend him. Jim Norris

Dr. Silberman was very welcoming, yet highly professional. He asks many questions then spends time actually listening to the answers and then asks more questions. His is direct and gets right to the point and he will tell you what you need to hear (some people may not like that).He also remembers everything that I have told him since I started seeing him and he is the first person that picked up on things about me that no one else has. His perceptions have been insightful and right on target and his suggestions and treatments have been life changing (for the better) for me. I am hesitant to share my wonderful experience with Dr. Silberman as I want to insure that he will have room in his calendar for my appts. He really is that good.
Description of Work: I went to Dr. Silberman for help with life issues. I was at my wits end with inability to focus, get things done and my frustration with myself and accompanying health issues.

I am pleased to write about an extraordinarily positive plastic surgery experience I recently had with Dr. Christopher Davidson of Wellesley,MA. I'm a 65+ man with a youthful spirit and demeanor. The only thing that gave away my age was my "turkey neck" ? a collection of extra skin below my chin that actually clung to the top or my chest when I moved my head. It bothered me a great deal (although many people said they never noticed it!) After years of bemoaning my genetic fate, I decided it was time to do something about it. I looked online for plastic surgeons and was impressed by Dr. Davidson's background and training and the extremely positive reviews of his work. I had two meetings with Dr. Davidson before taking the plunge and undergoing a "neck lift." Dr. Davidson was extremely clear in telling me what the procedure entailed and what the recuperation would be. I felt very comfortable talking with him and decided to go ahead with the surgery. Needless to say, I'm thrilled I did!! It's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I look and feel at least ten years younger. The surgery itself went very smoothly. The nursing staff was superb, as was the anesthesiologist. Dr. Davidson's office manager, Pam, makes you feel like you're "family." I experienced some pain the first day after surgery, but it was manageable. After a day and a half, I took myself off all painkillers. I wore a neck sling for a week (not the most enjoyable experience), but it wasn't too bad. The most important thing is that Dr. Davidson did a superb job! My neck looks completely natural. People who don't know me would never guess in a thousand years that I had any "work" done. Dr. Davidson told me that he tends to be conservative in order to achieve a natural look. And this approach certainly paid off. Dr. Davidson and his entire staff are incredibly nurturing and caring. The doctor called me at home twice to see how I was doing. He was attentive, responsive, and most of all extremely accessible. If anyone is considering any kind of plastic or reconstructive surgery, I would strongly recommend Dr. Christopher Davidson and his extraordinary team. He is one of the most outstanding medical professionals I have ever encountered.
Description of Work: Finding about having a neck lift. The doctor was extremely helpful and explanatory.

I went to see Dr. Schienman because other dermatologists had not been able to identify the cause of the dermatitis that I have been suffering on my hands. What sets her practice apart is the systematic way in which she and her staff test for a wide array of possible causes of immune reaction which produce the dermatitis. So there is an initial consultation and then a three sessions of patch testing which take place in one week, one to apply the patches, the second to get a preliminary reading and remove the patches, and the last one to gain a final reading and provide final recommendations. Instead of guessing about possible causes, we are in the realm of evidence, and it was very reassuring and comforting to have hard data about what was going on. (Previous to this, I had been trying things more or less haphazardly for the better part of three years.) Not all of the problem is gone (it is hard, for example, to eliminate chrome entirely from one's diet) but enough reduced that it is no longer a chronic skin condition in danger of being infected, and having recurring problems. As far as I know there are no other dermatological practices that are as advanced in these procedures as she is. Dr. Schienman does what she does very well indeed.
Description of Work: I have gone to Dr. Schienman for a long-standing issue with contact and systemic dermatitis.

Exam was fine. No problems with my eyes. Recieved new prescription. However, the bill for this was over $500 dollars. First they tried to submit to my health insurance which of course rejected it. Then they submitted it to my vision insurance but I still ended up owing $237.00. This is more than I have ever had to pay for any eye exam before even when I paid the entire bill. I thought this charge was outrageous. I have no eye problems other than needing glasses for myopia. The optomotrist did a complete exam but nothing worth over $500.00. I will never go back there again.

Dr. Salter is very straight forward and a little more accessible than many psychiatrists are. She doesn't do therapy, but she does talk to you about what is going on in your life and she has helped me on a psychological (not just psychiatric) level a number of times. She is always very punctual but doesn't make you feel like she has to rush you to see her next patient. The whole office environment is very nice.
