How do you review a MD's office?
Let's see. When I talk to other healthcare professionals about who my oncologist is, the first thing they say is to do whatever he tells you because he keeps his patients alive. Dr. Kalman has the bedside manner you need when you're being delivered the worse news you can hear. He makes sure everyone in the room is paying attention. He doesn't has a complex that he's a superhero, although he certainly is. The office is caring. He cares about you as an individual not as a diagnosis. When I had surgery and he came to see me, he acted like he was there just to visit because he saw I was by myself at the time he came. (I had just sent everyone home). He knew that I wouldn't remember anything he said and that I needed my entourage there. Can't say the same for all others who talked to me.
All in all, for obvious reasons I wish I never met him under the circumstances I did...I am so very lucky to have Dr. Kalman, Christopher and the rest of the office on my team. read more
