Going to Dr. Hylwa is like going to how a doctor used to be. She'll take as long with you as you need. If you need a hug, you'll get a hug. (Or two!) If you need bracing encouragement, she'll be there for you that way. If you need to talk something out, she will talk with you as long as you need. Hour-long appointments are not uncommon! She carefully reviews all of your results with you, telling you what it all means, so you're not in the dark about your own medical care. She isn't one of those doctors who groans when they see a list of questions. Instead she takes your list and makes sure she answers every question so you understand it. She was my mother's doctor as well, and she was fantastic to both my mother and me as my mother was dying of cancer. We couldn't have asked for a better advocate or more helpful and caring person to help us go through that process. read more
