    Dr B was incredible. She was very aware of the results of prior tests I'd had done prior to meeting her and was so good at explaining things to me in a way that I could easily understand. I left knowing so much more about pulmonary hypertension and how the heart and lungs work together. She received all of my ridiculous questions and stories with grace and understanding, and answered me with clarity and kindness. I am so grateful she was my doctor for this appointment.

    Competent, friendly. The only criticism is failure to use respiratory precautions which should be universal is all healthcare settings based on current data.
