    The wait time is frustrating for sometime who has a cancer diagnosis. Perhaps they could have an expedited pathway for newly diagnosed patients.

    Dr. Taj was very patient, thorough and knowledgeable. I came to her for a 2nd opinion. She took time to explain the test results from the prior doctor when he did not. Dr. Taj made a diagnosis from those results, when I've been seeking answers to my symptoms for months. She has also ordered a test to evaluate my specific triggers for the symptoms. I look forward to my follow up visit in January.

    Dr Taj has been treating me for a few months and is excellent. She took the time to explain things and worked with me on reducing the meds prescribed. I didn't like hearing what she had to tell me, but that's not her fault. She has handled my case wonderfully.

    Dr. Taj was very attentive and seemed to know what she was talking about. She said she wanted a blood test, but I did not get an order for it. I don't know if that will happen when I come in for the lung function test or not. She also wanted a sputtal sample. Again, that might happen at the lung function test.
