    Dr Chernofsky may want to allow more opportunities for questions in the consultation structure; I was able to ask my Qs, it might be more effective though to give the patient a chance to do so during the consultation rather build it in at the end (that's how I understood her approach based on a single consultation); I was very pleased with my consultation and the guidance I received

    Dr. Chernofsky provided an excellent summary of my condition and steps needed to move forward with a complete diagnosis. She is the ultimate expert on my condition. Although surgery seemed a bit daunting, I knew I was in good hands, both literally and figuratively. After the surgery, she tried to reach my husband. Along with leaving him a detailed summary of the surgical results, she also left a helpful summary for me on outpatient papers. Very thoughtful and reassuring.

    Dr. Chernofsky was very thorough about sharing relevant information for me to make decisions in a way that was accessible. She had strong recommendations for the next steps -- which I understand, and do not disagree with -- but these conversations can be difficult and anxiety provoking for patients, so a little more ""space"" for my concerns and questions would have been helpful. She spent a lot of time with me, and I appreciate that, but she spoke the vast majority of that time.
