Dr Maldonado was very thorough in explaining the results of my scan and the next steps. He explained in such detail that I had no questions to ask. He showed compassion to me about my situation and spoke in a manner that made me feel confident about a positive outcome. He's a real value to your team at Vanderbilt.
