I just wished there was a after visit summary of our talking points in my chart because I couldn't remember all the information about treatment plan moving forward.

It was a great experience since I am now clear of stage 4 colon cancer, which went into my liver and lung. Clear of all cancers for 5 years now!!!

The care I receive is good and the treatments have been generally successful, however distant and impersonal. I would have to advise prospective patients that Zoom and Mychart are the main source of contact with my doctor. I am grateful for the treatment I have received but others may want see their provider closer and more personally involved, at least at the outset of their relationship. I'd like to add that the many, many nurses, technicians and customer service people I interacted with at MB over the last 16 months have been receptive, kind and helpful.
