    Excellent facility
    Aug 27, 2024
    I only put a 4 "good" for follow-up care as I am a bit unsure at this point to what/when the follow-up is at this point. But the answer to my questions about follow-up visit options was encouraging at the time, just don't know exactly what/when the next steps are.

    May 07, 2023
    Dr. Bush is fantastic, one of the 2-3 best providers I've had in my lifetime. But my issue with radiology refusing to use more than the lowest strength MRI on my brain tumor MUST be resolved. I have no doubt that Dr Bush is right, but a disagreement between the radiologist reading an MRI and the neurologist is ridiculous. This must be resolved somehow.
    May 03, 2023
    Dr Bush is kind and gentle with myself and my family. This visit we received some hard news and she was kind and patient with us. Never giving up hope for recovery even when things in my health are going downhill . A true caring professional
