      The resident, Dr. Chu, clearly explained the nature of my parathyroid issue, the reasons for surgery, the risks of surgery and after care. The surgeon, Dr. Gosnell, was also very clear in her explanation and in her answers to my questions.

      Gosnell is great, which is why I come here. She's a stellar doctor. Albeit steeped in science, I would love her to continue widening her lens to include western science and evidence-based alternative approaches.
