Dr. Curseen has been my Palliative Physician for 5 years now. I do not know Hou I would make it without her. Having a Emory Legacy family, I was raised knowing the Emory standards and experiencing it as a patient has been weird. I'm dying. Dr. Curseen has exceeded any standards of care under the Emory umbrella. You and I are lucky to have her. Please make sure she is well cared for as well.:)

Dr. Curseen is always good re pre-appt reading of my records to see what new info has been going on with my health as well as recalling things we speak about & expanding on those issues. It's very helpful to me as her patient re my health & you'd be surprised at the docs who don't do that. Those few minutes of review saves everyone so much time & possible misunderstandings (grief). She also gives me new Info on common sense things others may see as trivial but that she knows, as my other providers may know, that I love to learn new things daily (my mantra too).
