Very good.

Dr. Zaidi and his resident Dr. Aileen Johnson were wonderful. Both easy to talk with, showed genuine compassion and concern, so knowledgeable and up to date on my situation. I never feel or get rushed - they explain every aspect and listen to every question and worry that I have. I'm so fortunate to have Dr. Zaidi and his team on my team.

All of these discussions were without the pathology report. The doctor was fine but the information was not conclusive because of no results.

Dr. Zaidi was the first doctor to actually show us the scans of my cancer. That did make us feel more empowered

Very thorough with my past history and explained HAI very well. Don't know how many of these he has actually done as was not confident it would help, yet thought it would be a good idea for me and would bring up to cancer board. I had deep reservations about a major surgery again, 7 day hospital stay, increased inflammation in the body and risk it wouldn't work anyway. Downplayed proton therapy as a palliative care measure which don't believe to be true. If he was selling this as THE WAY to go for sure did not do a good job of that.

This time the Dr was really busy with another patient and although he was really nicer, the service wasn't as good as the prior visits

While offered to skip years, he listened and understood that I can't handle the anxiety associated with the additional time between visits and scans. Having him show me side-by-side views of my problem was special and appreciated.

Dr. Zaidi is Incredible! He talked with me & not to me or around me - he is extremely patient & took as much time as I needed & truly listened to my questions.
