Dr Stovsky listens and communicates well. He is very thorough in our discussions and ensures my understanding

He consistently rushes through his explanations of what he's learned about my condition and what the treatment options are. He seems to be "following the rules" about giving full information and options, and he asks if I have any questions. I tell him I can't absorb it all as rapidly as he is giving it out, and I ask him to repeat more slowly. It's obvious that he doesn't feel comfortable repeating and going more slowly; it always feels as if he's got other important things to get to now that he's ticked off the "should do's". So I ask that he write out his explanations and the my treatment options on the after-visit summary. What I see on the after-visit summary is cryptic. And it is incomplete - in particular, no mention of treatment options. Consequently, I am unable to go over and think about my condition and what actions and decisions I need to take.

The front staff (check-in/check-out area) were terrific - concerned, helpful, and pleasant. The nurse/p.a. seemed to have other things on her mind... or just running through the steps of a process she'd done a million times before.
