    Excellent

    Dr. Padussis was well informed of my condition and showed me what he was looking at on my MRI, PET scan and CT scan, before he presented a recommendation for treatment. He patiently answered my questions regarding further treatment options. We also appreciated that he had no problem having our daughter, who is a nurse, listen in on the phone. We found Dr. Padussis to be very thorough in his explanation.
