Obviously this is the job they do every day, but the organization, the provision of written materials and the patience to allow me to "back-track" and ask questions was great

Dr. Kumaran didn't seem to remember that I had had a Pet/CT [IN THE SPRING] which he had ordered the previous [YEAR] and that the scan resulted in suspension of cancer in my left kidney, thyroid, and lymph nodes in my neck and that he had ordered a follow-up CT and appointments with Dr. [NAME] and Dr. [NAME]. He obviously had not reviewed my chart nor the emails between us from [FEW MONTHS PRIOR] to the present. He seemed only interested in scheduling me an appointment for next year in August for another PET scan and to see him.
