There was a positive, welcoming approach by all staff. The meeting was not rushed and all members of the team were understanding. The testing was done in a professional, yet kindly, manner. If there is a time when I should need such a similar procedure again, or even to recommend to a friend, I would choose Dr Modiano and her team.
Looking forward to my follow up appointment
She listened to me, she explained to me, and I'm thankful that she took out the time to do that.
Dr. Modiano was an amazing doctor who really helped me understand everything I was going through on a non-doctor level. So it was really great to have that bit of understanding. She really made me feel comfortable and definitely, hopefully I don't have any major issues to go back, but if I have to, I will be there for her as my doctor and also I will recommend her to everybody else. So thank you all for the whole entire group, the crew, the staff, everybody there was amazing and I appreciate everybody there. Thank you. END
Thank you very much, Blessings to all the medical staff and interpreters, very professional.
Thank you so much for your service and you're a great doctor.
Please thank the MRI/imaging technician. She went above and beyond and was so kind and caring.
My experience though a first time MEG scan was scary but my team helped me so much and made me completely comfortable and at ease I'm so grateful to have such an awesome team and drs
Very positive session...felt good!
I think Dr. Modiano is amazing. I inadvertently for the fifth question I think it was, it was supposed to be a four and I pressed three accidentally. I would highly recommend her to anybody and greatly appreciate the knowledge that she has. Look forward to working with her.
