My visit with Ms. Blumenthal was incredible. I was very impressed with her in-depth investigation and knowledge of my medical history and determination to get to the root cause of a recent diagnosed [DX]. Initially she was not sure why Dr. [] order a check for clotting disorder, since I am on [RX]. As soon as I mentioned my daughter had been diagnosed with [] after suffering a stroke, she said that made sense and asked how many pregnancies I had and how many children. My answers convinced her to order blood tests. Told if I had the disorder medication would possibly change as [RX] does not protect breakthroughs as well other meds. She was easy to speak to, listened as I spoke and nerver made me feel rushed. Blood work was done. When results are in she will call and a follow up has been scheduled in [DATE].

Susan was very personable and remembered my hobbies even from only seeing once a year.

11/16/2023

I’ve been seeing Susan since 2010 - initially with dr []. When diagnosed with [], I spent much time and effort selecting Dr [] as my oncologist. Honestly, I fear that the practice now acquired by Wakemed will lose much expertise when Dr [] retires and quality of care may decrease and I really, really hope that does not happen! Please Learn from my trusted Dr [] and his staff to put their best “patient first” practices in place. As an example, my first scary appt with Dr [] (after he studied my case) was a 2hr conversation with him detailing all aspects and patiently answering all my questions. It was a Friday afternoon appt that he made available for me. When I walked out, I realized it was like 6pm and everyone had left for the day. Graciousness, intellect, and true caring was what I felt I just received. Support Susan and learn from her since she represents years working at Waverly under Dr []. Thank you.
