Dr. Blalock and his team took extraordinary care to make sure I was informed at every step, to patiently answer questions and to give me enough time to think through options. My experience at Emory is that so many doctors are given such impossible schedules that they feel rushed and this carries over to patient care. I am grateful for the time taken.
