One star One star One star One star One half star	04/24/2024	A malady like the one I have is mysterious and the doctor is researching ways to slow or reverse it. He is very patient and thorough in his explanations but seems to be hurried. In terms of explanations, the process needs to be refined to consider the lab process. That is, I have blood drawn on a given visit and the results are reported on my portal but there is no physician follow-up to explain and interpret the results. Therefore, I don't know if my lab results are expected, not expected, positive, or disappointing to the doctor.
One star One star One star One star One star	03/21/2024	When I could not get answers that made sense to me regarding my medical need I called Emory and it was the best decision I could have made. I was receiving a different diagnosis with each Dr prior to Emory and none of them made sense to me. The Physicians at Emory seemed to know the correct answers immediately, and performed tests that proved their diagnosis. It may have saved my life.

One star One star One star One star One star	05/03/2023	Dr. Dhodapkar always ready to listen and have answers. He encourages me. Not too quick to give me medications until he finds out the source of the problem.
One star One star One star One star One star	01/13/2023	Dr. D is a very no nonsense to the point Dr. Which I appreciate! You can tell he is a kind man as well. He has his patient's health as his priority. He works very well with my Oncologist too.
