I had a lot of question and Dr. Dutta took the time to address every question without me feeling rushed. He also stated that he would collaborate with my team of doctors to determine best treatment plan for me. This implies that he doesn't provide a "cookie cutter" experience to all, but rather a personalized experience me one.
