    Dr. Teplinsky was so helpful-clear, specific, gave me context and rationale about her recommendations while presenting clear information of risks/benefits; and this being my first appt, she read-and retained-info I gave on my intake before meeting me; and I especially appreciate her making time for me when she was very tightly scheduled so that I could get her second opinion before my treatment begins. She [...] went above and beyond.
