Dr. Shah first apologized profusely for being so late as the time for the appointment before us had been scheduled for a shorter time than was necessary. I thought that was very kind. But Dr. Shah more importantly listened and took all of my concerns seriously and answered each one of them in as much detail as was needed. She was very reassuring, very knowledgeable, and when I left I felt confident that I was doing all that was necessary to keep my blood counts within normal range. (Also, many years ago I had cancer, and if I had cancer again, I would want her to treat me.)
