Dr. Chivakula was very careful and kind and explained the procedure very thoroughly. She was very comforting and checked in frequently to see how I was doing.

She was nice, don’t get me wrong. But I absolutely felt like she was working on a timer and wanted me out of the office as soon as she could get me out. And of the three options given, two are out of insurance so I really feel like I got for my outcomes. It was also really confusing because she’s the only one that’s said it’s muscle and not fluid, which I think is good. I feel more confused now than ever.

Good information. Delivery cld have been more straightforward, as it felt like the analogies used were tailored for someone with less experience. Given my history with shoulder surgeries, I am well educated as to mechanics, etc.

She was kind, not real warm, but seemed to care and invited questions. Explained what she was doing very well.
