Dr and Staff answered all my questions and concerns. I feel comfortable with Dr Glad she can help me
Dr Istl is amazing! I feel so fortunate that she was the oncologic surgeon who treated my malignant melanoma. While this visit was primarily a follow-up to an excision surgery, thereby was pretty quick, she was completely "there"; present, calm, straightforward, supportive. I felt like I was in excellent hands.
Spent a lot of time answering questions and making sure we understood.
Thus far my experience has been very positive and I look forward to my surgery appointment next Wednesday.
My appointment was very informative and very professional.
I was very impressed with the nurse tech, nurse and doctor. I felt very comfortable . The doctor explained the facts and answered all questions without rushing me!
Dr Istl and her staff were excellent! This was the first appointment with her and I was so impressed with her knowledge, kindness, and friendliness. I felt completely relaxed during the appointment and completely confident that my upcoming surgery would be safe and successful and that in the end, I will be cancer free. She made me feel so secure about the upcoming events that I will be going through.
I was highly impressed by my first visit to Froedtert. The people were incredible! I felt very well cared for and in extremely competent hands. Top notch facility!
Dr. Isle is a very caring professional. I feel very fortunate that she is the doctor taking care of my medical concerns
We have been grateful for the entire "necessary" experience given by this "team".
Amazing experience. Everyone was so kind and had amazing bedside manner. I was absolutely terrified going in and after leaving felt so much better knowing what is next and all the in-between. I'm very grateful that everyone was able to get me seen so quickly and getting my surgery scheduled ASAP has been a massive relief. Thank you!!
Dr. Istl was genuinely pleasant and thorough and spent a gracious amount of time with me to help me understand my diagnosis and prognosis.
Dr. Istl and her staff are top notch excellent! Her concern and care for my needs as a patient are obvious, and her willingness to listen to my concerns are so very reassuring! I am so very glad that I got her as my surgeon and as my cancer specialist! I look forward to working with her over the next few years as I transition to long term monitoring.
A very good experience. Team explained things at lay person's level. Treated well.
Dr. Istl provides exceptional care, she listens to and clearly addresses concerns.
Very good medical team. Always concerned and encouraging of my progress of healing.
