I want to give my provider the biggest thank you. I feel like a lot of Doctors can learn from her because when I became her patient, she listened and notes while I was talking. She did her medical research on me before I even came for my first appointment. I was very impressed. There are a lot of doctors don't even listen anymore. A lot of doctors kind of treat patients all the same. They just do what they believe is best for you without caring about your concerns. Even when I got my biopsy, she had told the person that was doing the procedure the concerns I had. I really appreciate that. It's rare to find the doctors now, but I can honestly say this was a good doctor and I hope whoever train under her take after her footsteps.
Dr Barbara Bresnahan is at the very top in all respects: knowledge, experience, communication skill, ability to adapt to addressing the patient's current needs, engaging Interpersonal demeanor, personal dedication to her workShe has my complete confidence. KW
Dr Breshnehan always explains things well and listens to questions and concerns. Explains things so they are clear and understandable.
I was a few minutes late for my appointment And the Drs assistant checked to see if Dr. Was still available. So glad , as I had come from more than an hour away. Dr. "B" came In and said everything was ok. She proceeded to explain in great detail my test results and how we were to handleTreatment of my condition. She also said because of the long distance we could probably do a visual visit next time. She has been my "rock" thru my whole transplantRight from the beginning. She is a superior doctor and woman!! Love her!!!!!! The best!!!!
