Dr. Donohue at MGH Boston has been great thus far. He met with me for an hour and a half for my consultation, and he has been very responsive over the phone as well. Dr. Donohue is a cardiothoracic surgeon but has told me that he does not want to do surgery before ruling out all other options. As a single 24 yo working to pay back extreme college loans, I appreciate that he does not want to do surgery yet, if at all.

Catherine Wee, an OT at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, was also fabulous. I saw her for several appts, but my condition continued to worsen. She is down to earth and compassionate. When I had been referred to other doctors around the Boston area, she called me after a couple months just to check in - I really like her, but I'm just not in a place where PT is helpful.
