He's easy to talk to and has a good demeanor and very informative and positive oh hi very knowledgeable
Ver personable and good communications.
Dr Bui is a very good Doctor and we have worked together for over two years.. my comment for consideration is regarding communication approaches in unfortunate situations when a radiology report may contain challenging information for the patient. I have regular scans and typically results are released to me within 24 hours or so after the scan. Thus, when a patient does not receive the results prior to an appointment, one naturally becomes concerned and anxiety can be elevated. I just wonder if perhaps there can be a way to accelerate engagement with patients in these instances to reduce any anxiety of somewhat extended time periods. I am not faulting doctors or staff in the slightest here, as such planning is not always possible, but I do wonder if some protocol might be helpful in these instances.
