I was very anxious going into my appointment due to my miscarriage back in July. Dr. Isak was patient with me, beyond kind and understanding, made the whole appointment as comfortable as it could be. She is a gem and I am so grateful to have found her. I feel I will be in excellent hands with her and her colleagues as I look towards the future of hopefully having a healthy full-term pregnancy.

Dr. Isak was wonderful. She took time to give me options and make sure I understood everything she planned to do. Together we decided what procedure would be best. She physically went to the planner to get me in as soon as possible. I felt very grateful for her diligence. During the procedure she made sure I was comfortable. I felt valued.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
