If I could choose a number higher than 10, I would. As I said above, I know I'm getting top notch care from a top notch hospital but please add to this that Dr. Tellez has been a bright light in my life health-wise, with her patience and calming effect. Educating me and helping me travel this road that was new and very frightening to me. She didn't treat me like one a thousand patients. She treated me like I was the only one. That's how it should be because you feel like somebody is in the room with you that gets it.
