Unfortunately I am giving this low rating because the doctor should be triple checking that all of the vaccines listed on vaccine records are accurate and given when they are supposed to be given. Obviously the “system” cannot be trusted. She should know what vaccines should or should not be given at each well visit and should not rely on the computer system alone.

Dr. Messinger is fantastic! She's extremely nice and empathetic, and probably the only doctor I'd trust wholeheartedly. She's not afraid to admit if she doesn't know something, and will give great recommendations. I'm sad I'll be turning 21 next October, and will no longer be able to have her as my doctor, but I trust she'll help find me a good primary care doctor to switch over to.

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.
