4.0 star star star star star_borderI don't know what happened today but she was not available for my appointment. Total time with a blood draw, was 2.5 hrs. Only after I went looking for Dr Dinner I saw a diffrent physician. What ever was the problem it was upsetting. Eventually I saw Dr Dinner for a few minutes as I was walking out.

5.0 star star star star starOutstanding expertise in her specialty. I have immense faith in her medical advice and decision making. She involves me in the decisions regarding my care. She consults with her peers to try to determine the best pathway to cure me when there is limited data to inform her of what path to choose. She is also open to novel and cutting edge methods of care.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Dinner read my complete chart prior to my visit, was very thorough in her questions & examination and had developed a plan of care at my visit. I totally agreed with the plan. She was very knowledgeable, complete (not dismissive), and genuinely concerned for my health and care of my current health.

5.0 star star star star starDr Dinner made the time required to thoroughly understand my condition and make recommendations for my AML treatment. I couldn't have asked for more. Because of the severity of my diagnosis she wouldn't let me leave my visit without first taking a blood test in order to verify that I was healthy enough to do so. She was ready to admit me to the hospital if my blood tests indicated that treatment was required immediately.

4.0 star star star star star_borderWaited a half hour to be called and then advised two patients ahead of me. Then advised office would call to make an appointment for a biopsy and I had to mychart her office to get the appointment. She either has poor time issues or is too busy. I will continue with her for now but if time issues continue I will look elsewhere
