Dr. Xu had reviewed my prior medical history. He was totally prepared. He had excellent communication skills and explained everything clearly. He also had a good understanding of my point of view when I explained why I didn't want overly aggressive medical care in certain areas. My medical conditions (including advanced cancer) are complex, involve multiple different types of doctors at Northwestern, and require coordination of care and prioritizing the most important health issues.
