5.0 star star star star starDr. Jelinek is taking my treatment forward for a condition that I have struggled with for at least six years. Her probing questions seem to eliminate other options as she progresses through a hierarchy of options. She becomes more alert in subtle ways based on my answers to her questions. Of course I don’t know the answers that will provoke interest her so just answer factually. She allowed us input but based on her recommendations are proceeding promptly with treatment. She offered to find a prominent thoracic surgeon and I received a call the very next day. Amazing. I hold her in the highest regard.

5.0 star star star star starShe was able to help me with my gastro issues when other gastroenterologists could not. When she does a biopsy in a procedure, I do not hurt. When other gastroenterologists did them I hurt for weeks. She has an understanding of medications and how some people may need them long term and not just for a few months so they can heal. She is knowledgeable, has an excellent bedside manner and is caring. I give her a glowing report.

5.0 star star star star starI had the doctor for a previous procedure and all went well. That is why I tried so hard for the appointment as I wanted to stick with her. I almost had to give up and pick a new doctor! After our pre-appointment teleconference today, I was able to schedule the actual procedure but not until [month].
