I especially appreciated that he took the time to go through all of my questions and concerns. I had prepared for our meeting by investigating the results of my echocardiogram (NM does not provide referent ranges for the numerous measures provided: a heads-up for improvement), and I wanted to discuss the various possible implications of these results. Dr. Patel went through everything with me and answered all of my questions in a way that I did not feel hurried. Bravo.

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.
