      Dr Magnuson is an excellent, patient-focused physician. He spent about 15 minutes with me during my post-op visit, explaining the pathology findings and ensuring I was healing well. He also offered to help me Identify a gastroenterologist at Hopkins who can take over treatment of my Crohn's disease and GERD.
