The physician spent a good deal of time getting my history but did not do any exam. She only looked at my legs when I pointed out that I believed my right leg was bigger than my left leg for a 3rd time. The physician still did not physically touch my leg. The physician said that she had no explanation why I would get a pulmonary embolism 2 times.

Dr. Rappazzo has impressed me with her thoroughness & knowledgeable comprehension of a complex medical condition. This has provided confidence within me as a patient, especially given the retirement of my 18yr hematologist prior to Dr. Rappazzo.

The visit was good and Dr R had insisted into a problem. I formerly saw Dr [ ] who educated me on latest research and findings in my MPN. That was only thing missing with Dr R who said she isn't involved in research and that tge MPN Center had closed.
