Dr Chortkoff is a star. She has taken care of me for years now and I could not, cannot, imagine a better provider. But I believe she also is over-taxed. Patients want time with their provider without feeling that time is short. Dr C always acts like she came in just to see me and I am sure conveys that to everyone. But too many appointments leads to provider burn out.
