Andrea was incredible! I've had several bone marrow biopsies done in the past and this was positively the most pain free and comfortable one I've ever had. I initially asked for a fentinyl lollipop like I had in the past to ease the pain. Andrea convinced me to try it without the fentinyl stating that we would use some yoga and breathing techniques instead. I totally trusted her and agreed to skip the fentinyl. As I said, it was the easiest bone marrow biopsy I have ever had. She kept me informed throughout the procedure and I was totally shocked when she said it was over. In the future, I will request Andrea to perform the procedure.

It had been about four years since I had contact with Andrea. She took the time to catch up about how I was doing since seeing her prior to Monday morning. During my procedure Andrea made sure that I was doing OK.

She was absolutely amazing. I was so nervous for my procedure (BMBx) and she instantly put me at ease. I was so grateful for her obvious skill, expertise, and the way she calmly talked me through the procedure.

An excellent provider--excellent skills, very caring. Accomplished the procedure with excellence in spite of the fact that I had a vagal reaction and she had to help me deal with that as well.
