I feel extremely pesky, I don't mean to be, but I know I am not an easy patient. Dr. Tantravahi is VERY patient with me. I certainly trust his expertise and appreciate his willingness to explain hematological health with me. I also appreciate him listening to my concern about a possible genetic blood issue, Thalassemia, even though he may not directly agree with my personal perspective, seeing as he is a very knowledgable Hematologist and certainly would know better than I do, he still listened. Dr. Tantravahi is willing to accept we are all human, even himself, and this lends to his compassion and willingness to listen and help. I hope he knows I think very highly of him, I understand that I am a very inquisitive person which can be pesky or annoying, but he always takes the time to talk about the medical science behind my blood panels. I appreciate his knowledge and compassion and patience.
