Dr. English was great, when she received the MRI results for my neck and they showed a nodule on my thyroid (in addition to the pinched nerve she suspected), she sent in the orders for me to have an ultrasound and then called me the following week to see if I needed anything else. It was so nice to talk to someone, because I ended up needing a biopsy and hadn't even talked to a Dr. at that point. My primary care provider that ordered the biopsy never even called to see how I was or if I needed anything else. Dr. English has made me feel like a person that she cared about, not just another patient.
