    Appreciative of her efforts to reach out to and work with the Aortic Dissection team. Felt comfortable that with Dr. Hirsch, Dr. Wilcox, my new primary and the Aortic Dissection team/ Vascular surgery team, I'm getting about as good care as possible. I'm grateful for everyone working together.

    Dr. Wilcox is one of the best physicians I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Aside from being kind, caring and personable, she is extremely knowledgeable, very patient and skilled in shared decision-making. I could not recommend her more highly.
