    I was first seen by PA Klasina Caballero who was the most intelligent PA I have ever seen. Took my family history, reviewed meds, discussed all my complicated test results in such an understandable way that I had a most clear understanding (won't remember all, but I understood) of it all. She went through the AL Amylodosis also in the same thorough manner. Then Dr Kovacsovics entered. Never have I felt so loved, cared for, encouraged, & knowing if I had it, that I would never be alone while receiving the very best care & treatment. He further explained the complications of the disease, diagnosing it & treatment; went through my tests & explained I didn't have AL, his specially, & that I would be seen by Dr Stelek about his diagnosis of TRR. I was seen by Dr Stelek & explained I did not have that.

    Dr K was very thorough in his visit with me and even brought in other health care providers to help answer some of my questions. I really liked that.

    I had a bone marrow biopsy. The practitioner was very courteous, asked a lot of questions as to my feeling or comfort level, and explained what he was doing as the procedure was going along. He made me feel very secure.
