Feb 29, 2024
Dr. Otis from our first video appointment post [...] through current has treated me with respect, has listened, provided guidance, and been one of the most outstanding physicians I've had the pleasure working with during this whole ordeal. I'm living in a new existence from pre-[...] and one that has shown me the slowing my mind down to be able to absorb things people are saying vs hearing in passing and retaining is a new challenge & I've never backed down before and won't now. When you have dedicated health care professionals that truly advocate for your wellbeing, they are a blessing. I have found that to be a Baystate! So, a tremendous thank you!
