    She was good at looking at the situation and as good as she could be with the information that she had gotten prior to the appointment; needed MRI images so that she could review with me. I have had to call often to find out the status of the receipt of those images, which is disappointing

    Dr. Horta was very attentive, knowledgeable, and caring. The appointment went very well with her. She showed me illustrative materials that explained the positive progress for MRI imaging. We discussed other options like the Optune electrodes. She was very good! Thank you!
