I can't say enough positive about the doctor. He listened to my concerns and cleared up any misinformation that had been given to me by another physician. Gave me enough time to discuss my issue and gave me a clear and concise plan going forward.

*Dr. Shichman took the time to explain my situation not only in words, but also by drawing a picture of my kidneys/kidney pelvis/ureter, etc., to explain my particular physiology. He carefully and thoughtfully explained future options if my condition were to worsen.

I've had some bad experiences with other doctors but here, I was treated with respect and I felt well listened to and understood. Dr Shichman has arranged for me to see all of his doctors including a new PCP. I will now be under the HHN umbrella. I'm very happy with the care I received and I'm looking forward to having all the doctors in "one place". If the service is anything like what I received with Dr Shichman and his staff then life will be so much easier. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to express my gratitude.
