How was your appointment with Dr. Bilfinger?
Dr Bilfinger came highly recommended and now I highly recommend him also. He is a true Gentleman. He is kind, caring and he has incredible skills. He explained the procedure to me perfectly answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed or uneducated. He is truly respected by all the hospital staff. I was told he treats everyone with with such respect. I witnessed him mentoring a young male nurse that was doing a procedure on me. Doctor B taught him and praised him when finished for doing a great job. Dr. Bilfinger is straight to the point, doesn't sugar coat things, and has a good sense of humor. He made me feel comfortable and I never doubted he was the best Dr. for the job. Dr. B. came to see me everyday I was in the hospital. I did so well that 4 weeks later I was able to fly to Florida for a Universal Studio vacation and walk 7 miles a day and go on most of the rides. Dr. Bilfinger is the man!!! Thank you for everything. PS the entire StonyBrook staff was awesome.
