Dr. D'Wan has been a pleasure to work with, very responsive in a timely manner. This is a very much appreciated, as we work on deadlines to provide exam dates to our clients.
She was very responsive in addressing the requested edits, most of which were regarding formatting per the client’s requirements as well as an edit regarding a medical record date in lieu of content/answers to the posed questions, which was well-rationalized and explained, which makes our job much easier in QA when only minor edits are needed as the doctor has provided thorough answers with supporting rationale, and, in this case, ODG cited appropriately.
