My fondest wish is that everyone with vascular issues would see Dr. Adelman. My own primary care physician, Dr. Daniel Charnoff, had recommended him to me two days ago, informing me that Dr. Adelman had operated on his father 25 years ago. Further, he remarked that if ever he, himself, required vascular surgery, he would see only Dr. Adelman.

I was fortunate enough to get an appointment the following day and, although fearing the worst news, I got the best which, incidentally, was contrary to the confusion two other vascular surgeons had caused.

Dr. Adelman is completely focused and explains your problems in plain, understandable language. This sweet, erudite physician entered the exam room with a big smile (after my tests were done and after he examined the records I had brought), saying that everything is good. That same joyous mien was also present when he shook hands with me upon his exiting the room.

His assistant, Michelle, was extremely pleasant, focused, and calming. Zola, who performed the Ankle Brachial Test, was competent, friendly, and funny. Both seemed to be intelligent and capable-exactly what I would expect from employees of this superb physician.

Finally, Dr. Adelman is the quintessential professional and the ultimate humanist. I look forward to my visit in one year from now.

The apprehension is gone!
