Re: Re: Mt. Sinai vs. NYU-

[Guest guest]

Dear :

Jane is right on about Dr. Ren. She assisted Dr. Gagner in my lap DS on

12-3-99, and she continued to call me at home here in WI for well over a

year, just to check up on me. I recently emailed her several times, and she

got back to me right away, and she was on vacation. She truly cares about

her patients.
