All very excellent - could not have been better.
Hi, I thought Dr. Avram was very clear, very upfront, very honest, very prepared, and gave me the exact experience that I was hoping to get out of going to visit him.
Skillful
Yeah, Dr. Avram is great. He's been my doctor for quite some time, dermatology, and I'm very confident he's really helped me a lot. Thank you.

The nurse administering my shingles vaccine was very professional, experienced in what I needed done, knowledgeable and friendly, did a great job and this is why I travel extra to get this type of excellent care at BWH!
Very rushed, seemed like he had better things to do.
Fast and efficient
