My husband and I both felt that Dr. Kim Margolin is not only first rate, but that she is also very real. Her knowledge and expertise in explaining the options I have for immunotherapy are very helpful. Unfortunately, we realize that this treatment would be frequent and that for these types of commitments issues with: traffic, follow up and other restrictions made us decide to find a program closer to home. I do feel that if we lived nearer we would definitely choose her as our best option. I am so grateful for the time she spent with us and the care that we have received at Providence.
