      It doesn't matter if I have a physician assistant or a student, or a new doctor training under Dr. Suski, I have always received the utmost attention from them and they take their time to listen to not only my concerns but they listen to what my husband has to say and has noticed. And Dr. Suski- I just can't say enough about her. She takes the time to actually talk and listen.

      I am blessed by having several very good UPMC affiliated doctors. Dr. Suski is one of the best. In addition to be an expert in her field, she is a great listener and I think she cares about her patients. During this visit, there were a lot of things I needed to communicate to her. She is also very ethical in her approach. She made a recommendation to reintroduce a drug that had been discontinued by another doctor at a reduced dosage. Although she could have simply ordered the drug, she wanted me to run the change past the other doctor. I did follow-up with the other doctor, and he responded that it was a great idea and sent in the new prescription at the dosage that Dr. Suski ordered. In my opinion this is the way it should work, and I really appreciate the support provided by everyone involved.
