          Dr. Handler gave the most compassionate, thorough, patient-centered care a patient could ever desire. Even though the pt's TBI was 16 years previous, Dr. Handler was most interested in every answer to many questions he put forth. Shared decision making in moving forward was also important to him. We've never had such a positive experience!
