Dr. Ghosh took time to listen, answer questions

I am a patient of Dr. Chirantan Ghosh and was extremely saddened to hear of his firing. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 and was overwhelmed with anxiety and despair. Then I met Dr. Ghosh; he was such a humble, compassionate and caring man, but most of all he gave me hope. At each appointment he took the time to answer all of our questions and never once did he rush us.
When I was in the hospital after a chemotherapy treatment, he found the time in his busy schedule to visit me every night and on the weekend. Each time he reassured me things would be all right. Thanks to Dr. Ghosh and his wonderful staff for helping me through a very difficult time in my life.
We don't want to lose him; we need Dr. Ghosh.
