She specializes in colorectal and works out of Hopkins, but she also works out of Sibley in DC so if you do try to see her and can't get in at JH, try Sibley and then you can continue seeing her at JH.
I have a friend who is good buddies w/ a lot of Hopkins Docs. I asked him to ask them who'd they'd see if they were the cancer patient. Several have said they'd see Dr. Azad. So, I may have to check her out.
My meeting w/ Browner was very underwhelming. She was in the room but that's about it. She let her fellow, Dr. Shaikh, do all the talking. I really liked Dr. Shaikh. She asked lots of questions and wanted to know all the symptoms and steps that lead up to that appointment. All good stuff. Browner though was just on a chair keeping quiet. I got her to answer a question or two but she didn't bother to volunteer any information or ask me any questions. I'm going to go out on a limb and try to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she was testing out Shaikh. We'll see how she does at my follow up appointment on 9/1.
Other than than I've just finished up round 11/30 of the radiation. Alls well so far except for some intestinal grumbling and I can not longer trust that a fart is just a fart.
