I was impressed by the doctors honesty and compassion. She was very insightful and humble when she spoke of her inadequacy in how to respond to the “quiet” needs of this patient. I loved how 20 years later she realized how hearing her patient was the only need she was being asked to do. As a patient of Dr. Gorfinkle’s for the past 13 years or so, I can personally attest to to the fact that she a brilliant listener a
nd and an amazing family doctor. The skills she felt so inept of then are the very strengths she exemplifies today. I am one of the lucky ones to have such a caring physician taking care of my health care.Competing Interests: None declared.
