The doctor definitely seems to know what she's doing, but doesn't do a good job communicating care for the patient. Didn't ask me how doing since the surgery or seem to indicate care that I had surgery or any really follow up about cardiac rehab. It felt like most questions I had were Responded with short mess and defensiveness.

Dr. Frech always makes me feel informed and heard. She listens to all of my questions and provides great feedback and answers. She also stays current on all things related to Scleroderma. I feel very confident In her ability to care for me now and In the future. I am so thankful she is on my team of providers. She's awesome!

I now live in Florida and have a cardiologist there. I Trust Dr Basher because she is very caring, thorough and proactive and I believe she provides outstanding cardiac care. I like the teamwork demonstrated between Dr Basher and Dr Ellis. Vanderbilt provides exceptional cardiac care.

Dr. Basher is an example of what physicians should be- attentive, personal, gives clear explanations and spells out choices.
