How likely are you to recommend Dr. Vonfricken?
Recently went to BGH for lung biopsy. Ended up with collapsed lung and this is when Dr Vonfricken stepped in. I only met him at time of discharge, and he fully explained what was done. I wish I started out with him instead of the IDIOT that sent me for the biopsy in the first place.
