    Allison Schlenger and the entire IMCC team are excellent. I always feel heard and listened to. They are open to your opinions and concerns particularly as it relates to geriatric care. I wish the other specialties at Emory shared the insights ti the challenges associated with caring for the eldery and would be more accommodating to this group. Emory needs to do a better job.
