    I can only say good things about all of my Virtua doctors. They all have provided me with excellent care and this experience was no different. I truly felt that my best interests were taken into account.

    Dr. Boris came in for less than two minutes after the PA, [REDACTED], had already taken care of everything with me. Dr. Boris proceeded to tell me that, oh, it's not that bad, and I expected to have to do dressings, and a woman your size needs to shower every day. I was very insulted and very distressed and very glad that he was not my regular doctor. Dr. [REDACTED], and [REDACTED] are phenomenal, but I will not see Dr. Boris again.
