Christine Picaerello PA was excellent at explaining Ct findings, presenting plan of care and rationale. She was also a phenomenal listener and very compassionate.

I can't say enough good things about Christina. She exceeded all expectations and is the definition of excellence. From start to finish, she explained everything regarding the thoracentesis procedure and what to expect. Her bedside manner is something to be emulated. I've been calling her an earth angel since my visit with her.

Dr Christina is the BESY doctor I've ever had. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, and most of all caring! She cares about me and my health. She explains my scans to me and what everything means. Not just that, she talks about what's next and what options I have. She say you let ME worry about this, not you! I trust her with my health and I pray she never leaves. A true gem

Christina is one of my favorite people at Vandy. She really takes the time to explain everything about my options and procedures. She has gone out of her way to check in on me and come in even on a day she's not scheduled to work just to take care of me. She listens and truly cares for my well-being- physical and emotional, not to mention that she is great at what she does. I truly appreciate her kindness and support throughout my cancer journey.

The attending doctor felt it was important to have another doctor to look at scan before telling me about the cancer and how it was best to proceed.
