Dr. Alina Gouller Endocrinologist 317 East 17th St., 7th floor, New York, NY 10003 212-420-3917 agouller@chpnet.org. A reader writes: "Dr. Gouller is open to hearing about patient knowledge and questions regarding treatment. She took a very thorough medical history and asked very specific questions about my symptoms. She discussed her approach to my specific symptoms, and what alternative treatments she would try if her original approach was not working. Dr. Gouller also did a very thorough physical exam and ordered a range of blood tests to rule out possible anemia, low blood count, antibodies, etc. When I called her a few days later for test results, she came to the phone immediately and explained to me in detail the results and what they mean. She did not rush me off the phone and took the time to answer all of my questions." (Added 4/03)
