Updated review: since it's been 2 years under treatment for lymphoma now, I have a good idea about this docs abilities. As a retired doc myself I'm picky. She is up on the latest research and is actually open to some of the alternative things to help you get through radiation treatment--which is her specialty; Radiation Oncology. She was the only doc who agreed to follow my research, a lower dose radiation, as the regular dosing would have crippled me for LIFE and I'm still surfer-girl active in my 70's. That was a NO-go. She listened, agreed, and we tried it. I went into remission but it returned and now I need something else to try and get it to DIE, as in KILL its stem cells. Stem cells don't die from chemo OR radiation and stem cells from cancer stay, and regenerate the damn cancer so it keeps coming back. I want to try some things to starve it, take away its metabolic FOOD, and try and starve it out and kill it. She has read up on this newer form of alternative complementary treatment, and is referring me on to other docs for other approaches besides radiation...and she LISTENED, really listened, shared her knowledge, was patient and went over scans in detail with me as a professional courtesy---and that is RARE today in overbooked offices!
She is young, knows her stuff, is open to complementary medicine, is KIND, and... what more could you ask for in a radiation oncologist?????
