In May of 2017, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My primary care physician highly recommended that I consider going to Dr. Shoba Kankipati for my oncology care. After my first visit, with my husband attending as well, we were both certain that this was the competent and compassionate oncologist to work with. She has now been managing my care for 2 and a half years, and impresses more and more each time I have a visit with her. Dr. Kankipati is an up to date and knowledgeable physician in terms of addressing any specific oncology needs, and in addition, she is incredibly thorough, diligent and organized in keeping apprised of all other medical, emotional, personal and lifestyle issues that affect me as her patient. She takes her time in each visit to make sure she has a wholistic picture of how her treatment recommendations and meds are impacting my life, and educating me in choices and info to always enhance my overall quality of life while treating the medical issues. This dedicated physician leaves nothing open to question and pursues clarification on any issues of question. She responds to all calls and communications in a timely fashion. With Dr. Kankipati's skill and compassion in giving honest and direct diagnostic information, educating, explaining all alternatives, developing a plan of care specific to my circumstances and then always following up with sincere interest and concern regarding how the plan is working, I cannot express how confident, encouraged and cared for I feel each time I leave her office or have communication with her. read more
