As this was a follow-up visit, she mainly went over the labs and findings that her co-practitioners did and informed me that everything was healing and going as expected. She explained why she ran late and gave me the next steps to follow and scheduled my next visit with her.

In my experience, I believe I am receiving very good care. I am pleased with my doctor and her team. I am pleased with the support team I have had interactions with in the Cone Health Cancer Center. Everyone has been friendly, kind, and supportive. They have lesson my fears and anxiety about my cancer and treatment. I know I will be in good hands.
