            I was very happy with my care from Dr. Oettel. He explained things very well for me, answered a whole lot of questions because I had a lot of questions, very patient and seemed very knowledgeable. So I was all around happy with my experience with him as a doctor thus far.

            Everyone was so respectful and so much fun. My son was with me and we were both humbled by the group that met with us. Even tho my appt was about cancer, it was uplifting and informative of what lies ahead for me. I forgot how to spell the chemo Dr. name but his smile would warm anyone's heart. Dr Gold was also wonderful in the way he explained the radiation treatments. I feel I am in God's hands and he picked the perfect team for me. I will take this opportunity to thank all the team that met with us.
