    He came in and knew every detail of my case and care up until this point. He didn''t look at the computer screen once. He knew it. As a patient seeing a doctor have that kind of preparation was so reassuring. It was very clear he was not only a world class doctor but took my care very seriously. I''m so grateful he is on my oncology team.
