Dr. Hussain and her oncology team are experienced and compassionate. You can tell she is a top expert in her field and wants to do the best for her patients. The whole team takes time to listen to my questions and answer them. They examine me and my test results and explain them to me. (Translate from medical terminology to everyday language.) They then choose the best course of recognized (by FDA and medical expert community and insurance) gold standard treatment and adjust as needed. While I am not cured of the cancer, they are pleased with the results of my treatment. They have explained how the course of my future care should generally unfold.
