Dr. Hinchcliff receding my expectations and they were already high, from reading others reviews! She was extremely compassionate and her expertise and excellence shines throughout the entire visit! She explained everything in depth and answered all of my questions! I feel so at peace with her as my oncologist and surgeon during this difficult time. Her staff was so kind also!

Emily is a very smart doctor and believe she will provide me with a good care plan. One item of input: it would be helpful to experience a bit more positivity when engaging with her. Hope and medical promises are two different things. Numbers are important yes, and should be shared. However, seeing the positive and encouraging the fight are just as important for a patient.
