Outstanding expertise in her specialty. I have immense faith in her medical advice and decision making. She involves me in the decisions regarding my care. She consults with her peers to try to determine the best pathway to cure me when there is limited data to inform her of what path to choose. She is also open to novel and cutting edge methods of care.

Dr Dinner made the time required to thoroughly understand my condition and make recommendations for my AML treatment. I couldn't have asked for more. Because of the severity of my diagnosis she wouldn't let me leave my visit without first taking a blood test in order to verify that I was healthy enough to do so. She was ready to admit me to the hospital if my blood tests indicated that treatment was required immediately.
