    Dr. Mary Wilkinson is by far the best Oncologist at Hopkins and the world! During the scariest and slickest time of my life, she was a source of excellent medical treatment, knowledge in the field, calmness, and reassurance. She provided the best possible medical advice and presented it all with a wonderful bedside manner. I am thankful for her service at JHH and to me over the past 6 years. No one wants breast cancer. But if you have to go through it, Dr. Mary Wilkinson is the oncologist you want!!!
