Dr.Scott is the best oncologist I could hope for. In earlier stages of my disease, she was incredibly patient and took all the time I and my daughter needed to understand my treatment options. She was also supportive of the decisions I made, even though she probably preferred I that I start adjuvant therapy post surgery.
