    While very nice and kind, Dr Irwin was visibly flustered and not fully attentive. It felt as though she had done no pre-planning for the appointment and wasn't aware of waht we were there for. I am hoping that future visits will show that she was just perhaps not at her best for this appointment

    The Dr, was polite and she took time to listen to me and my daughter in law. She explained what was going on and when would things be going on

    Doctor Irwin was exceptional in reviewing previous history and current complaints. Spent a great deal of time covering every item I mentioned including several areas I indicated were previously reported.

    Dr. Blair is a fantastic oncologist! She is an active listener & asks pertinent questions regarding my replies. She also provides several plans based upon my specific needs.

    Dr. Irwin did a great job outlining treatment options and going over my diagnosis in detail. I appreciate having the details in writing to take home and be able to reference at a later date.

    Listened to all. Shared about other things going on too, and gave me a referral to another specialist for numbness in leg and toes that has been ongoing despite PT, which I really appreciated!
