Our experience with Dr. Warner was so great. She did a great job at not only talking to us, but she wrote down all of the important information regarding treatment, side effects and medication information as she was talking to us so that we could refer back to it and that was very helpful!

my hope is people I know won't have to go thru cancer, if so, I would recommend you. The doctor told me it was my decision to undergo chemo; in Az. it was the doctor telling me what to do.

Dr. Werner has been incredible from day one. She always makes me feel like she is there for just me while she is in the room, and not only medically, but also by taking time to have some personal conversation and interaction before I leave. Dr. Werner never makes me feel intimidated or fearful of asking questions - she is wonderful!
