    I've been seeing Dr Soisson for 8+ years and have always felt like I was receiving excellent care. I've been very lucky as my cancer was found in the early stages. Dr Soisson has always seemed concerned about my well being. He is easy to talk to and answers in a way that makes sense. His staff are always pleasant to be around too.
