Kristin Barber has always shown caring concern for not only myself, but for my husband too. She always clearly explains my situation, information on treatment, side effects, etc., and always takes the time to listen and answer questions. Going through cancer journeys can be intimidating and overwhelming at times, but I always feel more at ease after visiting with Kristin. She always demonstrates caring professionalism.
