Doctor didn't review my scans beforehand, forgot what I had been diagnosed with and I had to remind him (he missed an entire tumor recovery area). MRI noted something in the scan that he didn't acknowledge. I am going elsewhere for a second opinion on the matter.

Dr. Colman and Sean Strope are both amazing. They made sure we understood what we discussed, were straight forward when answering our questions, and ensured that they did everything they could to help us in this process. Dr. Colman even took the time to come back in to our room after we were done talking to tell us that about a pathology result that came back during our visit, which I think many other doctors would have just waited to do until our next visit! This result was something that indicated the tumor will be more responsive to treatment and gave us peace of mind, so the fact that he cared enough to take his time and come back in was amazing.

It is apparent that Dr. Colman and Sean Strope are both very knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. They take every question seriously and never make me feel rushed. I especially appreciate the fact that I am shown all of the MRI imaging so that I can see for myself what we are dealing with. I also appreciate how thorough the explanations are of the tumor board discussions and appreciate the lengths to which everyone at Huntsman goes to collaborate and provide the highest standard of care.
