    Dr Soares cares about you individually. Not just about your Neuroendocrine Cancer. She also includes other specialties to help you have a better outcome. She works with my Nephrologist and Endocrinologist to make sure I can be as healthy as possible during my Cancer journey. She is good at Neuroendocrine Cancer and I wouldn't go to anyone else.
