    I was in for my fourth 6-month post cancer screening. I have been meeting with Doctor Kevin Jones and his staff. This was my first meeting with Melissa. She was professional, concerned, and friendly in everything she said and did. She listened to me intently and patiently. She encouraged me to express my concerns. We viewed my CT scan and my MRI and she explained them in detail. She made it easy to understand.
