Dr. Hitchcock is truly admirable. She patiently explained to us about my conditions and laid out the various treatment plans, including the pro-cons and possible side-effects for each of them. During the process of the radiation treatment, she monitored my progress very closely and was always encouraging. I really appreciate her commitment to providing the best experience I could have imagined. Her team also showed exceptional kindness and professionalism.
