    Very good as a choice doesn't capture the empathy, expertise and patient-centeredness of Geoffrey Buckle - the choice should be "excellent".

    Dr Buckles is an ideal consulting doctor. We can ask questions in depth without feeling at all rushed, which is very appreciated.

    Dr. Buckle's concern for the patient's quality of life is so comforting and reassuring. He explains all options that might be available for my care/treatments without pushing any particular option but only helping me to understand the options available. I couldn't ask for a more caring, compassionate, or supportive doctor.

    The doctors were wonderful. They made me feel like I was their only patient. I could not have had a more competent team. I am confident under their excellent care plan. I am so very lucky to have them as my tumor team. I cannot thank them enough.

    Dr. Geoffrey Buckle gave me all the information I needed to make a decision about my care. He is an excellent oncologist.

    Dr. Buckle seems to care a lot about his patients, and goes out of his way to help them in non-medical issues. We are self-pay, and when we turned down the chemo infusion because of cost, he offered us the oral medication. That is also expensive, but he told us about Good Rx, and found a coupon for us that saves us thousands of dollars every session,
