Dr. Fancher & team are all fantastic. Extremely empathetic and listen to my concerns w/previous and potential future breast cancer. She helped to move up an ultrasound to determine if a lump is cancerous. On my own, next available ultrasound date was too far away. It was also difficult to communicate with and get a date from your outsourced appointment schedulers. Please go back to in-house appointment scheduling.

Dr. Fancher is a wonderful and caring doctor. This visit was for a 6 month follow up for my cancer surgery. She is very knowledgable and makes me feel heard. She took her time with me, she really listens and I did not feel rushed at all. She explains things very well and in a caring way. When I was first diagnosed 6 months ago she made time and got me in to see her right away and I had never seen her before. This was a terrifying time and the fact they called me back to get me in and to all my pre surgery appointments and surgery fast as well made me so very grateful.
