Patient verified via Press Ganey

This was my initial consult with Dr. Yu and I met with him and several of his team. He explained clearly what he, and the other physicians who are caring are planning for my radiation oncology treatment. I'm afraid I may be been a bit foward in asking my own questions and I apologize for that. It was a very good experience.
