    Dr. Sayre explains things very well and he answers my questions right away. He listens to everything I want or need to say to him.

    I really am not knowledgeable of others conflicted with any type of cancer

    I have much trouble communicating NOT with the doctor with his helpers. Left couple of voice mail requesting understanding for his IT treatment. My husband requires much help he has half body paralyzed. No response to address the handling of a new treatment

    My doctor explains things and lets me know what future medications will probably be and the amount of time I will probably be taking those medications.

    Did not come to the call with information previously discussed. Therefore recollection was inaccurate. Drs. Responded didnt March with what he previously said. Leaving us dumbfounded as to why he previously led us in a different direction.
