I hope I never have reason to recommend Dr. Boreta, but if I knew of someone that needed an oncologist, I would highly recommend Dr. Boreta

She is so good! Dr. Boreta makes herself available quickly in times of need. She communicates with me, demonstrating warmth and quick perception of the depth I would like. She is very present, focused, and great at listening. I never feel rushed. She provides excellent treatment plans and answers my questions, right on point (and I can ask direct and difficult questions).
