    Dr. Boreta is truly an amazing option. She's extremely knowledgeable very caring takes the time to explain and share and allow you to speak and ask questions. These types of appointments are very sensitive and can be more on the traumatic side because you're dealing with such serious health things. But Dr. Boreta just makes it all feel so much better. I truly feel lucky that I am in her care

    Dr Boreta, and all other nurses, have gone above and beyond our expectations. Cancer is hard but all the nurses and Dr Boreta make it a point to get to know you

    This was my first meeting with Dr. Boreta and I liked her right away. She was caring and compassionate during a difficult time for me and my family, while being very informative. She was patient with our questions and concerns and showed true empathy.

    If I could give a higher rating for the care and compassion shown to me I would.

    Dr. Boreta met via Telehealth and conveyed some difficult information to my daughter and me. She offered to meet with us again and include more family members so that they could receive the information first-hand. She went above and beyond and was compassionate yet shared the difficult facts. Amazing that she has the gifts of her skills as a radiation oncologist, communication skills, and an excellent "bedside manner." So very thankful for Dr. Boreta.
