I would like to reiterate how Impressed we have been with Dr Cmelak. Being a patient with a new cancer diagnosis Is obviously very concerning and he has always made myself and my wife very comfortable In asking questions and discussing my treatment. He has taken the time to listen and shows genuine Interest in me. You might not hear this frequently in surveys but honestly I look forward to my visits with Dr. Cmelak not only for the Information and support he provides but also because of the positive way he presents himself. I feel better when he walks in the room and when we get to speak with him.
