This doctor presents to me as being unempathetic and uninterested in my concerns. I felt he berated me.

Dr. Fanta was my oncologist for my pancreatic cancer and followup chemo treatment. He is very personable and knowledgeable. He made me feel at ease which helped me to maintain a positive attitude. Today I'm living cancer free.

This doctor is very cheerful and informative. He is a talker - he does not listen or ask questions; he comes in the room ready to tell you what he wants to tell you. I prefer doctors that observe and listen. He runs a good hour late, so you always feel rushed, even though he is kind and cheerful.
