Having a rare peritoneal liposarcoma, Dr. Hawkins knew exactly what to do with my rare cancer and extreme tumor. I'm still under his care, and will be, to find and deal with any reoccurence. Straightforward and honest in diagnosis, Dr. Hawkins laid out the options for me, both positive and negative. Maybe one could say "brutally" honest, but that's what I needed. In secondary surgery ten months later, Dr. Hawkins continues to keep me on the road to a nearly miraculous recovery. Dr. Hawkins will give you the really honest diagnosis and is capable to deal with issues at a very high level of competence.
