Dr. Gaughan, and all of her team, are the PERFECT PROVIDERS of Oncoloical health care. They are very bright and knowledgeable, as one might expect. BUT they are also personable and very, very good natured, as one might hope for. UVa is blessed to have professionals who I can describe this way. (I would not hesitate to say otherwise if I felt so!)
