Dr Sachelarie was patient with me and explained my treatments clearly. She took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions as well as questions that my husband had. She is calm and caring which in turn put my anxiety at ease allowing me to absorb information and process it more clearly. I now feel confident that I am making informed decisions and correct choices in my cancer treatment. I would highly recommend Dr Sachelarie to anyone.
