Did an excellent job with my breast cancer surgery. However seemed insesantive toward me and my concerns. I had heard from serveral persons, including patients and doctors that he was an excellent surgeon, but it was as if my particular surgery was taking up time that he could be spending with other more serious cases. I had been diagnosed with precancerous cells to the breast. Had also had a more complex cancer a year before that. However both cancers were serious to me. He just gave me the impression that I was wasting his time, that anyone could do this surgery. Perhaps it's just his personality. At any rate, he did an excellent job on the surgery. Just made me feel a bit foolish for selecting him instead of someone else who had time to deal with such a minor surgery. I would still recommend him to others.

i have breast cancer. i have no health insurance. through the the JGBCC i have been granted medicaid coverage. an appointment was set up with this wonderful surgeon. that made me feel so much better. today i received a call letting me know that my appointment has been cancelled due to the fact that mr mcmasters does not accept medicaid. do you know what that does to me? do you really care about us dr? or is it all about getting paid? im am very disappointed in you and will let all that i encounter in the future know that you are not worthy. thank you for nothing.

The best thing to happen after doctors found my liver tumor, was a referral to Dr. McMasters. I am very aware that my life was in his hands and his team members. I can never say thanks enough for the quality of care I received.
