Dr. Cigler is a very caring doctor. She asks important questions, such as whether as a patient I would want to do follow-up testing to determine if I had a gene which predisposed me or future generations to cancer. Dr. Cigler encouraged me to continue working although my oral chemo drug did make me tired. I was glad that I continued working full time at a demanding professional job for two additional years. I am now retiring and looking forward to expanding my horizons in other directions. I highly recommend Dr. Cigler as an excellent oncologist and a caring physician.

She is one of the rare doctors willing to consider that I am not like everyone else. (I am extremely sensitive to most medications.) And she changed her mind accordingly about how to approach my treatment. I'm grateful to have Dr Cigler care for me!
