My oncologist, PA, and chemo nurses have been exceptional in listening to my concerns, answering my questions, and including me in decisionmaking. They clearly explain complex medical concepts. With all of that communication in the technical realm, their interpersonal skills are also top-notch.

My treatment plan was disrupted by changes in insurance authorizations. Throughout the process of obtaining re-authorizations, I was kept well informed, all staff was up to date on what the current status of authorizations was. The team at Tahoe Forest worked tirelessly to resolve the insurance issues and get my treatment plan back on track, and I am forever grateful for there efforts.

With regard to the care providers proficiency it is only my gut feeling. They are truly Good practitioners in this area. Cancer is new to me, so it's tough to give these answers but to this point I'm willing to take the chance and put my life in their hands. There's not much more I can say.
