Doctor provided refresh on radiation education and also reviewed consent form with me. Dr Gatcombe showed concern for my questions, gave good explanations about my condition and planned treatment, included my feedback in decisions about my care, and discussed treatment options. I would happily recommend this Doctor to others.

Dr GATCOMBE is very much compassionate. My sense is she really cares about her patients. I feel comfortable with her and believe I am in good hands under her care.One of Dr GATCOMBE's nurses took the time to listen to me and share a little about her personal experience. It was helpful and it showed her to be human just like me.
