“I cannot believe how impressive ...”
I cannot believe how impressive Dr. Istl is. Not only is she a top surgical oncologist, but she is so much more. Dr. Istl has an old school "bedside manner". She has deep empathy for my situation and I never felt like just a "patient". She is great at communication and that relieves any anxiety I have. I have never seen her have anything but the utmost respect for everyone around her. It is truly a gift to have her as my doctor.

“The care I receive from Dr Istl ...”
The care I receive from Dr Istl is outstanding. Her knowledge is just so impressive and she can explain everything to me in terms that make my situation totally clear. She goes over all the information, makes sure I understand it, and we discuss my future care. It is so refreshing to have a discussion, rather than just be talked to. It is very important to me to be comfortable with my care and I always feel that with Dr Istl. I am very lucky to have her as my doctor.

“The care I receive from Dr Istl ...”
The care I receive from Dr Istl is nothing short of fantastic. She not only explains my situation in a way I can understand, but she also listens to, and fully answers, my questions and concerns. She makes me feel like I am a part of the care plan. I could not feel more comfortable with the care I receive and I know I am in good hands.
