I wish she were my doctor here in Virginia Beach! Of course I'm not blind to the reality of my illness, but Dr. Cavalcante manages to show compassion, is well-informed about my bloodwork and scans, encourages celebration of milestones, all while displaying a high degree of competence in her field.…

“This has been a very up and down...”
This has been a very up and down time for me. Through every curve ball and exception they kept me very well informed! Even as far as calling me just to give me an update because things were taking to long..........nothing happened and they wanted me to know instead of just sitting and worrying. I'm not just under their care when im sitting in the room, I could be halfway around the country but if there's something I need to know they'll tell me!

Dr. on Cavalcante's focus was directed entirely my condition and possible treatments should my cancer return. Interventions and time frames i.e. chest cat scans & MRIS were explained. My questions and the questions of my wife and daughter were addresses clearly. This initial consultation was received very favorably by me and my family members. I look forward to future encounters.
