Very compassionate. Listend to me n my son. Explained my tumor to me, the options of treatment. Took notes explaining the good n bad of different treatments. Diagram of the tumor. He showed me the CT scan of my lungs explaining what the scan was showing. Dr Tinquist is a phenomenal Dr. He put me at ease the best he could. He answered all of my questions and my sons.

[NAME] saw me first. I provided comments on previous page. Dr Tinquist offered me options and his honest opinion. I appreciate a sense of humor and am delighted to know apparently he does too. I found this kind doctor to be empathetic and I am so glad I was able to meet him. Cannot say enough good things about [NAME] and Dr. Tinquist. I forgot to mention [NAME] the nurse navigator and how helpful she was.
