This will be my last oncology visit. I have been very well cared for both in my physical care snd emotional care.
Penelope Gibson is an excellent provider!
Very informative and empathetic. Felt very well cared for.
I had a student with my provider, and information about a new medication I was to have for an injection.
She explained everything thoroughly.
Penelope is amazing! You could not have anyone better. She is always so kind, knowledgeable, and understanding. It will be a sad day when she retires or moves on.
Penelope is great to work with-intelligent, a great listener and very compassionate. So grateful for her care.
I felt very happy with the new direction for my treatment. I was fully informed and really relieved that I can now try another drug. I feel like the team worked with my problem and there is a path forward.
I've never had a bad experience ever in Oncology!!!!
My care provider was a PA and I liked her as she was very kind and knowledgeable regarding any of my questions.
Dr. Gibson is very very thorough and did not rush me through the appointment as other medical providers have in the past. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Gibson and would not hesitate to recommend her to others.
She was great.
Penelope is one of those angels who can make a difficult medical situation easier to navigate. She is caring, thorough, and I have enjoyed working with her.
Very supportive.
Dr. Gibson was terrific. She showed interest in me and my health far beyond the cancer and the ramifications of the surgery and post-surgical care. I enjoyed time with her.
