This was my first visit with Dr. Coley. Dr. Kotz had been my oncologist prior to his leaving the facility last year. I was apprehensive about meeting with a new provider. Dr. Coley was very thorough and kind. He had to do a bit of research on one of my prior tests, he found the answers and came to see me while I was having my infusion. I took great comfort that he was concerned enough to research the matter and let me know the information he found.

Dr. Coley explained my pathology report in great detail. He spent a great deal of time with me answering questions.
