I was so thankful that my doctor along with Dr Anderson were so quick to get this appointment set up. It was the first time our oncologist had ever done a tele-med appointment and we were both pleasantly surprised. Dr. Anderson was so helpful and had so much knowledge when speaking about best treatment options for my daughter's osteosarcoma. I definitely see why he is mentioned so much on the Facebook osteosarcoma group pages! i am so happy I decided to come to him for a second opinion. thank you as well the Cleveland clinic for offering this tele-med appointment so that people like me, who live in another state can still get an appointment in without having to travel.
