Dr Alese was first and foremost, very prepared for my appointment. Even thought he had thoroughly reviewed my file, he invited me to recap my perception of my diagnosis. He is a great listener! One of the best Dr consults I've ever had. He explored and shared with me the potential for a KRAS mutation that I have, and the possibility of perhaps getting in a clinical trial.

Dr Alese is the very best and I am so grateful that I am going through this journey with him and his team. He listens to me and my concerns and always puts my mind at ease. He has worked with me with my schedule and my travels to make it seamless as I go through my treatments. I trust him and his team and he is always an email or phone call away if I really need to speak with him. Even when he wears his mask, I can see the smile on his face and his kindness and caring show through.
