Patient Reviews
Jun 20, 2018
Dr. Ruth Atkinson is one of the best of the best Hematology and Oncology physicians that I know. Dr. Atkinson was my mother's oncologist for many years. My mother Clara Mae Steele was diagnosed with stage 4 Breast Cancer in the early 90's. Prognosis did not look good as we expected. Dr. Atkinson explained to us professionally what to expect and she also gave us spiritual hope. Life expectancy was 3 months according to past patients. My mother lived 4 good years. Thank you God & Dr. Atkinson!
