Visited Dr. Marshall in response to my current Oncologist's desire for second opinion concerning care he is providing. Dr. Marshall had received necessary data from current provider and basically validated current care. Dr. Marshall forwarded timely observation to my Oncologist. Satisfied with Dr. Marshall's manner and discussion, would recommend her to others.
