Now that it is three years after my ASCT, I only see Dr. Imus once a year, and I look forward to those visits with great delight. He is very thoughtful, knowledgeable, and caring, and always takes whatever time is needed to carefully answer all of my questions and discuss my ongoing treatment plan with advice of things to watch for that might indicate a change. He is also available by message to advise me or my local provider of suggestions for treatment and interpretation of lab results, and is always very gracious and thoughtful.
