      Dr. Scott was quite knowledgeable about my lung cancer mutation and answered all my questions and gave me a wealth of information to share with my oncologist in Winchester. Her recommendations hopefully will be implemented, and she made it clear she is available for consultation with my oncologist in the future. I left the appointment with more hope and confidence.
