This was my first meeting with Dr. Rexer. I found him extremely personable and approachable. Dr. Rexer had a good understanding of my records that had been sent to him. He explained the different options that were available to me, going over the pros and cons, and I felt that I was made a part of the course of actions that was decided upon. Very, very pleased with the appointment overall!

Spent a good amt of time. I still felt today was an off day I left feeling like I needed to do my own further research based on ongoing treatment options and medications currently available. I feel there is some communication snafus between providers

Dr. Rexer walks into the room with calmness and looks at me and my caregivers with the message of I see you and will do my best to care for you. He relaxes into the chair and looks at me giving me time to speak. His level of knowledge is exemplary and he is able to communicate it effectively. I am extremely grateful Dr. Rexer was my oncologist for 5 years!
