Dr. Rexer is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. His knowledge of breast cancer makes me feel comfortable in taking his advice. He was in no hurry and answered my questions in an honest and direct way. He is the best! We need more doctors like him.

Dr Rexer is the best. He's been my oncologist for over 6 years. We thought it was gone, but since it's metastatic, even with staffing shortages, he had made sure I have everything that I need. He takes time to answer all questions at the appointments and by MyHeath messages. Since it came back, and test results were ambiguous, he focuses my care on living, vs analysis. He is caring, gentle, patient.
