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!

Dr.Rexer is so good. I am very blessed to have him as my Medical Oncologist. He always listens to me. I never feel rushed. Honestly, I feel that he genuinely cares about me and that huge. So many people don't feel that from their Oncologist. My entire team of Vanderbilt Doctors are absolutely amazing.

Dr Rexer is an incredible oncologist. Patient with my questions. Thoroughly explained the situation and options. I don't agree with the protocol to not do brain scans, but all else was ok.
