Dr McMasters helped me feel comfortable and more calm about my cancer diagnosis than I had been in weeks. He sat with me and my family, took the time to go over my numbers/stats, and clearly explained his treatment plan. He made the experience a comfortable one during a scary time for me and I'm thankful for that.

I was hospitalized 9 days. My nursing care was always very good. Dr. McMasters or one of his associates checked on me daily. My condition did not really start to change until McMasters returned on the 6th day of my stay and he ordered new procedures that expedited recovery.
