Where did you find Dr. Hale? His bed-side manner/office explanation should be video-taped and shown in every Medical School! I took pages of notes and learned a great deal about Radiation Oncology. He relieved any concerns I had. His gentle, respectful, encouraging manner took my breath away!

Dr. Hale is one of the best doctors at Riverside if not the best. I trust him 100. He's very knowledgeable and listens to the patient. He cares about the patient individually unlike other providers that I've had.
