I would highly recommend Dr. Hitzleburger. He is extremely knowledgeable and he truly does care about your journey through your cancer diagnosis. He is always very personable and funny and does his best to lighten the mood, and it works. I couldn’t imagine seeing any other Dr., I have so much faith in Dr. H. My life is literally in his hands, and I trust him with it. And that’s a heavy load for him to carry. But he does it with style and grace.
