Dr. Sinard explained his conclusions from the path report and CT scans, indicated the options, described in considerable detail the surgical procedure he proposed, its potential benefits and risks, and strongly advised me to see Dr. Murphy of ENT medical oncology before making any decision about what I wanted to be done. He inspired confidence in his experience and judgement and projected a feeling of warmth and concern.

Dr. Sinard always takes the time to explain my current status regarding my cancer recovery. I appreciate that he directly answers all my questions with more than it will be alright and provides details about what I can expect and what I should be aware of. The team Vanderbilt has assembled to help me in my treatment is excellent, and Dr. Sinard has been top-notch in every regard.

Both doctors were compassionate, caring and engaged with me the entire time. As stated previously, he did what he could do without having my records. I would highly use either one again,
