I’m very grateful I have him as my doctor. He and his team are indescribably important people in my life
Dr Binkley is an excellent physician with an excellent bedside manner. He asks relevant questions and explains my condition and treatment in a clear understandable manner. He is thorough about explaining the current treatment and possible side effects. He is also looking to the future about further treatments including those provided by my oncologist /hematologist. He is very knowledgeable about my disease and the up to date current array of treatments outside of his radiation oncology specialty. I would recommend him highly to family or friends who are considering radiation therapy.
