    I must say that I was very impressed with the entire team and organization and Dr. Clancy. They answered all my questions. At times I had a difficult time at age [redacted] understanding Dr. Clancy. He spoke a little quickly, but when I asked him through, he politely repeated himself. So overall, the experience at that hospital was as good as you're going to get. I appreciate your care. Everyone did a great job. Thanks.

    [redacted] I had other questions and in need for more conversation as this was for a consultation so I would have a better sense of how to go forward with my diagnosis. I did get a somewhat different perspective from his analysis, and he is pursuing getting an older image to see if it may have some information that would impact my present situation. I thought this could be helpful. I would have liked the time to discuss more some of what I had learned through some research as compared to what he was telling me. It wasn't anything contrary. I just felt he was minimizing what I had read. However, I realize he is the one with experience. [redacted] Anyway, Dr. Clancy is a nice man and I am sure quite learned in his field. I just wish I had more time to talk with him [redacted]

    Dr. Clancy is excellent. Best doctor I've seen in years. Was thorough and showed results on his computer screen. So it was easy to understand. This doctor is probably the best in his field. You know that with his depth of knowledge. Cannot recommend anyone higher.

    I was overwhelmed walking into this visit, and Dr. Clancy put me completely at ease. He offered options that were easy to understand, and he took great care to explain my condition and the proposed plan of care. He made sure I understood everything. I was so impressed at how prepared he was for my visit, and they he had reviewed my imaging. He was kind and thoughtful, and he allowed plenty of time for questions. He also told me how to reach him, what to expect for follow up, and just made a very difficult diagnosis and day far more manageable than I ever thought it could be.

    Dr Clancy and staff were prompt, courteous and professional. Everyone was prepared for my visit, having reviewed all tests, images, and reports from prior procedures. The most impressive part has been the follow up since the appointment; I heard from schedulers, other specialist to whom I had been referred and I'm aging facilities almost immediately following the visit with Dr. Clancy. I appreciate how all these different partners are working together, efficiently, and quickly to move my case forward

    I found Dr. Clancy to be very thorough in answering all of the questions that I had and concerns, citing specific research and up-to-date studying of the trends given the nature of why I was seeing him. So that was reassuring and he was a second opinion for me and I'm just grateful that I was able to get in and he is one of the folks in the region that are known for or dealing with the type of diagnosis that I'm looking at. Again, grateful for it. Found his discussions of research material and outcomes and potential treatment and surveillance recommendations to be thorough. Thank you.

    In the 2+ years since my major abdominal surgery occurred, Dr. Clancy has been readily available to see me or respond to any questions I might have about my health. In this particular visit, as is always the case, Dr. Clancy took the time necessary to explain the results of a recent MRI and to assure me that all is well. He is always patient, empathetic, and willing to take the time necessary to ensure my confidence in my own health.

    Dr. Clancy was extremely interested in my health and he went overboard to get back to me to coordinate the one test that we did have. He actually called me at home three different times to bring me up to date as to what was going on. He's an extremely caring and qualified individual and you were really lucky to have him. He's great.
