    Dr. Tillman was very informative and knowledgeable. Dr. Tillman explained the options for after surgery care with compassion and clarity. I was confident that Dr. Tillman would provide the best care needed to minimize future cancer occurrence. Thank you.

    I believe that Dr. Tillman exemplifies the best that medicine has to offer. She exuded competence and warmth during my radiation treatment for breast cancer, whether it involved proactively explaining the intricacies of the treatment process or responding to my inquiries in a caring and in-depth manner. I always valued meeting with her on a weekly basis during my treatment. When family and friends queried me about how I was responding to the treatment, my responses were always positive, largely due to the way Dr. Tillman and her staff conducted my treatment process.

    Dr. Tillman is a wonderful doctor. I had her for 10 years. Terrific, compassionate, knowledge, very caring, and would take time to listen. I couldn't have had a better radiation doctor. Thank you. That's it, I guess.
