Dr. Fansher literally saved my life by removing my breast cancer tumor in October, and this visit a few days ago was another surgery follow-up. I'm so grateful to have had her as my surgeon!

Dr. Fancher is very pleasant and knowledgeable. The way she explained the diagnosis and treatment plan are very clear and easy to understand especially to my daughter who is a minor. She is directly talking to her and to us, parents. She is a great physician, she made us feel as a person and not just a "list to be seen".
