I'm really excited to have Dr. Crystal Fancher as part of my medical care team. Being diagnosed with cancer is scary but having doctors that instill confidence and warmth and leave you feeling good about the journey ahead is incredible. Super grateful to have been refereed to her via both my PCP and from my Hysterectomy surgeon/gyno.

Dr. Fancher was excellent at explaining what was going to happen, my options, her recommendations and answered all my questions. She was able to move up a biopsy appt and called to help get my genetic testing done easily. I was very impressed with the appointment which is how I chose her.
