FROM DR. GIBSON

“Every cancer has its own personality and just because it might fit under a label, that doesn’t always tell you with perfect certainty how it’s going to behave over time. That’s why we study it carefully to try to predict it’s behavior. Then, it requires aggressive treatment and a lot of long-term follow-up in order to get to know the personality of that cancer and try to tailor treatment to it specifically.”

PATIENT FEEDBACK
  • “Being diagnosed with breast cancer is scary and comes with a lot of questions. He gave me all of the time I needed! I brought a breast cancer survivor with me and he was patient with her questions as well!!!”
  • “Dr Gibson explained my breast cancer diagnosis so that my husband and I totally understood what was going on and the plans going forward. Was referred to Dr Gibson by my plastic surgeon who couldn’t speak highly enough of his capabilities.”
  • “Dr. Gibson and his team were always supportive of me in my journey with breast cancer. I will always be grateful.”
  • Dr. Gibson always made me feel that he was there to guide me through my breast cancer fight. The fact that he met with my other doctors and planned the best options for me in my cancer journey was very comforting and helpful. Very supportive.
  • “Dr. Gibson provided the very best care available in East Tennessee! He was highly recommended by my PCP and others.”
  • I can’t begin to express my gratitude to Dr. Gibson and his team. He made me and my family feel that we were in the very best hands from the moment our horrific journey began. His patience, empathy, skill, kindness, expertise and confidence was so very reassuring. He was the anchor for my family during the most stressful, scary times of our lives.
  • Dr. Gibson was great! He made me feel very comfortable and explained everything to us about my diagnosis and surgery. Felt very at ease during my visits.
