  • "I've always said that throughout my 2 1/2 year journey to date, I've been blessed with the most experienced and caring medical team led by Dr. Avi Retter that any patient would envy. They make my appointments - whether clinical or for chemo so much easier n fun(ironic, huh?). Though am going through tough times, their compassion, love and pleasantness have made the journey and the load much more bearable. They are family and even my children know all about them even though they reside in Ghana. They are simply the best!!!!!!"
