Two Questions:
To Dr. Kennedy: What do you consider most important in taking care of cancer patients?
“I want them to be totally confident that I am going to do everything in my power to cure them of their cancer.”
To Lyn Kelly, Colon Cancer Survivor: What did you find most important in the way you were cared for by Dr. Kennedy?
“I have known Dr. Kennedy since 1999. He operated on me for colon cancer and a number of other medical needs during these years. I’ve continued to go back to him even though I moved to Ringgold, Georgia, and it is quite a drive to see him. He takes good care of me and is always responsive to my needs. I am very happy with the care he provides. He helps me keep my spirits up when I am going through a hard time and I have peace of mind knowing that he will take care of me.” |
