        Karen Hernandez far exceeds the very good status on the questionnaire. I would give her 100 stars for her expertise, for her bedside manner and for being so thorough. She is a model representative for cancer care. I would also like to add the nurse Colleen into that same category. I referred and referred and referred people to this facility and will continue to do so.
