Dr. Hale is World Class! His expertise and stellar bedside manner puts you at ease. His explanation skills are exemplary. I have told him numerous times that he would have made an excellent professor, but I am very thankful that he is my physician.

Dr. Hale showed concern about my issue and talked at length about my options for treatment. He included me in all the decisions and made sure I understood all the pros and cons. Once we decided on the course of treatment, he initiated the preliminary steps immediately so treatment could begin asap.

Dr Hale is like no other. The human compassion and genuine care is felt just by conversation with him. Riverside is so lucky to have such a kind, intelligent and caring doctor. You simply couldn't have a better human being in the role he is in. Cancer care is so delicate and Dr. Hale handles that role with grace. Thank you for such a wonderful visit!
