As a medical oncologist, Rom Leidner, M.D., believes that every patient deserves honest communication and attentiveness. “Letting patients know what to expect in advance makes all the difference in getting through what are some of the most challenging treatments in medicine,” he says.
In his practice, Dr. Leidner strives to help each patient understand as much as possible about their cancer and its therapy, drawing on what he has learned through compassionate concern for other patients. “I have to do a lot of listening,” he says.
