Verified Patient Reviews

5 out of 5 stars

Dr Sinning was very compassionate and listened to my concerns. He offered a different medication for ongoing cancer protection. He is knowledgeable and provided answers to any questions I had. He helped to orchestrate my radiation in Plainville with Dr Mani to alleviate my traveling. I am appreciative of his efforts and responsiveness. It made my treatment and appointments much easier to manage.

Constantly recommending *Dr. Sinning to friends and neighbors. Just wish *Dr. Sinning would come back to Torrington. Plainville is bit of a drive. Especially in bad weather.
