Testimonial: Tongue Cancer Story

As a wife and mom to young children—and a survivor of tongue cancer 15 years ago—I knew exactly what was at stake when my cancer returned. I wasn’t willing to settle for anything less than the best. After extensive research into both local and out-of-state options, I contacted Dr. St. John's office for a consultation.

With every interaction, Dr. St. John has embodied grace, kindness, and even a sense of humor. I cannot thank her and her incredible team enough for the outstanding care I’ve received.

From my very first phone call with her scheduling team to the moment I met Dr. St. John and her staff in person, I felt truly seen and heard—something that is absolutely essential when choosing a provider. Dr. St. John carried the confidence of a world-renowned surgeon, yet she paired it with genuine empathy and compassion. She took the time to patiently answer every question I had leading up to my surgery.

After the procedure, Dr. St. John went above and beyond by visiting me in my hospital room. She even posed for a picture with me and the stuffed animal I brought along for my children— who were back home in another state—so they could feel a part of my journey. That thoughtful gesture meant more to my family than words can express.

With every interaction, Dr. St. John has embodied grace, kindness, and even a sense of humor. I cannot thank her and her incredible team enough for the outstanding care I’ve received.

Thank you, K.M
