"Danny and I would like to give a big thank you to Dr. Hodskins. He has been Danny's cancer doctor for over a year now. Danny has been through a lot over the past year and is still going through a lot with different health issues including cancer. I have never seen a Doctor who shows as much compassion and caring as he does. I am sure the other cancer doctor's are very good too, but I am thankful and grateful that we were blessed to have him on Danny's case. Thanks so much." - Mr. and Mrs. Danny W.

"Dr. Hodskins. Well I do not know where to begin. He is one of the most caring professionals I have ever meet. He has shown me that there are people in his field that care. Each visit when I exit him I say please don't give up on me. His answer is I will not. I am fighting a battle in my health. And he is fighting the battle to help me. If for some reason they would say you cannot see him anymore I truly believe that I would just give up. Until only recent I had never been to see many doctors. But I truly thank God each and every day for him. And I sincerely believe if there were more people in his field that cared the way he does then the medical field would be far greater. I believe in you Dr. Hodskins. Trust and admire you and give thanks each day that you are my doctor. May God bless you and your sincere efforts. I love you for being you." - Bruce

"My family and I thank you for your immediate and life-saving treatment of my stage-four lung cancer. I doubt that I would be alive today if you had not reacted in such a pro-active and aggressive manner and started treating the cancer right away. Two years later and I am cancer-free. I continue under your care today and am confident that you will always look after me." - Sarah
