Dr Geyer and Nurse, Cory, embodied the best of medicine in through my son Hudson's fight with a brain tumor. Their compassionate communication and management of cutting edge treatments empowered us to make the best of a heart breaking situation. I give credit to the staff at Childrens' in Seattle for the cherished extra time we were able to spend with Hudson. The cares we received inspired me to go on to nursing school after our loss. I am now an Obstetrics and Medical/Surgical R.N. in our local facility, caring for laboring moms, thier infants, and a lifespan of surgical patients. The team went over and above the call of duty to be deeply instrumental in our treatment, continued healing as we "pay it forward".

Dr. Geyer was our son Aidan's Oncologist during his 2 1/2 year battle with DIPG. His knowledge and care of Aidan went above and beyond what was required of him. He managed to always be truthful and compassionate with the information and decisions that were given to us. We will never be able to thank him and his team enough for the care they gave to Aidan until the end. He will always be one of Aidan's Angels!

Dr. Geyer is awesome. He is very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable in his field. I am so glad to have had Dr. Geyer in my life. If it weren't for him, who know if I'd be here.
