Highly professional and very personable.

6 mo. Follow up; diag. w/metastatic mela. 2016; Immutherapy treatment destroyed my colon; iliestomy done; have heavy ostomy output which can occur any time, which affects me 24/7; D. Skelton pleased w/my weight maint., appearance & attitude so putting off CT Scan til decide @ next visit - also because of my financial concerns; Soc. Sec. ONLY income; very stressful; he has been very comforting in advising me w/related matters & side effects incl. rashes, heavy ostomy output & other worrisome things. I rely on him a great deal, unlike Dr. Vaughn, orig. dr., whom I grew to dislike totally because of her "cheerleader" attitude & lack of accurate info./advice re my cancer, so very important to have someone I can trust totally.

Dr Skelton and Staff are knowledgeable, caring, and efficient.

Dr. Skelton is a knowledgable, thoughtful and compassionate physician who always has time for questions and will provide an in-depth answer. He is current and well read in his field and has provided good advice for the management of my cancer.

I have had 2 appointments with Dr. Skelton. During both appointments, he took the time to break down each part of my diagnosis and then did the same for my future treatments. Very personable and professional. I am very confident with my health and future care in his hands.

Very good and he explained things very well

Dr. Skelton listens to my concerns. He is very empathetic. He also has a great sense of humor, which is a great asset in dealing with cancer, I believe.

Dr. Skelton was , as always, a very caring and friendly professional. I would trust him quite literally with my life. And I speak very highly of him every chance I have. Would recommend him, absolutely.

Dr Skeleton is so caring and compassionate towards Mom and our whole Family! Thank you so much for all your care! The staff at BRCC is amazing!

Dr. Skelton has been my primary physician for a hematology issue involving anemia. I was treated several times with infusions of iron, ferritin and blood products to improve my iron and hemoglobin counts. Low ferritin was a big issue, also. Dr. Skelton was very thorough in his treatments and sessions to review my progress. He is very easy to talk with, gives the time needed to answer questions and provide treatment alternatives. I am much better now having seen him. I highly recommend Dr. Skelton for any hematology or oncology concerns. He is a fine doctor and a good guy.

Very caring doctor. He spends all the time needed to help his patients understand treatments and answers all questions.

Latest visit was as pleasant as it could be considering. Dr. Skelton is informative, answering any questions I may have had. An all around good guy and a great doctor.

He is always attentive when listening to your questions and gives answers in easy to understand terms. I have been very happy with my visits with him and his PA.

I was referred by my primary physician and the experience was very pleasant. Dr. Skelton and staff were all personable and professional. Explanation of my issues were clear and concise. I appreciated the care and attention given.

Dr. Skelton with Blue Ridge Cancer Care is I always say, “My Angel on Earth.” Dr.Skelton is compassionate, caring and the absolute best doctor I have ever known. I truly believe he saved my life! The staff at Blue Ridge Cancer Care are all TOP NOTCH! You will not find a better team anywhere else. They care about you!

The outstanding qualities of Dr. Skelton are in the highest regard in my health care,

Dr Skelton has been an incredible doctor from the very beginning of my cancer journey. He is patient, kind, loving and extremely knowledgeable. When I ended up in the hospital for an emergency situation he coordinated quickly and efficiently with my husband in order to provide me with the best care. He is truly the best of the best!!

MD is very empathetic, knows my history well. He has taught me a lot about my health

WAITING TIME IS REASONABLE AND HE HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL

After going to several doctors and not receiving any help, I told Dr. Skelton my problem. After taking time to listen to my symptoms, he gave me the help I needed. Dr. Skelton has been my doctor for almost ten years and you could not want a doctor more compassionate and caring. He is genuinely interested in each patient.

Dr.Skelton has always made me feel very comfortable about my situation and that I wasn't alone in this, I knew the moment I listened to him about my treatment plan that everyone was involved in from the time I was diagnosed with melanoma that I was in good hands, he and his staff have a kindness and warmth that only comes from professionals who have dedicated their lives to helping others fight to beat this terrible disease, this is not a job to him, it's a passion to help all people who get stricken with this silent killer,I'm grateful to him for all he's done for me

As always, Great visit with Dr Skelton.

Wonderful doctor..upbeat, compassionate, smart, everything you want in a doctor.

An excellent doctor in all phases of his profession.

I find Dr. Skelton very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. I had an opportunity to switch my cancer care to the VA which would have been simpler but I chose to remain Dr. Skelton's patient because of my confidence in his medical practice.

My Brother was a patient of Dr Skelton. He loved seeing and talking with Dr Skelton, he always wanted to hear Dr Skelton opinions on anything that was going on with his health.He trusted Dr Skelton to tell him his opinion and they always discussed the pros and cons according to any the decisions that had to be made. I went with him before COVID hit the area, and Dr Skelton was always nice and had the best bedside manners.Even on a bad day Dr Skelton could bring a smile to my brothers face. I would recommend Dr Skelton to anyone to anyone family or freind or stranger. Dr Skelton treats his patients as if they were a part of his family and you don’t see that much any offices anymore.

Dr. Skelton is the most caring doctor I've ever met. He is also well informed about oncology options. He takes the time to both listen to my issues, and to explain in detail I can understand when I need feedback and options. I trust him implicitly. He also respects my priorities.

Very personable and good at being direct tactfully.

easy to complete..... great Doctor, listens.....

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Skelton to anyone. He is compassionate and caring, and wants whats best for his parents. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Skelton as my physician.

Dr. Skelton is an excellent oncologist. Not only is he knowledgeable in his field, he is truly compassionate and caring. During our visits, he has taken the time to listen to my concerns and answer any questions I had. I have no hesitation whatsoever in highly recommending him.

Dr. Skelton and his staff are all incredible. They're an integral part of the team that treated my neck and throat cancer. It's been over a year and I'm still cancer free. Dr. Skelton and his staff are caring, compassionate and committed to your care. If you are unfortunate and contract cancer, I hope you're fortunate enough to have Dr. Skelton in your corner. I recommend him without a doubt.

Absolutely would recommend. He is very compassionate, factual and treated me as though I was his only patient on that day. When I was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, he immediately admitted me to hospital and further tests began that day and then chemo two days later. I was given meds and blood to build my body up from an anemic state. I could not have asked for a more thorough and rapid treatment regime. I would recommend Dr. Skelton to anyone!

Dr. Skelton is terrific. He has a great bedside manner, and he talks to his patients and not at them. He is wonderful.

Good man, always pushes for the best for you, but while listening to your wishes. As a patient 16 yr, 4 cancers later, he is a good doctor. Dr. Skelton has been for me, very open to my needs and wants on care. He truly cares, takes his time and tolerant of your wishes. He has HOPE....all you really need.

Office staff friendly, appointment completed in timely manner..Lab work available without long wait time. Had seen my chart, knew history

Skelton took my case when another DR. retired. He has been very pleasant and attentive during my semi-yearly treks to Lowmoor, now that I am in remission from Lymphoma>

Dr Skelton is a compassionate provider. He meets you with all of your options. Is knowledgeable and explains the benefits and risks of all. He listens to your thoughts and concerns. He allows you to make your own decisions regarding treatments.

Dr. Skelton was very friendly and perfectional. He was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that you could understand what he was saying. A very likeable man. I would recommend him to anyone who had cancer.

I don't think there is any doubt Dr. Skelton knows his medicine; however he seems quite unavailable almost to the point of questionable negligence. If you have a complication from the chemotherapy (and you likely will) he does not even act as if he is your oncologist. Steer clear of him because (believe me) he WILL steer clear of you!

He is distant,and cold especially when the patient on his last leg. He heavily relies on his nurse practioner and other nurses including many in transition to care for his patients and with very little management to the patient's detriment.

Dr. Skelton has from the very first time I saw him has been a warm, welcoming doctor that is happy to answer questions and take concerns seriously. He greets you with a smile. His bedside manner is spectacular and you do not feel rushed, a hard thing to find with doctors these days. One thing I love about Dr. Skelton is that when he needs to be sure about a decision, he consults other doctors within his practice and those outside of it.
