John Tunnicliff SOPER MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - North Carolina Durham

When I was diagnosed in 2003 with invasive cervical cancer, my gynecologist told me iI had "very bad cancer" and I truly thought I was going to die at 46 years old. Fortunately, she referred me to Duke, where I met the man who saved my life: Dr. John Soper. He was brilliant, kind, professional, had a wonderful "bedside manner" and a great smile. Radical hysterectomy, (cancer in 4 lypmph nodes), chemo, radiation; Dr. Soper was there through it all...supportive, comforting, thorough, honest and most of all ENCOURAGING. He always told me what I needed to know and answered my questions without hesitation. He is no longer at Duke, so I will be seeing him in July 2007 at UNC Womens' Clinic. Dr. Soper is such an intelligent, phenomenal and caring doctor that for the first time in my entire life I don't dread visiting a doctor for a pap smear. I look forward to seeing Dr. Soper. He saved my life. I've met other women who believe they would have not survived cancer without him. I feel confident in saying Dr. Soper is the best gynecological oncology surgeon in the country. I strongly recommend Dr Soper to any woman with gynecological cancer of any type. He is absolutely brilliant and an incredible doctor!!

Dr. John Soper is my gyn/oncologist and has been since I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2002. He was with Duke Hospital when I had my hysterectomy but is now with the NC Womens Hospital. Dr. Soper is an amazing man. He is kind, friendly, has a sense of humor and he knows his stuff. I had complications and had to be resuscitated twice. Dr. Soper saved my life, plain and simple. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than I do this man. I respect him very much and I feel that he returns that respect. I never feel rushed when I see him and he comes in the exam room prepared, having read my chart beforehand. I can't say enough good about Dr. Soper. You won't go wrong with him.

Dr. John Soper is the man! He is with the University of North Carolina Health Care Center. He is a knowledgable and skilled gyn/oncologist who came highly recommended by the oncologist treating me for ovarian cancer. He is a friendly, cheerful man with an upbeat attitude and a sense of humor. We discuss my health concerns, he gives his prognosis and then follows-up with my oncologist. You may have to wait six months to get an appointment, but once you are in you get 100% of his attention.

Dr. Soper performed my hysterectomy after my diagosis of cervical cancer. Dr. Soper has wonderful, dry sense of humor and was able to make me laugh at every visit, and still does! He is gentle, truthful, honest, calming, and gifted. He tells it like it is. I owe him my life and am so lucky to have had him as my physician.
