This precision medicine approach includes monoclonal antibodies and other biologic therapies administered by experienced oncology specialists.

Report
I was scheduled for a screening and had to wait several weeks to be seen. The day before my appointment I was called and told that the "doctor" had an emergency and I would have to reschedule. They promised to call me back to reschedule. I didn't hear from them for over a week, called them and was told there would not be any appointments available until the end of April. This level of unprofessionalism in a medical office quite frankly stunned me. I have never encountered this level of incompetance in any business let alone a medical practice. I have had to rescehedule with an office in Tucson. Think twice before scheduling with this office!

I have been a patient at Cochise oncology for over 12 years. A lot of staff turn overs since then and I am sorry to say that I have never been so disappointed with some of the staffs' services that are being provided to me this year. I can't rely on them like I used to and at times I get so frustrated because I can't get answers to questions concerning my health needs. I understand that there are a lot of patients other than myself but it would be nice if someone can give me feedbacks.
I always have to be the one calling and checking but to no avail. At this point I am seriously thinking of switching to another medical provider. One thing I can say though is Dr. Nettleton, you and some of your former staffs provided my late husband and I the best services and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Caring and compassionate staff. They are helping our Dad Harley with his treatments and he really needed a helping hand to make it work for his situation. The foundation stepped up and helped him to get the treatments to get well. Looking to see our Dad be healthy and happy once more. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
