Everyone I had here was amazing, from the radiologist department to the chemo department. My radiologist team made me smile every single day for 28 days, they really are the best (Page, Brittany, Emily, Katie, Andrew and last but not least Ricky). I've been showed nothing but kindness from my first treatment to my last treatment.

Wish I would have taken my wife elsewhere, always have to call for test results, Then hear Doctor hasn't reviewed them yet! Seems like $$ is more important than people's lives!

Very dysfunctional. Nurses don't have a clue of what the Dr. has ordered. Dr. fails to put in the order. Can not talk to a nurse or P.A without jumping through hoops and then you get a voicemail. Poorly organized.

I loved Dr. Katato but if his MA Sam doesn't like you she will tell him lies about you. It really hurt me that he did not trust me like I did him. I tried to talk to him about the lie she told about me and he didn't seem to really care, I was heart broken and will not be returning. Not only did Sam lie about me she also bragged to a friend about how she screwed me. Beware of her future patients.
