Love the place so many nice Doctors and nurses Dr Rutledge is great and caring . Dr Dexter so nice and caring and knowledgeable. The nurses in the infusion center nice and caring and know their stuff. Very satisfied with the cancer center.
They correctly diagnosed and explained my problem and treatments. All the staff and the amazing Dr. Khatib were careful and precise in their treatment. There is a chance I can recover from this usually fatal cancer.
