I am so glad I didn't look at the prior reviews for TXO Bedford when I was diagnosed with breast cancer! My medical team at TXO is fantastic and it is obvious they all communicate because there has not been a time that I felt that anyone was out of sync. I love all of my doctors and the lab and infusion center are run quickly but professionally and they have treated me as a person and not just another body with cancer. If you go to Texas Breast Specialists within TXO, you will LOVE Shay! She remembered my name from day one and even recognized me immediately when I had lost all of my hair. Several reviews say that you cannot change doctors once you have worked with one. I am SO glad to say that was not the case here. I had seen Dr. Gill for a DVT several years back and we never really meshed well. My choice of doctors for breast cancer was never questioned. Perhaps it was because this was breast cancer-centric but I don't know. All I know is that it was seamless for me. Here is my timeline. You can see that things have progressed very efficiently, even as I have moved from one doctor's care to another. 06/12/2024 - diagnosis 06/20/2024 - met surgeon 06/28/2024 - lumpectomy * Time spent for body to heal from surgery * 07/23/2024 - met medical oncologist 07/25/2024 - met radiation oncologist 07/29/2024 - chemo began 10/08/2024 - last chemo 10/10/2024 - radiation follow-up & mapping 10/21/2024 - radiation start (was deferred due to an unrelated issue) 11/04/2024 - begin radiation 11/25/2024 - end radiation Hormone blocker medication will follow all of the above treatments My doctors, all of whom I highly recommend: Breast surgeon - Dr. Mary Brian (has since retired) Medical oncologist - Dr. Lea Krekow Radiation oncologist - Dr. Janice Tomberlin Finally, Dr. Krekow's nurse Krystal is one of the best and most personable nurses that I have ever worked with. She is quick to answer my questions submitted through the portal and has the patience of a saint!
Texas Oncology-Bedford has been with me for 10 years. They have been nothing but helpful in every way, from the staff at the front, to the nurses, lab techs, and physician assistants. Dr. Patel is an amazing doctor with compassion and knowledge. He has put my cancer in remission now for 10 years. I am still going to check ups once a year, and all is still well. I could not have possibly asked for a better outcome. They are a stellar group of people.
From the greeting of the front desk staff, to the PAs, the transfusion center and labs, the pharmacy and especially my oncologist Dr. Rojas and Radiation Oncologist, Dr. Tomberlin, I have never had one bad experience! Not only has everyone I have ever dealt with been the epitome of professional, but friendly and most caring as well! I definitely attribute my positive outcome to their utmost care! I head in for (hopefully) final labs tomorrow and all results next Fri! With all Blessings, I will hit my 5 year all clear mark and be done with this adventure!
