Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

very understanding, kind and caring.

Sadly disappointed
I have no doubt that Dr. Flax is a good radiation oncologist and he will deliver care to you and help cure you. However, he lacks greatly in compassion and bedside manner. His visits are short, quick and focused on treatment only. Radiation is brutal. It can and does cause horrible side effects - some lasting the rest of your life. He is not interested nor does he accept your collateral damage. Anyone going through cancer deserves more compassion and it appears like he's become hardened to it.

Everyone has been extremely helpful and friendly
I've been living with a diagnosis for 13 months. I didn't understand what extensive testing and results meant.My wife and I learned more about my issues in two separate meetings. One was with Dr. Flax, the other by Dr. Barlow.The 13 months of delay finally started moving the day after my first meeting in December.Thank you to both sides of the wonderful people in the facility.
