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.

He is a Great Doctor and listens well
Although treating me for anemia, he took it upon himself to be involved with another issue and got the ball rolling. His staff listened well and changed the location I wanted to be treated at. He got my anemia under control and at this point has released me. You better believe, if I need his services again, he's the one I'll see. Great morals, very concerned.

This is who you want if you are facing treatment or follow-ups for cancer.

Highly recommend
Dr Curran is absolutely an Oncologist that I would highly recommend. From the first visit and all through my Chemo Treatments, he showed compassion, caring, and listened to my concerns. Also the PA’s, office and lab staff were always professional and friendly as well. Pray my cancer doesn’t come back but if it does he will be my Doctor.

Care provided when needed
Dr Curran came to the hospital to do a preliminary visit with me and my husband. He agreed to take me as a patient and to see me in his office the same day that I was released from the hospital. Office visit provided me with intro to my care team. Very impressed with facility, staff and outline of my care. I feel confident that my care will be outstanding and designed to be the most effective for me. Already had a follow up phone call and looking forward to my visit next week.

Very compassionate and honest
Dr. Currans staff got us in quickly. He took a lot of time with us answering all questions and explain everything about the lung cancer diagnosis. He quickly put us in touch with a surgeon and made a follow up appointment. He has a kind bedside manner and send to be very knowledgeable and created a feeling of teamwork. Recommend easily.

This dr. waited several months to even tell my mom the honest truth about what metastatic colon cancer was & was the prognosis was. Instead he started slamming her body with more than recommended chemoembolizations and she died within a year. Patients have the RIGHT to know the TRUTH before making any decisions and time to digest things before treatment is pushed on them.
