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.

No word to describe the level of care
Going into 2023 the rug as they say was pulled from under me when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Humming along in life, you see and hear but never did it come close to me until my mom's diagnosis. With this in mind, the first part of the process is a jumbled maze of questions, worries and what if's.. let me be clear and honest that Texas Oncology far surpass any review I read. The level of care by Dr. Aponte to my mom was always professional, educational and always with a hand on your shoulder to let you know that you are not alone in this traumatic time. The whole year was grueling, constantly going back and forth for treatment. And no time was my mom alone, if she had a question or concern they were quick to assist and guide you. Going into 2024 my mom is now in remission and I have Dr. Aponte and all the wonderful staff, from clerks to nurses ar Texas Oncology. They are all truly in a class to themselves on what they do to help regular folks.

An excellent and caring doctor
My primary care doctor referred me to Dr. Aponte for a non-cancer medical problem. I've found her to be caring and friendly. She thoroughly examines all aspects of a situation before recommending a course of action. She also referred me to another excellent specialist for further treatment of my ailment. Everybody whom I've encountered at the practice is friendly and helpful. I'm glad I have Dr. Aponte as my doctor.
