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 pleased.
I was pleased with my visit to Dr. Danso’s office. He is very professional. I like that he doesn’t rush you when you have questions or concerns. I feel he listens to you and makes sure you understand everything before he leaves the room. His staff is very nice, pleasant and professional.

Simply the Best
Several years ago Dr. Danso was recommended to me by doctors at Sloan Kettering when I had a lumpectomy and was going to require follow-up chemo therapy and radiation treatments. The chemo went well. The care I received from Dr. Danso and his team was excellent. As Dr. Danso reviewed my test results on this last visit he told me all was well and I would be graduating from his care next year. It is always good news to be dismissed by your cancer doctor, and certainly evidence of successful medical care. Many thanks to Dr. Danso and to Tina.

Seven years of life-saving care.
Dr. Danso has served as the lead oncologist for my care team since the original diagnosis of lymphoma. He has skillfully directed care as treatment options became available with new procedures and medicines. I now lead a remarkably normal life with minimal side effects.

Review of Dr Michael Danso
The visit was brief but informative. Dr Danso reviewed the biopsy of my adrenal gland and said that there were no issues. I told him that the radiation oncologist had recommended a radiation treatment to reduce the mass in my adrenal gland and he concurred with that approach. Scheduled a follow up appointment to review the results of the treatment.

The BEST oncologist for Triple Negative BC
I was diagnosed with TNBC back in 2021 at only 29 years old. I work for a large hospital system in the area and my colleagues referred me to who they described as the best oncologist in the area. Dr. Danso is an extremely talented and knowledgeable physician. He is always three steps ahead of the research that is out there. I completely credit my cancer survival with his treatment plan and care. I felt very lucky and honored to be cared for by him.
