Dr. Richard Helmer III, MD

Dr. Helmer is an outstanding hematologist. He was the appropriate doctor for me because he was knowledgeable about my AA diagnosis. I had many questions and my ability to read research and comprehend it were a strength of mine. I questioned everything. My ability to be resourceful was not a threat to Dr. Helmer. I attended conferences for AA Patient in Houston, Texas and Bethesda, Maryland. When I asked, "how many hATG treatments had he administered," he gave me a very honest answer." He explained to me that the hATG treatment was very similar to chemo-therapy. Dr. Helmer didn't scare me with only negative side-effects. I would recommend Dr. Helmer if you wanted an experienced, dedicated, and expert in his field. He was always prompt, courteous and provided through examinations. Dr. Helmer was the right doctor for me!

Dr. Helmer has been my Hematologist/Oncologist for the last 7 years. I value his professionalism and expertise in treating my diagnosis of myelofibrosis. He stays on top of any new medications that may be helpful in treating the splenomegaly associated with my disease. He is a very personable and caring doctor.

I have been under Dr Helmer’s care since 2004. At every encounter he has been very attentive to my treatments and responsive to my questions and concerns.

I get very nervous. I really like the lab is so flexible and great at blood draws.

I think Dr. Helmer is the best. He is a very caring man and he always has time to listen to his patients. I would highly recommend him to anybody. He does not stop until he gets to the source of your problem.

I would give an unqualified recommendation to Dr. Helmer. Very competent. Listens. Easy to talk to.

Dr. Helmer has a very professional manner and clearly explains what the lab results tell. I highly recommend him.

Extremely pleasant. Very friendly and professional doctor and staff.

Great doc and great human being. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Helmer

I have been a patient for 10 + years of Dr. Helmer. He has provided outstanding service and advice. He has put my cancer in remission. Very caring Doctor, always a positive attitude, wonderful sense of humor!

I went in for a regular six-month visit for labs and an office visit. I have had no problems with the service at Texas Oncology or Dr. Helmer. In fact, I'm going to miss him when he leaves. I'm a bit how things will be in the future with my care being under the guidance of someone totally new to me.

He does not care to listen to the patient's concerns. His practice is outdated and not conscientious to the patient's values and preferences. He orders unnecessary medications and tests without sound rationale.

eye like Dr.helmet(think he's pretty cool)talks to/with you/gives you your information, and xtras to help further inform you,yes glad to do this!

Dr Helmer, is by far, one of my best doctors. He's very well educated and knows his choosen field of medcines speciality. He's always takes his time with his patients, answering any and all questions asked; and to me , as a patient, that's very important, he explains in exact details my medical issues, concerns and shows, he really cares about his patient's well-being. If asked; I would refre Dr. Helmer to my Family and Friends; that seeking a good well known professional Oncology Specialist of cancer related illiness and issues.

Timely and thorough. Great office and personnel. The best that there is!

Dr. Helmer has been wonderful with me and has virtually saved my life. He diagnosed my condition in August 2013, got me on the road to recovery and normalcy and has guided me in steady improvement to a point of par with my pre-diagnosis state. Speaking of par....he has a million great golfing jokes that make my day on each visit.

I have felt in good hands since the very first time I saw Dr. Helmer. I always know he’s doing the very best he can for me, and s keeping up with the latest innovations in treatment. He cares. And his supportive team are all equally attentive.

My visits consist of blood work and a consultation every 6 months

Routine check up to monitor blood - do not have cancer

Dr. Helmer has been my Dr. since 2015 and I feel if it wasn't for him I would not be walking around today. He is a very good listener and gives you feedback when we visit. Takes his time to answer any questions I may have. I would refer him to anyone.
