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 kind & he looks out for my best interest

Life is good, when you don’t have an oncologist.
Being diagnosed with cancer was very scary. Dr. Rushing and all of his staff helped to make it less scary. All staff was thorough and professional. Explained treatment plan completely and answered all questions. Was available anytime for any questions or concerns I had. Dr.Rushing put me at ease and immediately I knew I was in good hands.

Great listener!
Dr. Rushing is this kind and humble provider who listened to my complaints over my symptoms and he gave me recommendation based on his views of the matter, and made me feel better. My operation healed well as expected but my skin was not happy with the sutures and the adhesives of the dressing so it took longer to heal up on the outside but he wasn’t concerned about it. I am a bleeder, he took time to suture me up. He is patient. He advised me as well with regards to my sexuality. He is that devoted to the welfare of his client. He also has a very good bedside manners. I surely want to recommend him to other females who’s in need of expert services on female oncology issues. He is my guy and I trust him.

Experienced, compassionate doctor!!
I drove over 500 miles round trip to see Dr Rushing, twice. Worth every mile. He listened to my story and concerns. He didn’t pressure me into going one way or another with my surgery but clearly explained risks and benefits. He was kind, compassionate and I’d recommend him to anyone with a complex gynecological issue. He fixed me when other doctors opted for the birth control til menopause to control my issues.

Expertise. Compassion. Respectful communication.
Diagnosis Oct2024-IVB Uterine Leiomyosarcoma. For over a year, Dr. Rushing and his colleagues have been my doctors, PAs, and nurses. Through chemotherapy and now immunotherapy, they have been consistently conscientious; adjusting dosages when necessary, forthcoming with information while encouraging my questions and second opinions. Dr. Rushing is that doctor everyone wishes for. Brilliant, kind, and not dismissive at all. I am forever grateful to him and his staff at Compass Oncology.

Excellent care
Compass oncology reached out to me quickly, and I was able to obtain an appointment the very same week. This was partly due to Dr. Rushing schedule being opened up since he was returning back to work, of course. His team explained everything very well and I was having surgery the very next week, Very positive professional team. My surgery went smooth and so did my recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Rushing and his team. Very pleased !

Best doctor ever
Cordial, welcoming, excellent team, and I can't imagine a better doctor for my condition. Although I understand that Dr. Rushing is a very busy doctor, I never get the sense that he's hurrying through his time with me. I am confident that his treatment plan has been spot on. I would without hesitation recommend Dr. Rushing to any cancer patient and I feel blessed that he was recommended to me.
