GOOD

June 15, 2020

The office staff and physician went above and beyond to help my son on this crazy day. We did not know the Cancer Institute had moved, I went to the wrong building. Every office I encountered in attempting to find the Cancer Institute were above and beyond helpful. Dr Symes still saw my son even though we arrived 25 minutes late for the appointment! He still took the time to address my concerns regarding my son and his disease without rushing. Absolutely wonderful care!
