I love everybody on staff. I can't say enough. From the time I arrived and till I left, everyone was very professional.

I was treated excellently at every turn. It started with the excellent registration staff and then Dr. Kirkel's staff. Everyone was kind and professional. I truly felt cared about. Dr. Kirkel is such a wonderful professional. You leave feeling good and know what is going on. I even need to say how nice the staff at the parking lot was. I had to get assistance and I said I was sorry to bother her and she said I am happy and here to help you. What more could I ask for. World Class service at every turn.

Dr Kirkel is a wonderful and compassionate doctor. I'm very grateful for his care. I do want to add the nurse who escorted to me to infusion area should had communicated better to me. She went to ask which location I would be but never returned back to let me know if I was in correct location or the other available. I sat there for 30 minutes hoping I was in correct location. Then the nurse who was going to do my phlebotomy got me. Everything was fine at that point. It would be nice to have been told a nurse would be out to get me.

Dr Kirkel and the entire staff at the Cancer Center are very kind and helpful in their approach to my care. Even though they seem very busy they take the time that I think is needed. I am very grateful to them. However, they seem very busy, and that concerns me. I am not sure that doctors and staff can continue to perform at high levels at such a pace. Nonetheless the attention to patient care is excellent. The parking stamps are a nice add to patient empathy. Thank you.
