Honestly, I have been receiving care in the Wellstar system for years, and this is the first time I feel disappointed. I am going through one of the most difficult times regarding my health, and I have fully trusted the doctors recommended by my surgeon, but I truly felt let down by the recommendation and the lack of empathy shown by this particular doctor. He didn't even have the professionalism to discuss the lab results he himself ordered. I am going to cancel my next appointment and will look for other alternatives for my follow-up. I hope they can resolve and adjust whatever needs to be adjusted so that we, the patients, can trust the healthcare system, in this case, the Medical Oncology department.

Great as usual, but one small complaint. The phlebotomist had trouble drawing my blood, so I went upstairs, and the phlebotomist there had trouble as well. I feel like they were both inexperienced, and It was uncomfortable being stuck multiple times in both arms. When I go to my primary care doctor's office, they never have issues. I would much rather have my blood taken there. I love my doctor (Oyola) and the staff, so NO complaints there!
