Testimonials

“Professional.

Monica O.

“Very kind and helpful.”

Kallie W.

“I was a patient there at one time and I got the help I needed. Dr. Mehmood Hashmi would not stop looking into my condition until he found out that it was cancer. He is a great doctor and I cried when I had to move away. I loved that man and everyone who worked with him.”

Deborah M.

“Understanding and healing!”

Rick D.

“The people who work here are all so caring and treat you like a human being – not just another patient!”

Cheryl W.

“Love Dr. Boyd and Ginger, APRN. The nurses in the chemo area are the BEST. Very friendly and supportive.”

Angela P.

“I want to relay a huge heart-to-heart THANK YOU to Dr. Edwin Petrik. It is especially important to be able to say thank you during Colon Cancer Month. Dr. Petrik and Dr. Wall were a huge part of a great team/staff that brought me back from Stage 3B colorectal cancer in 2001.”

Mark W.

“I found out I had colon cancer and started going here for treatment prior to surgery. These are the most awesome people; they treat you like family. I’m still going there for my chemo and CT scans as I still have cancer, but I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you to the staff and Dr. Einspar! You guys are the best.”

Earl D.

“What a great place! From the moment you walk in the door, check in with the receptionists, have your labs done, meet with the doctor, and have treatment with the most amazing, wonderful nurses!”
