The visit was very helpful. I felt quite confident about the info.

March 04, 2013

I always feel that everyone is proactively involved in my case and has a personal interest in my progress. I know I am in good hands at the Huntsman.

March 04, 2013

Dr Agarwal went out of his way to make sure that we understood the risk/reward of the IL 2 therapy, included us in the decision making process, and also welcomed a friend who was sitting on on the session. We left feeling completely confident in the care we would receive from Dr Agarwal and the Nurse practitioners who administer the treatment.

February 25, 2013

As usual. Unbelievable care.

February 25, 2013

Narraj is great and is so caring.

February 18, 2013

I have recommended and I will continue to recommended my care provider Dr Neeraj Agarwal and his staff to others. I appreciate their committed positive approach to my treatment.

February 10, 2013

I frequently mention to others about the good experience I have had at HCC. The level of treatment and experience of the doctors is exceptional. The treatment and the facility are world class! Thank you

January 28, 2013

This visit is the best one I have experienced so far. Keep up the good work.

January 14, 2013

Pleasantly surprised at the knowledge the provider had of my case upon arrival without looking at notes and the unrushed atmosphere and amount of time spent with me.

November 27, 2012

We told them about my "flu like" symptoms after my first infusion and they immediately recommended changes in the procedure that would help me to avoid those "flu like" symptoms in the future

November 12, 2012

Every one is great!!!!!!!!!!

November 12, 2012

The entire Staff at HCI is on the cutting edge in their profession. I have the highest confidence in their direction and treatment.

October 29, 2012

If you have Cancer, This is the place to come to for treatment.

October 22, 2012

Dr. Agarawal was very clear, professional and straightforward in his manner.

October 12, 2012

I can understand how a Doctor's schedule can be disrupted. I do not understand why I was not better informed of reason for the delay. I certainly do not know why I waited in the Infusion Clinic for nearly 90 minutes because, as I understand, Pharmacy was slow.

July 30, 2012

I personaly do not like the doctor

July 16, 2012

We tell everyone this is the best place for excelant care.

June 26, 2012

Dr. Agarwal is apparently very knowledgeable and proficient medically, but I have found his patient concern and communication skills to be lacking. He demonstrates superficial concern and does a very marginal job of explaining his treatments and taking time to insure that the patient has a comfortable understanding of treatment/changes in treatments. He gives the distinct impression that his "schedule" and clinical studies are much more important that your concerns/comfort level.

June 25, 2012

they were busy that day but I had no problem

May 04, 2012

GOOD

April 13, 2012

thanks for the great care I have been afford in helping me fight my cancer.

March 23, 2012

Dr. who spoke to us and examined me before Dr. Agarwal was very knowledgeable, and during exam found a potential concern which he told him about.

March 16, 2012

good
