April 24, 2013

Everyone is very caring, polite and kind.

April 20, 2013

some of the followup instructions were given to me while I was still somewhat sedated. I do not remember going home from the center, and I don't remember any of the directions. My husband remembered some of them and eventually found the paper we were given.

March 27, 2013

Dr Hunt always takes time to answer all my questions. He looks me in the eye and we discuss my treatment plan. The staff accomadates all of my needs. I so glad that while I'm going through such a hard time I have the Huntsman and Dr. Hunt.

Dr. Hunt was clear and concise. He is much better looking than his online photo ...and set me at ease about the surgery as soon as he spoke. He inspired confidence and I am feeling much better about the surgery.

February 09, 2013

Dr Hunt was wonderful and caring

February 04, 2013

I have complete confidence in Dr. Hunts abilities. When he found metastasis beyond what was able to be seen on tests, he informed my husband and told him that he would do everything possible to preserve my voice and ability to swallow. He has done so, including refraining from encouraging further surgeries unless absolutely necessary. I am very pleased with the outcome of my cancer treatment by Dr. Hunt. He was concerned not only with my wellness but also with minimizing scarring, which was greatly appreciated.

Nice experience

Friendly, but efficient.

March 14, 2012

Dr. Hunt has been an excellent Doctor all throughout my treatments. I would, and have, recommended him to others.

March 14, 2012

He told me a few things I needed to do and he didn't write them down on the follow up sheet I took home. The nurse attempted to recall everything but I would have liked a more detailed list of things I should do and when I should do them. But otherwise, everyone was great!

March 08, 2012

Everything was explained in detail. Very comforting and no concerns.

February 25, 2012
