I really liked Dr Halwani. Hes knowledgeable and caring and was always ready to move on the the next step in my treatment when it was needed.
Doctor was rude and lecturing us about why were there when we were simply doing what our primary physician told us to to follow-up. The doctor lectured us for quite a while repeating that in all essence we were wasting his time. To clarify this was the doctor and NOT the nurse practitioner who came in first. She was phenomenal. He very simply could have told us that he had no cancer concerns at this time and that there is no need to follow up with the Huntsman unless something changes. Was a terrible experience with him.
