The amazing staff listens to your concerns through to fulfilling your heath care needs. The entire process from checking in to blood draw lab to seeing your doctor is very efficient which eases the stress of patient care. My shinning star is Dr A. Patel who saved me from being overdosed by a previous cancer center. I encourage every person with cancer to see the "A" team of doctors at The University of Health Care.
Dr. Patel could understand the frustration we were feeling when we were not privy to behind the scenes conversations that a team of doctors were having without consulting or informing us. It was a relief to be able to speak with someone with expertise who could answer our questions and take action on our behalf.

She is brilliant and personable and I don't want to ever lose her.
