Patient Reviews
Sep 19, 2023
My Having been diagnosed with cancer in my right tonsil and associated right lymph nodes. My treatment called out for chemo and radiation for an effective plan to eliminate the cancer. Dr. Brian Lawenda was the best radiation oncologist in the area, and I signed up. Dr. Lawenda showed me my image with the cancer area and how he had tailored my radiation doses to hit the cancer more and the surrounding tissue less. With his 3D capable advanced radiation machine and expertise, my treatment plan looked like artwork on the display. This is an amazing ability to for an expert like Dr. Lawenda to craft a custom treatment to match my cancer. His credentials should never be questioned in my mind.Once my chemo time change occurred because of an emergency patient load change at the chemo center. Dr. Lawenda and staff opened early at 7:30, for me, to accommodate that change. That's dedication to the patient's treatment.My trust is with Dr. Lawenda and his staff. Stan
