My husband has non-hodgekins follicular lymphoma. After radiation, he developed 3 different rashes in 3 different locations a year after treatment. He showed Dr. Long and he was just as baffled. We get a phone call a few days later from Dr. Long's office. He had reached out to a dermatologist friend and he relayed what he was told. My husband did exactly as instructed and it worked! THANK YOU DR. LONG! read more

HORRIBLE!!!!! My family member has to wait more than an hour past their scheduled appointment (last time was 1 hour and 45 minutes). The doctor she saw LAUGHED at her because she was too old to be accepted to a trial that had opened up. He literally told her, The meds your taking just don't work and that was your last hail-Mary so I don't know what to tell you. NO EMPATHY, NO COMPASSION. I called the office manager to express concern and she has not called me back, and it's been a week now! There were several other things the doctor said that were equally as horrible but I am putting all of that into a letter being sent to the Medical Board! COMPASSION AND EMPATHY SHOULD NOT BE OPTIONAL IN ONCOLOGY!!! An oncologist shouldn't tell a 56 year-year old to go home and die because there's no other option! CRUEL AND HORRIBLE!! I'm sure his entire staff would be mortified if they knew he also came into the room complaining about them to us (which is how he started the conversation...not with hello...complaining about the staff and their incompetence!) Dr. S.... is a horrible person and needs to get a different job, perhaps as the guy that kills cattle for a living as he doesn't seem to care about life so that would be more suited to his abilities as a human! read more

. The same individuals also openly admitted to no longer answering phones close to closing time =30-45 minutes prior to closing. This seems to be the pervasive attitude at this facility- I had a nurse "resolve " numerous patient message requests without ever speaking to me personally. When I threatened to speak to a patient advocate suddenly she was able to call me personally and communicate with me about my concerns. Which very easily could have been communicated in the patient portal. I saved the best for last: then you have the oncologist who is supposed to be the one that cares the most, right? Far from it. This oncologist is happy to let you wait for an unknown amount of time to have a surgeon or anyone but her reorder scans to check the status of said cancer even though she is medically managing said cancer. She doesn't care that I have no surgeon assigned to order said scans and no surgeon in the foreseeable future as my surgeon retired. She is happy to inflict unnecessary mental anguish, stress and anxiety on a cancer patient who has been anxiously awaiting the 6 month scans to determine the status of cancer. Her excuse is the surgeon knows the strength of the MRI and imaging machines he wants. BS my primary care has ordered almost every set of scans up to this point. So why won't my primary order these follow-up scans? Oh, because he referred me to the medical oncologist (the one listed above who refuses to order them and has been asked numerous times) to manage it. Who is being lazy and passing the buck onto another specialist. Well maybe medical oncologists don't order scans only surgeons do? Nope- there are multiple well known practices in Augusta that the Medical Oncologist orders the follow-up scans. Actually recently met with my new Medical Oncologists office and guess what one of the many things they will be ordering for me: follow-up scans to determine the status of cancer they will be medically managing. Refer to above comment before about the medical oncologist at this practice = she is being lazy and passing the buck. Honestly, there needs to be a special place in hell for individuals such as MDs or others that are given this "authority" and masquerading around in caring professions doing the exact opposite of that = not caring! This isn't a practice that genuinely cares about humanity and individual lives!!! I'm sorry I wasted so much of my time here. I am seeking care elsewhere with providers that might actually care about their patients not just about the profit that comes from our being unwell!!! You couldn't pay me to bring my worst enemy to this organization!! In short if you hope to be cared for by the individuals at this facility, especially specific medical oncologists - RUN don't walk from this place. They only care about the revenue that your sickness brings to their practice. But hey your revenue ensures said medical oncologist gets to drive a pretty sweet ride that she parks very close to the handicap parking in patient parking spots. So if you struggle to walk you may have to park farther away because the medical oncologist took the one closest to the door when she arrived before the clinic opened.... read more

I always receive the best of care when I enter that office. Dr Tojino treats you with care, and so do the staff members. I would recommend that office to anyone. read more

Aside from the difficulties that face every oncology patient, the staff are courteous and kind and efficient. The patient portal is very helpful. One must understand that an Oncologist is focused on your disease and treatment of your disease, so continue seeing your primary care physician as well for everything else. The staff at the D'Antignac location are wonderful, patient, and caring people and Dr. Reena Patel is outstanding. The only problems I have faced there is PARKING. AOA needs it's own parking lot, afterall . . . . . read more

I'll now be driving over an hour to be seen at another practice, but I will have a better opportunity to keep my much needed job this way. They'd have me in there every week, more than once, if they thought they could get away with it. VERY rigid when it comes to appointments and times. Also, they don't listen -- period. I'm tired of having to call and "remind" them to call in prescriptions as well. The last thing -- I should never hear the words "your insurance" come out of a doctor's or nurse's mouth in the middle of an appointment. I felt like the insurance company was managing my care -- not the doctor. read more

My mom has been receiving chemo therapy treatment from Augusta Oncology for the past 10 months. They have been exceptional in assisting her in her fight against ovarian cancer. She has seen positive results, and is almost done with her treatment. Throughout the course of her treatment there was many ups and downs and close calls. The staff here at Augusta Oncology has been great to us and my family and I are forever grateful for their services. Fighting cancer is never something that one plans on doing in their life, but things happen, some times with no explanation. As unfortunate it is to be told that you have cancer, it is fortunate to have treatment options available to us and an excellent supporting staff like the one that is here at Augusta Oncology. I would recommend them to anyone I know. read more
