I had previously been…read moredriving all the way to Cedar Park, and with all of my current doctor's appointments closer to home is certainly better. It's located in a very nondescript, older shopping center. Some of the office equipment and chairs for transfusions and such are definitely outdated. But everything is super clean, and I heard they are in the process of making aesthetic improvements. Looks certainly don't matter, especially in this case! All of the staff are amazingly friendly, professional, and well informed. And I loveeeeeee Dr. Kampe. I decided to get a whole new healthcare team at the beginning of the year and am more than pleased to add Dr. Kampe to the list. He has a great personality, is straightforward, while being empathetic with my needs at the same time. He took his time on our initial visit. I really felt listened to, which is something sadly I do not experience with many physicians. Thank you! Any progress is a big win in my book! From what I can tell, this is sort of a satelite location that collaborates with the much larger South Austin TXO. Dr. Kampe's schedule is limited, and the phlebotomist is only one on-site, one day, a week. In addition to renovations, I believe they are also going to try to staff this location more heavily and offer more treatment options. Pray. I am grateful for their service. :D

Within 3 minutes it was obvious he was a genius...and I don't just throw that word around. I'm so happy to have found Dr. Kocs. He's incredible. I'd trust the care of any member of my family to him - no matter the severity of the disease - without hesitation. I truly think he is in the top 0.5% of doctors in terms of skill, intelligence, and charisma. Last thing. He takes a probabilistic (evidence-based) approach to treatment.

Once we tried to get a hold of the "doctor on call" on the weekend but never received a call back.

Kuddos to the pharmacy and radiation center for doing a good job but the medical service side needs a lot of help. Texas Oncology is very disorganized. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. I strongly suggest going somewhere else if possible. We eventually went to MD Anderson. Best decision we ever made. MDA is a class act.

My amazing team of doctors and the incredible staff at Texas Oncology made a very scary and new situation a little bit easier to navigate. They are easy to reach when you have a question, quick to respond to a call, and they actually listen to you. Even when my medical oncologist left to focus more on research, I was assigned to a new doctor immediately. The first time I met her I was at ease and knew I was in good hands. They go above and beyond here to make you feel like a real person and not just a name on a chart. I owe my life to Dr. Heather King, Dr. Andrew Brenner, and now Dr. Mika Cline.

Being told you have cancer is scary as hell, but I was always met with compassion and kindness from every member of the staff at this location. It's no secret Dr. Hellerstedt is a rockstar, and I'm back with her and her team after a stage four melanoma diagnosis. She and her nurse practitioners are always so willing to listen to me, answer my questions, and give me clear reasons and thoughts about what we are doing and why we are doing it. It is so completely obvious that Dr. Hellerstedt cares a great deal about her patients, and it shows in every aspect of her approach. I consider myself incredibly grateful to have her on my team. I have always received prompt service/answers from them; I use the portal for questions, and if they are thought to need immediate attention, I get a call very soon after submitting them. I consider the entire staff exceptional, from the front desk greeters, to the schedulers to the lab folks, and especially the nurses in the infusion rooms. Not only are those nurses handling infusions at the top of their game, their personalities just make a crappy situation that much better. I already have my favorites, and they go out of their way to recognize you and check in on you, even if you are not their patient at the time. Not to mention most of them are just funny as hell and jive with my warped sense of humor.

After finding out my mom was in ICU because of brain surgery, we get a call from Dr. Herman's office that he would no longer see her, he was transferring her care to another practice.

If you ask them to leave you a voice message with your appointment date and time, when they call you back, they won't do it. They'll just hang up and not even leave you a message. Then you get to start the whole scheduling process over again, like you never called the first time and like they never screwed up, and this is regarding cancer, so we're all actively dying while waiting for an appointment. I highly recommend finding a different cancer clinic. This one is the worst!

After calling Dr Martinez's office with continued complaints her annoyed secretary relayed that I should take some Advil. After 4 more days of constant agony, Dr Martinez was finally able to see me. She walked in the room, kept her back to me and said "I hear you're experiencing some discomfort" to which I replied "I've never experienced more crippling agony in my life" she spent approximately 5 minutes with me, wrote me an script, advised me against going to the ER and sent me on my way. That night was the worst of my life. (Valentines day) I called again in the morning, the secretary took a message and never called me back. Finally I went to the ER where I was hospitalized all weekend and needed emergency surgery. The first doctor I saw said I looked like I had inflammatory breast cancer. My surgeon said you could fill a coffee cup with what came out of my breast. Dr Martinez clearly lacks compassion and bedside manner. It's evident that she's just checking off her days till retirement. I am traumatized after what I endured due to Dr Martinez's negligence.

I can't express my gratitude enough to him and to Dr. Martinez. She is very professional and businesslike, but also warm and patient and kind. Her office staff are BEYOND COMPARE when it comes to making you feel comfortable, welcome, even getting a laugh in here and there. She did an ultrasound in the office, and though she'd just done the biopsy, she told me she felt pretty sure it was malignant (which I appreciated because I wanted the straight story and I wanted to not be in suspense a moment longer. And she was right because she is that experienced and expert.) Although I was told that the biopsy of my lymph node might take two days to get results, her staff called me the NEXT DAY to let me know it was negative. Another big plus for me and a small sigh of relief. She guided me at every step, helped me with understanding the research, and when it came time to decide what to do, she didn't just lay out the options, she gave me wise advice and counsel... again, much appreciated. I wanted an expert to tell me what they would do if it were them... and the mass was sufficiently large in comparison to my B cup breast that she suggested I choose (if possible) a skin-nipple sparing mastectomy on that side, not a lumpectomy. That's what I opted for. Here's what you get with her-- she is SO skillful at what she does, that she was able to get me a clean margin and save the skin and nipple. How close were we??? ****.48 mm**** yes that's less than half of a millimeter. The difference between oops, sorry, we can't save the skin, you'll have to have so much other surgery to create a breast using your stomach or back skin and it will take months and never look anything like your breast.... and oops sorry, we saved the skin but there's a tiny bit of cancer still there so we have to do it again. She also recommended me to a wonderful, kind, skillful plastic surgeon (John Eggleston) and between the two of them I am.... grateful, and as happy as you can be having had a mastectomy. Today is my one year mammogram checkup, I've been on tamoxifen (no chemo, no radiation) all this last year, and I wanted to give a huge cheer for Dr M and her staff in case anyone else out there needed some insight on who to choose for the saving of their life.
