No one wants to have to come here, obviously. It means that you've got an issue with your health. That being said, they do a great job of making the best of a bad situation.
The office is located in the old downtown Palomar Hospital location, in the center of Escondido. It is on the topside, where the old Emergency Room was. This makes it easy to get to appointments, because parking is right outside the doors. There are several handicap accessible parking spaces, and an entrance ramp.
The staff are all very friendly, and good at what they do. Everyone really seems to care about the patients, from the doctors and nurses, to the radiation techs. Doctor Volpp and his staff made sure that they kept track of my progress, and addressed any question or issue that I had.
Hopefully I won't have to go back for any more treatments. It was fun doing the bell ringing ceremony after my last treatment, when everyone comes out to give you a hug. They also have popcorn Friday and theme clothing days, to make it fun for the patients.
I'm going to miss them, it was a part of my life for almost 6 weeks. It was obviously an unpleasant situation, but they made they the best of it.
Dammit, now I'm crying. read more
