I wish I would never have to write a review for any cancer doctor or center, but unfortunately that…read moreis not the case. My husband was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and as he had seen one of the physicians here for a non-cancer reason he wanted to come back to an office he felt familiar with. This practice has several offices located around the area. We have only visited the one on Shircliff and the one in Fleming Island. His doctor is at the Shircliff location so this is where we've been most of the time. All I can say is this place is amazing. The staff are so friendly and caring. They take the time to answer any and all of your questions and concerns. All of them from the front desk to the phlebotomists to the RN's up to the ARNPs and doctors are fantastic. I felt immediately that they had only my husband's best interest in mind when setting up his care plan. We see Dr. Badrinath who is so calm and straightforward. His presence is very calming. Our first visit was longer than one hour and I never felt like he was rushing us. One thing I like is that with every visit they hand you your results, so we have a folder with all of his labs, scans, etc. available to us at home if needed. I don't wish anyone to have to visit this office, but if you needed to, this is a great practice and my husband trusts them 100%.

Several years ago, I received the worst birthday present a woman could possibly receive.... A…read morebreast cancer diagnosis! I legitimately had no where to turn for advice as no other woman in my family had had a previous diagnosis. I've always strived to be the one to pave the path for others... but this isn't one I'd ever wanted to tackle. I was petrified upon hearing my diagnosis... invasive ductal carcinoma, among other foreign terminology... radiologist, core needle biopsy, mastectomy, estrogen & progesterone receptor, lumpectomy, tamoxifen.... Among countless others! Upon referral to MD Anderson Cancer Center, several things became simpler to discern and I chose the most viable option for myself. The staff that I've been assigned have been very gracious, supportive, helpful, understanding, knowledgeable, and informative medical professionals I've had the pleasure to encounter. From the lobby staff to the scrub techs, to the radiographers and all the way to the surgical team... everyone has been amazingly sincere with their every intention! I cannot say enough about the professionalism and dedication to excellence MD Anderson employees have graced me with! I'm now 4 years cancer free and I owe it all to MD Anderson in conjunction with The Hill Breast Center and Baptist Medical Center! May they continue to eradicate not only Breast virus Cancer but ALL cancer!!! #savinglivesonepatientatatime

The bedside manner, the honesty, and the care I was given was beyond remarkable. Hopefully when my 5 year remission date arrives I will be able to thank them once again ....even though "thank you" seems so little to how I truly feel about these people!

Speaking from experience, the customer service part of it isn't that good.

There is no communication between the two places where there should be because if no one can communicate with the other, that could mean that someone may die if proper communication is not made! There's got to be a better system in place for communication so everyone knows what is happening with the patient and everyone will know what care the patient is receiving. It would save a lot of time and energy in having to repeat why the patient or care taker is calling if the hospital and doctor's office can communicate!

But that's where I am, and I'll be forever thankful that our journey is with Dr. Nowicki and his superior staff (and colleagues). The details are not important, just know that the care will be compassionate, patient (you will have questions, they will have answers), and professional/organized (there are a lot of things to keep track of). The MD Anderson affiliation is a tremendous plus. His affiliation with Baptist Health was to our liking. We are half way through treatments. It's been easier than expected, and we are hopeful for a positive outcome. We owe so much to Dr. Nowicki. Thanks.

He promptly scheduled me for an infusion this week and that's what I had today. There is plenty of parking, a large lobby, and even a vending machine for snacks if your infusion takes a while like mine did! Let me preface I have a horrible fear of needles, so this kind of place is a nightmare for me. When I told the nurses and the people who draw blood, they were so quick to make me as comfortable as possible. Kris, the nurse manager, was able to find a vein in my baby sized veins. She was so patient, kind, and compassionate. I get anxiety about being a burden since I can be difficult, but she didn't make me feel that way for a second. Another honorable mention is the nurse I had, Jasmine, who was so attentive and supportive. She explained things very thoroughly and made me feel confident in the treatment I was getting. I couldn't have asked for a better nurse. Overall, if you come here, be assured you'll have some great care with professionals who lead with compassion and patience. No one wants to go to a cancer center, but the nurses and doctors change that once you meet them.
