He saved my mothers life who at 80 was discover to have Myliodisplecia (MLS) and thanks to him and his perseverance on finding the best course of treatment and his patience saved her life. He is the best doctor but most importantly a great human being who cares about his patience and gives them the time they need. He explains to his patience and family memebers everything that is going on in a way that we can grasp the concepts and explanations given by him. He has been monitoring and caring for my mother for more than 4 years. Highly recommended.

Wait time was too long for our appointment. Dr. C. had an intern 'shadowing' him and this may have played a part. Still not fair to my 87 yr. old mother .... she doesn't do well with long wait times.

Treatment was not supervised and I was given the wrong dosage. Thanks to my family I was removed from his care. I was not able to make decisions. I would check out this Doctor very carefully before entrusting my care to him.

Wait times vary. Sometimes you may have a little longer wait than other times but once you are a patient, you realize that this wonderful and compassionate doctor listens to you and answers every question and concern you have. I would rather have an occasional wait knowing that he is answering another cancer patients questions and that when it is my turn, he will listen and answer all of my questions as well.
