Dr Droder is the absolute best. From the time I found out I had cancer he was on it. I feel like I'm getting the best care under his plan of care & he's the reason I stay positive. Thank you for all your doing for me.

My dad and my friends dad had the same illness. My friends dad took the traditional medicine from another doctor and was physically active for several more years. Dr Droder gave my dad experimental meds and he was incapacitated by the meds and died a painful death in a year.

Dr Droder was my Mother's Doctor for almost 20 years and she trusted him with her life. He had worked with her for ITP, cancer, blood & nutrient deficiency, as well as several other complicated issues. We could have never ask for a more compassionate, caring down to earth Dr who kept up to the minute on the latest treatments & meds. Most of all he remembered you & your situations always and had the best bedside manner of any Dr I know. Mom recently died from heart issues while out of town & she begged for Dr Droder in the end. This man gave us our Mom for far more many years than we expected and we will always be grateful to him. Highly recommended

Dr. Droder's experimental drug treatment caused my father suffering and pre-mature death.

Dr. Droder cares about me as a patient, a person, a friend. I have been seeing him for over 10 years and he is the main reason I am still hear today. His bedside manners are excellent, his knowledge is overwhelming and he keeps up to date on the last research & developments. I would recommend him to any and everyone for hemotology/oncology. And his nurse is excellent as well, all the staff there is very caring and compassionate about the patients and their families.
