Dr. French was my hematologist from the ages of 13-20, and the man is wonderful! The staff was always friendly, and helpful. Dr. French always put me at ease, and made sure I understood what was going to happen etc. I am getting ready to start a family with my husband and God forbid my child should need a hem/onc doctor, I know who my first call will be.

I would recommend Dr French along with the entire team of hemoc dr's @ CMC. I trusted them with my son's life and I would do it again. I always felt that they had nothing but my son's best interest in mind and offered us the constant reasurrance we needed t/o my son's illness. We are truly blessed to have such a qualified staff of Dr's @ CMC of Dayton.

He was rude and made me feel stupid for coming to him with questions about my daughter's newly diagnosed disease. He had a horrible bedside manner and made us feel like we wasted our time and money; we left with more questions than we came with!
