Dr. Farshid Dayyani

Thanks to Dr. Dayyani, my mother is happy and better than ever.

He didn’t follow up w us for 3 weeks despite several calls. I’ll never forgive him .

I have neuroendocrine cancer (pancreatic & liver), I couldn't agree more with the anger I felt not knowing Dr. Dayyani was leaving MDAnderson. I found out the day I had a scheduled appointment and was told I'd be seeing a different Dr. to go over the results of my scans which showed a 15% reduction in the size of my tumors. How frustrated was I not to be able to thank the man that made that possible! Since then I have been shuffled between two different Drs. that took me off the medicine that has worked for over a year and a half. My recent scans showed new growth (of course) and I haven't been told what medicine they plan on using to fight my cancer. I wish I could share my recent scans with Dr. Dayyani, and get his opinion on which route to go. Long distance via email is better than driving back and forth here for no answers.

I am 100% sure Dr Dayyani saved my husbands life as he fights esophageal cancer stage four spread to the stomach and now to the liver. However the clinic or someone dropped the ball big time when Dr. Dayyani left MD Anderson in Arizona for Switzerland. The lives of people counting on these doctors cannot be shelved they must be promptly transferred to another qualified specialist. Many of us travel from distant location to see specialists and rely on those consultations to ensure the best medical care. I was disappointed that it took the clinic over a month to tell us he had left and that a mailer was not sent out despite us continuously faxing medical records for ongoing care. I am still 100% grateful to this obviously well informed specialist for giving my husband the best care he could have and making sure we chose the right path.
