I cannot say enough good about this most excellent radiation oncologist. He is, no doubt, brilliant. As Dr. Krentel as Medical Director , he is expert in cyberknife surgery and radiation oncology. He has years of experience and years at MD Anderson. Dr. Krentel couldn't have been kinder or more personable in his time with me. He was very patient and answered every possible question I had to my complete satisfaction. He at no time seemed in a hurry. He made me feel at ease. Calm. And assured. I highly recommend Dr. Krentel for your oncology needs!

Dr K treated my mother and we can't say enough about Dr Krentel and his staff. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He is professional but treated my mother like she were his own.
