Dr Takvorian has been my oncologist since 2003. He is the reason that I am not only alive but live a full and happy life. He cares and he monitors me very regularly. I consider myself blessed to have him on my side.

I was unlucky to be diagnosed with cancer but was very lucky to have Dr. Tak oversee my care. I continue to see Dr Tak yearly for follow up many years removed from my last treatment. I have never had to worry about my care during my treatment period and any follow up. Dr Tak is very thorough, caring, and compassionate. A credit to his profession.

I have been under Dr. Tak's care for 5 years (I am soon to be 5 years cancer free) and I think of him as a friend and a confidant now. I received nothing but the best care at the Yawkey Center and I actually look forward to my quarterly appointments. I can't say enough about my excellent care during my therapy treatments and after care.
