I was referred to Dr. Dickey almost 2 years ago. My Doctor found that all my numbers from blood levels, calcium levels... and more kept getting higher but couldn't figure it out. He referred me to Dr. Dickey. After multiple tests, it was ONLY Dr. Dickey that tested me for the rare blood mutation JAK2. And sure enough, that was the answer. Most Doctors still don't even know/or heard of JAK2. I now am lucky enough to see her every 4-6 months of my life, for the rest of my life. Dr. Dicky takes the time to explain everything on my level, go through everything in my life, and is literally my Angel watching over me! Which is a challenging mutation to have because there still aren't answers about it. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Dickey. As for the negative review by someone about the office itself, Torrence is a very successful cancer hospital, with a lot of patients. The staff that works there do their best, and for me put a smile on my face.

I was so glad I found Dr. Dickey. She was a life saver! She explained things carefully and took a lot of time with us. We did have to wait to see her but expected this in a cancer office. She was respectful, compassionate, and really took the time to explain our diagnosis. We left feeling relieved and knowing we were in good hands.
