The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved.

"Originally, I was there to receive a biopsy on my leg. Before he began, I suggested to take the entire mass out right then, so I do not have to come back. Since it was right at the surface of my skin, and the doctor agreed and did so. He had seen this kind of mass many times, and said it was about 99% benign, and it was."
