Patient reviews
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.

"Patient had to compare her previous experiences in order to understand how high quality city of hope is . Without it human beings can't appreciate great unfortunately. Put it this way , everything is perfect about our doctor and his team , starting with nurses who grabs bag with portable purewick from me and ending up with doctor who triple check all boxes if previous care in order to move forward with patient who is in front of him oh and yes they are very good to read people and their problems . Their look in the eyes different from other doctors who has God complex and dismiss what patient has to say . Thank you from my heart for my mom to city of hope"
