Provide a print out of what the sessions will be and how many.

The building was a little difficult to find, I had to drive all around the parking lots until I saw a small sign above the door with my doctor's name. I didn't see a number on the building, or on the sign in front, or the business name anywhere.

2020

Having cancer, surgery, radiation,and on chemo pill is scary and every pain in the breast scares you. Dr Gittleman answers every question and helps to reassure my concerns. One of few doctors who says call me any time you have a question or a concern, and she means it. She is one in a million.

2020

Every person I have met who is connected with this practice is simply fantastic. The one thing that would have improved my experience is to never have cancer again.

the service was excellent

2020

I was well taken care of but I felt like they could have discussed a copay with me or something. They gave me no amount so I don't know what I'm paying - that really puzzled me. So, thank you.

2020

I was very nervous for the initial visit, and knew I would forget a lot of the information shared. Of the 10-11 physicians I met with during my cancer journey, this is the only physician that did not allow me to record our conversation. Knowing that my thinking was not in line with the treatment course that was suggested, I was surprised the physician did not recommend another doctor that perhaps could offer a treatment choice that was more in line with what I was looking for. There are many ways to tackle cancer, and I feel that the provider should clearly offer their opinion and treatment plan, but not close doors for the patient before they have the opportunity to explore all options and then make an educated choice. At the end of the day, I was fortunate to find another provider within your organization that did go through all my choices in detail and allowed me to make my own decision, based on my personal needs.

2020

I was greeted properly, courteously in a timely manner. Dr. Gittleman saw me in a timely manner and spent much time explaining everything and listening, and answering my questions - I was very pleased.

2020

My care was exceptional as always.
