My father was treated here for gastric cancer. I wish I could say our experience matched the positive reviews I've seen. It did not. I feel the treatment he received was glib at best, and otherwise largely callous and indifferent. Initially, this doctor stressed attentiveness and open communication, but it quickly became apparent that was just lip service. Appointments felt rushed, and as my father's condition deteriorated, it became virtually impossible to get the doctor or even his nurse on the phone. Messages were rarely returned. This was as my father began having episodes that were later found to be indicative of cancer spreading to the brain. We voiced our concerns, but these were more or less dismissed, chalking it up to age and the effects of chemotherapy. It took him being rushed to emergency and undergoing a spinal tap to get to the bottom of it. By this time, it was too late. When my father passed, the doctor couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge or even offer condolences.
