If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, a breast mass, or just need a second opinion, I highly…read morerecommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Robert Gardner. I was diagnosed with a breast mass, and fate lead me to the Palm Beach Breast Institute, where I met Dr. Gardner, a brilliant surgeon, who has spent his life researching breast cancer! He isn't just another doctor, who diagnoses and treats his patients, he is a talented breast surgeon whose research, innovative surgical techniques, and knowledge of breast cancer makes him the kind of expert you should look for if you are diagnosed! Before I scheduled my appointment, I asked my general practitioner what he thought of who I had chosen. His response was, "Dr. Gardner is a world renown breast expert, I can't possibly refer you to anyone better." That was all the advice I needed. From the first time I walked into his office, he made sure I understood my options, and and what each option entailed. He and his wonderful ultrasound technician, went through the ultrasound with me, showing me where the masses were and explaining the procedure. That was a first! Most ultrasound procedures are done without any involvement of the patient other than you laying there and being told when and how to move during the procedure, and then you wait...(tick tock, a week passes), while you worry what was found. I was 100% comfortable going forward. Before my surgery, the preop procedure of installing wire locators was a bit uncomfortable (because let's face it, wires in your boobs kinda hurt). But, his team was so loving and compassionate that I was smiling through it all. At the hospital he performed a partial mastectomy to remove 3 areas of concern. He spoke to me before the surgery, and made me feel at ease. Afterwards, I was given great advice on what types of bras I should wear, how to compress my boobs, how to clean the area, and what to expect. The scar left behind is another example of how talented he is; at 1.5 months post surgery, it is barely noticeable. Not just Dr.. Gardner, but the entire staff is truly brilliant and amazing. They care for you as if you are a close family member, and treat you like you are the only patient they have. None of that rush you in, rush you out, and send you off without knowing what is going on, like you find at many of the other practices. If you ever have a question, you can call and someone you actually know will answer the phone! I am so happy that I found the Palm Beach Breast Institute. I am cancer free, scar free (barely noticable), and a testimonial for why choosing the brightest, expert in breast cancer is the ONLY way to go!

The reason for my 2 star review is due to the lack of responsiveness to my calls from the nurse practitioner and/or her team. I've left several messages recently and never got a call back. It's been three weeks now!! If they can't work adequately as a team for cals like mine, I would not necessarily recommend them to anyone seeking care for their cancer diagnosis, especially if there are other institutions with much better reviews. Check out those places first. After reading the other reviews, it seems I'm not the only one who has had a bad experience with their poor communication.

scheduling with Jamie review: I am a former patient of Dr. Goodman and was previously seen at the…read moreWest Palm Beach office. Recently, my primary care physician referred me back to a hematologist, so I contacted Florida Cancer Specialists to schedule an appointment. Unfortunately, my experience with the scheduling department was extremely disappointing. The representative who answered, Jamie, was literally the worst phone receptionist I have ever encountered in my life. From the beginning of the call, she was dismissive, repeatedly interrupted me, talked over me, and would not allow me to explain the reason for my call. When I requested to speak with someone else, her tone became sarcastic and condescending rather than professional or helpful. What concerned me most was the complete lack of empathy, compassion, and customer service. Patients calling a hematology/oncology practice are often dealing with serious health concerns, frightening diagnoses, or significant anxiety. The way I was treated was the exact opposite of what patients should experience when reaching out for care. To Florida Cancer Specialists' credit, I filed a complaint and received a call back from supervisor Tammie. She listened to my concerns, apologized for the experience, and informed me that the phone call was being reviewed in hopes of preventing something similar from happening again. Tammie was professional, respectful, and compassionate, which was a complete contrast to my interaction with Jamie. My intention in leaving this review is not to criticize the physicians, as I have always had a positive impression of Dr. Goodman. In fact, I have heard wonderful things about Dr. Friedman and look forward to meeting with him. Rather, I hope management recognizes how important front-line staff interactions are, especially in an oncology setting where kindness, patience, empathy, and professionalism matter just as much as efficiency. I appreciate Tammie's response and willingness to address the issue, and I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future patients.

I have had them call to tell me I owe money, that's fine, but they are very snippy, act as if I'm purposefully ducking payments, despite never getting a statement before the call, nor does the front desk staff ask for payment. If it weren't for the clinical staff I'd go somewhere else for my hematology needs. I would not recommend going unless there is a major shake up with the support staff.

However, he has assured me that this is not a fly by night relationship and will be with me monitoring me for the rest of my life. Instead of the stoic, cold physician most say oncologists can be, he is warm and compassionate along with great knowledge of his field.

As you can imagine... he scared the H E double hockey sticks out of me! I was floored! To receive a referral out of the blue and by mail was overwhelming! The appointment had already been made for me with Dr. Sawhney. I trusted my life once again to the Great Physician, knowing He would put me in the best hands-- and He did! He's been practicing for many years; graduated from the Univ. College of Medical Sciences, Delhi Univ, New Delhi, Delhi, India in 1989. He works in Tamarac, FL and specializes in Hematology/Oncology. Dr. Sawhney is affiliated with Broward Health Coral Springs, Florida Medical Center a Campus of North Shore and Northwest Medical Center. He is professional, sensitive, soft-spoken and caring! The office building is located near University Hospital in Tamarac. Parking is a bit challenging, but the facilities are nice, and the staff is wonderful. The nurse was so sweet, and the phlebotomist who drew blood was the best I've had in a long long time. She found my vein from the get-go and she was very gentle. I was so happy, I gave her a Starbucks gift card! Dr. Sawhney was as perplexed as I was that I was there and said the referral was not only premature, but that they had skipped a step. I cried tears of relief, and he was professionally comforting. He set me up with a referral to a Gastroenterologist and I was thankful the staff made the appointment directly over the phone with the other specialist's office. Otherwise, it may have been several more weeks until I would have been able to set it up myself. My experience was 100% satisfactory and although this isn't the type of business that anyone wants to visit, should you need to, I highly recommend Dr. Sawhney. One last thing: Should you need to consult with an oncologist, please feel free to send me a short, to the point private message; no need for details. I want to pray and be whatever part of your support team you'll have me be. We're in this journey called life together--never alone!
