    My best friend has been receiving care for cancer for almost three past 8 months. They have been…read morekind, caring, patient, and thorough in taking care of her. Every time I visited her here they're always having a good time with my friend and cheering her up.

    Our doctor was originally Dr. Alemany. Because of the type of cancer my friend had we were…read moretransferred to Dr. Mekhail. Let me start off by saying that when you have cancer it is never easy, but everyone here really tried to do their best to treat us with respect, care and professionalism. There is not much these people can do to change your circumstances but they do try to make their part as painless as possible. Dr. Mekhail's administrative assistant, Teri, is incredible. She keeps a thousand balls up in the air at once and never drops one of them. She comes to the phone when you call, she sets up all of your appointments for their office as well as for scans and blood work or any other testing done outside of their office. She has incredible follow through and she knows who you are when you call or come in. Thank You Teri. Dr. Mekhail's nurse and now part of the protocol research team is Tammy. During the first few appointments Tammy showed such kindness, patience, grace and offered us so much comfort that we will be eternally grateful. She was also full of information and little tips of how to deal with what was going to be happening. Thank You Tammy. In the chemo room a special thank you to Robert and Mel and there was one other woman, a black woman who I apologize - I don't know her name, who treated my friend with such tenderness and warmth AND expertise. You all made the rigors of chemo palatable. Thank you. There are times you will wait. They are incredibly busy. My friend grew impatient at the wait at times, understandably so, she was usually in pain, exhausted, nauseous and anxious. For me, sitting in the chair next to her, I understood the waits. So, There but for the grace of God go I, if I were diagnosed with cancer tomorrow would I go to the Cancer Institute of Florida? Yes, I would. Thank you all for your care during a difficult time.

    I have had amazing experiences with all of the nurses here...Marilyn, masey , Hanna, and those I…read morecan't remember their names. This is specifically about the nurse I had today. Her name is Kate (the nurse with her was awesome as well, but again, I forgot her name) Today was a hard day for me...chemo days suck. She was pleasant, way funny, caring, all of the things that make a great nurse and she has the "it" factor of healthcare. Florida Cancer Center you are so lucky to have her and your patients (especially this one) want to make sure you know how great she is. Oh and she gave me this cool pen when I complemented it. She didn't know this, but I have a collection of unique pens and just love pens and paper in general so it made a crappy day a little less so.

    My stage IV cancer was handled with complete professionalism by doctors and staff. Receiving chemo…read moreevery week for 11 months gives me a good perspective in making that comment. I had stage III cancer 17 yeras ago, unrelated to this case, and received traetment *up north* and recovered with the same professionalism here at Florida Cancer Specialists. Any complaints? Check-out needs a system upgrade, check-in also for that matter. Also at check-out I don't need the employees proselytizing so forcefully. Don't put out in front of me your church refrigerator magnets, Jesus is an answer cards, faith crosses, angels, etc. Put that on your desk if you want but do not force your beliefs on me. They make you move these items over in order to make next appointment. Maybe this is a religious institution run by some religious order that I don't know about. I don't do that to you and I expect the same.
