Patient Stories

I have been working in the medical field for over 20 years and have know of Dr. Senecal and his work for about 15 years. But, I truly did not realize how special he and his team were until my mother was diagnosed with cancer and he began caring for her. He is very knowledgeable in his practice and displays such kindness to his patients. I am truly thankful for what he has done for my mother, and she too feels that she now has a second chance at life. Thank you Dr. Senecal and team!

I have been seeing Dr. McCroskey for a year to treat my CLL. What a well trained and personable physician!! All staff are super nice and professional. A++ rating.

I saw Dr. Kanaan for a very short time, just enough to receive iron infusions and then to ultimately have bone marrow and diagnosis of Multiple Myeloma. All my meetings with him were via Zoom. That is, except the biopsy, in which I did not get to look him in the eye or truly meet him. All that said, I could tell he is such a knowledgeable and caring man. I was blessed to have him as my hematologist. We recently moved to Arizona and will see a new set of doctors down here for treatment. I am thankful for all Dr. Kanaan did for me.

Ellen Hanisch is pretty awesome! She understands the fear we get with a lump, that some doctors would laugh and say " Big Deal." Each and every lump we feel is scary! I have had lots of chemotherapy and radiation therapy and then two years ago I got a different kind of cancer so had a mastectomy! Ellen and Dr. Chaves have been good! Especially Ellen!

If you are looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate oncologist/hematologist, Dr Martin would be my first choice hands down. She shows caring interest not only in your disease and treatment but also and most importantly you as a person.

Catherine Maskell- She is wonderful and was so kind to me and her follow up was wonderful. She and Dr. Senecal were so caring and spent the time I needed to explain things. She is just the Best as is Dr. Senecal!

Cherie Smith.. Thank you.. for taking the time to talk with us and listening to our story. Since John was diagnosed with cancer September 16... you were the first medical professional doctor that listened to our story and saw John and I as hurting people that needed someone to listen to our story.... and not just a name.. the old school way❤️

I just celebrated my 65th birthday. When I started my 3rd journey with cancer, my previous provider at another facility told me I would live at least 18 months and probably not longer than 3 years. I am coming up to the end of year five. Dr. Blau leads my team of providers. I have been blessed with a great Trial Coordinator, a phenomenal PA that follows me and staff overall that constantly goes the extra mile. Having metastatic cancer can always provide challenges in so many different directions and I cannot think of another group of professionals I would want involved in my care.

Hi there. I'm a new patient of Dr. Senecal's and had my first appointment yesterday in Tacoma. We arrived a half hour late (we thought our appointment started an hour later), but Dr. Senecal still made the appointment happen, and I deeply appreciate that. I also appreciate the staff for allowing my husband to be with me during my appointment. I've been having a lot of memory issues from chemo and hormonal therapy, so it's important I have a "second brain" in those settings. The young woman who did my bloodwork was also very sweet. I just wanted to communicate my gratitude 🙂 Thanks so much everyone!

I currently see Dr. Kanaan in Puyallup Wa. I am from Great Falls Montana! What a coincidence.
