Patient Stories

I have been a patient at NWMS for the past 6 years. I am alive today because of the compassionate, kind, and progressive thinking of doctors, PA's, nurses and and all the staff. If you or a family member end up with cancer, NWMS should be the first place you stop to seek help!

NWMS definitely has the best team working for all of us everyday.

Kellie S. LPN thank you for your sympathetic ears and helpful advices, you are the best of nurses I ever encountered, thank you again.💖

Dona J. every time I walk in to the NWMS I see your smiling face and kind instructions to all, most of us needs that encouragement as we walking in for Oncology services, Thank you from all of us who is walking this path from bottom of my ❤heart.

My husband and I would like to acknowledge Ari King. She has been incredible in scheduling my husband for his appointments. She is always ready to do anything to help with our busy schedules. Thank you Ari for your wonderful attitude.

We would to acknowledge Tia Ramirez ARNP for Dr. Chaves. We don't know what we would do without her. She is always available. I must of been a pain when my husband was in the hospital - constantly emailing asking questions. I am always amazed at the patience that the personnel continues to show. Thanks Tia for everything you do.

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!
