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!

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.
