Patient Stories

Since I have never smoked, I was shocked to find out I had inoperable stage 4 lung cancer. I was referred to Dr. Li Zhang's office at Northwest Medical Specialties (NWMS). Because of her extensive knowledge and dedication to the latest research, I felt that I would receive excellent guidance and care. Dr Li Zhang, along with her wonderful staff, planned, explained and scheduled all of my tests, scans and appointments. Within days, my individualized treatment began and I went from being in constant pain and feeling lost and hopeless, to feeling more like my old self again with renewed energy and hope for the future! I'm still going to Dr. Zhang for my treatment and feel so thankful for the care provided. If you are struggling with a cancer diagnosis and don't know where to turn, I highly recommend calling Dr. Zhang at NWMS for an appointment.

All the staff here is wonderful! But Kristin is a step above in patient care. She's extremely kind, patient and understanding with genuine empathy and compassion . I'm very thankful to have her as part of my care team.

We had a very good experience with our appointment, we were so glad to get in to see the doctor!

Kristen Mellen ARNP is a true asset to NW Medical. She has wonderful people skills and explains things in a manner that is understandable. She takes her time, listens, compassionate, funny, and is a pleasure to see on your visit. Thank you! T.Ewing

I go here for my infusions, the staff is always warm and friendly. I am able to get appointments that are convenient for me. I go every week so it's nice to have the same consistency.

I cannot say enough good things about my village at this office. My treatment was hard & lengthy, but they carried me through it. Now that I'm showing no signs of cancer, they are still here for me with such support when concerns come up. Thank you NWMS for taking such good care of me.

I love Dr Blau. I use the portal to ask questions or concerns much faster.

Dr Manas Agastya is amazing! He explained everything so clearly and has just been wonderful to work with.

I am very grateful to be referred to DR LI ZHANG . Her knowledge in her area of expertise is exemplary. DR LI ZHANG arranged all necessary blood work, pathology and diagnostic procedures expeditiously for an accurate diagnosis. In a matter of days, all my diagnostic procedures and liquid blood test were completed and my Targeted Therapy began shortly after. I have been only in her care for a month and I am feeling very positive and hopeful.

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!
