    An overall great experience. I am so glad that I chose to stay with Sinai Cancer Center rather than to follow my previously recommended oncologist who chose to switch her practice to Johns Hopkins at Greenspring Station!

    The access to the cancer center is ridiculously hard. It is not accessible from the garage and there is no easy way for handicap people to get to this office unless they are dropped off at the front door. Need access direct from the garage next to the building.

    The doctor was very knowledgeable about my health issues. She also noted that I was supposed to have had follow up appointments with my surgeon's office, which I have never had in over two years. She contacted that office and I received a call from them the same day. She's very personable and professional.

    It was wonderful experience. The provider spent a lot of time with me and actually examined my body for any abnormalities which could be suspicious for cancer. She sent an order to Advanced Radiology for a CT scan to be done. I absolutely appreciated that order.
