Best Oncology Clinics Washington Near Me

Andrew Adelson: Waiting hours for medication to be delivered. Go elsewhere if you can. Apparently the pharmacist is not familiar with chemotherapy. Go figure.

Maria Antonieta Cabrera Mansilla Rodrigues: THE MEDICACION DELAYS TOO MUCH AND TO SCHEDULE IS HARD.THEY ARE CONFUSED.

Larry Howard: Some of the finest clinicians and nurses in the country. Works with in house and remote specialists from around the country to tailor care for the individual patient. Inpatient facility shows it’s age but the chemotherapy ward has attracted and maintains a staff second to none. When your oncologist calls you on the weekend to discuss your latest test results, you know it’s not just a job and you aren’t just a number. Complaints? Slow WiFi and inpatient food is not the best. Billing never seems to sort out secondary insurance until the second try.

M Reaves: Old facility that I hope I never have to visit as a patient. Typical big city hospital that deals more with volume than high quality care. Doctors have too many patients to efficiently manage.

joan stanfield: Dr Marshall is a brillant and caring doctor, hard to find both characteristics in one doctor!

Neveen Abel-Jalil: Have been a great facility throughout my 5 months treatment anywhere from the friendly staff, to clean bathrooms, to availability of supplies, and parking. Most significantly to note, is the wonderful nurses that have been nothing short of outstanding in their attention to detail, care, and knowledge. Wouldn’t be this positive or rested without them. I highly appreciate the work they do. Really recommend this facility.

Madelein Montes: While the Inova Schar cancer institute boasts an impressive new facility, new technologies and a comprehensive approach to cancer care, sadly it seems to have been at the expense of a commitment to quality patient care and attention. So far, the actual care and attention to existing patients has been disappointing. As someone who has a family member that has been receiving chemotherapy with Inova for over a year, the change in individualized patient care for us dramatically shifted once the infusion clinics and doctors offices moved to Inova Schar. Previously, the attention and care infusion patients would recieve was exceptional. From the friendly front desk staff, to the nurses and NPs who would stop into the room every few minutes to check up on patients and their families—the care and commitment to the patient was evident. Now, the same great nurses and staff are there, but sadly the increase in patient load has affected this once amazing patient care experience. The old infusion clinics would have about 15-20 rooms with patients to look after, but now, with the infusion floor at Schar, there can be easily 50 patients in rooms at one time. Sometimes you don’t even get a small room! You are put on a chair in the middle of the infusion clinic to receive your chemo. There is now less privacy, attention to detail, and care on the infusion floor. There is also an odd feeling of isolation throughout the halls and floors of Inova Schar; one that makes you feel increasingly like a number instead of a patient. The same lack of individualized patient care is seen when trying to do a simple task like trying to contact your medical team. Previously, patients could call their doctor’s office directly, easily speak to a nurse or get a call back. Now, calls are diverted to a call center first, and it is virtually impossible to speak with a nurse without a ridiculous hold time. Long gone are the days of simply calling your doctors main office or direct line to speak to someone. This beaurocratic process puts an unecessary burden on patients who are already going through so much and makes it easier for some to fall through the cracks. The smaller clinics and practices provided the quality of care one would expect a cancer patient to receive, but now, I’m not sure if that’s the same goal for Inova Schar, especially for existing patients.

TVI COMS: Completely inaccessible to persons who use public transit. The large facility is set back off Gallows and there are no sidewalks connecting the institute to Gallows. The drive off Gallows takes you through a wooded area. Those who don’t drive and have to use public transit cannot safely get to the buildings. Awful for those who are trying to stay active and independent by walking and taking the bus, or those who have no choice. INOVA did not put any bus stops in the facility and the 401 that runs off Gallows cannot be accessed because the long road has no accompanying sidewalks. Truly heartbreaking that Inova would exclude people from cancer treatment who rely off public transit or need to walk there. Clearly, this place is meant for those who only drive and not those of us who, due to our medical situation, cannot drive. Poorly planned and discriminatory. If you have to get radiation everyday, you will spend a lot on rides coming here. I ended up going to a different radiation facility about four miles from Inova that was accessible and my oncologist there said it is so important to get out and walk everyday. His office is on bus lines, with sidewalks to his building, and does not exclude those who don’t drive. Very sad Inova does not have the same mind set for equal access.

ermias merid: Beautiful building with enough parking space.

Susanna Crouch: Prestine new facility to launch in Q1/2 2019, campus is gorgeous and provides a truly cutting edge approach to cancer care. The CEO of the facility clearly has a passion for patients and a mission to provide innovative care with translational biomarker/genetics focus to direct treatment options. Patients can expect this facility to be a comprehensive approach with all functional capabilities on one campus (lab, imaging, surgery, genetics testing, office visits, patient navigation, specialty pharmacy etc)

Nadia Khokhar: The med assistants at this practice are great!

Dayna Rowden: Great place with a great mission.

Marina: Art, creativity, support & love♥️♥️♥️

Steve Kosker: The radiation oncology people are absolutely terrific to deal with. They are accommodating and understanding. Very helpful in dealing with the side effects, sometimes it seems they are more concerned about my pain than I am myself. Highly recommend. Would give 6 stars out of 5 if I could.

Tony Rogers: This exp sucked. But the people were awesome. I mean your dragging in there everyday and you forget sometimes why you are there. Greatstaff

Donna Melotti: DR. HANLEY WAS THE BEST! Recommended him to several people

Peggy Oates: Pleasant staff, attentative, patient and friendly.

KeKe: They are wonderful group of people.
