My experience was the worst I have ever had with a doctor and nurse!!! They were not caring and rude!! I was sent there by My Gastritis Doctor?? The questions that the Doctor asked me he knew the answer already and knew more then I did and really felt that he was drilling me!!!! I will never return to Premier- Health Cancer Center again!!!!!!

I am disappointed with the outcome of my consultation. I had hoped to have ablation of my liver lesions. I now realize that I don't fit the profile. I realize that I never have and in this lifetime, I never will.
