I finished my 5 years of treatment and now only have to return in a year. I never had any complaints with my treatments during that time. However I liked having the blood drawn in the office before the visit. Having it done a week before the visit is time consuming and frustrating at times.

I have already recommended Dr. Alsamarai to others. She is a great doctor. She was thorough, and explained things and didn't get frustrated when my daughter asked silly questions.

Dr Alsamari is the best. She goes above and beyond the rest to make sure you are well taken care of and comfortable. Always keeps you abreast of what’s going on and new treatments that become available.

Having cancer is not easy, but Dr Alsamarai helped me tremendously. She’s kind, knowledgeable and really cares for her patients. I had some complications, but she was able to help me through them and make me more comfortable. She really listens and doesn’t make you feel rushed or like you’re a number. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs an oncologist. She’s amazing.

I have been a patient in this group for 15+ years now. Doctors and staff are very pleasant, they take the time to listen and are very helpful. I have seen other doctors outside of this group and they just dont have the same mannerisms and you get the feeling of being a number and not a person. I would highly reccomend this group.
