Malik had no bedside manner and lacked confidence

Review for Dr. Malik

On a Sunday Dr. Malhotra came to see me in the hospital, and it could not have been a more productive and informative visit. I am very pleased now to have him on my team for further tests and follow up.

Review for Dr. Malhotra

Doctor Ring has shown exceptional care and compassion towards me. Despite receiving unsettling news, she swiftly alleviated my fears and ensured that I felt heard and understood. In my experience, I have not encountered an oncologist who listens and devotes as much attention to my case as she does....

Review for Dr. Ring

She listens to you, explains everything to you so you can understand, takes her time with you, and is the nicest down to earth person.

My mother had her brain cancer care with Dr. Sheehan and his team. We could not have been more pleased with his care.
