All good!
I checked in early, was called back to the consultation room early, and Dr. Badolato came in early, was thorough, and I still left in a very short amount of time. I appreciate when medical personnel respect the value of my time. Well done!

From my first inquiry with Shannon; her assisting me with my forms; meeting the staff; and introduction to Dr B I had nothing short of stellar support. The infusion staff were courteous, compassionate and friendly. An outstanding group of professionals. Were I to be in the area long term I feel positive this would be my oncologist of choice. They quickly become healthcare family.

Chemotherapy was not a word in my vocabulary.
The meaning would soon be very clear. I was afraid but everyone there from first contact made me feel that I was in good hands. The process is kind of complicated but knowing they had so much experience put me at ease. Everyone’s experience is different. Ask the nurses and Dr Badaloto before you believe everything you read on line. I just want to thank them all for the amazing care I received. My story ended on a positive note hoping I never have to be treated again. If I do I am going back to the Cancer Care Center of Brevard

My thoughts are that Dr.B. was listening, not rushed, asked questions…HEARD My answers and then gave me his thoughts. I did some blood work and called me even though I was due back to review findings. The news was good he wanted to share it as soon as he could. This experience was exceptional and I wish all my Drs. were like this. Why aren’t they? Thanks Dr. B.

Friendly Smile in a Unfamiliar Circumstance
Dr. Badolato has always had a great "bedside manner" especially when I first went there. At the time I was unaware that you went to a Cancer Care Center for other things besides Cancer. Until I went that was on my mind. I know what to expect when I go and I don't dread the experiance.
