Oncologists - Scranton, PA

"This office is comprised of the absolute worst staff with whom you could ever have the displeasure of dealing. The negligence and incompetence of this practice is beyond the pale. If you would like to deal with a lack of communication and its corresponding confusion during your cancer treatment, which, of course, is likely one of the most difficult times of your life, then become a patient here. Throughout the last several months, we've had to deal with: (1) the incorrect dosage of medication being prescribed, resulting in an infection lasting an additional two weeks and a delay in the start of treatment, (2) office staff forgetting to schedule appointments, (3) office staff neglecting to order blood work, (4) office staff forgetting to pass along messages to the doctor, (5) office staff canceling an appointment and failing to notify the patient, and (6) another doctor's office getting frustrated with the slow response of Chamoun's office and scheduling their own appointments for Chamoun's patient. If you're seeing this doctor, then you have cancer, not an inconsequential canker sore; and the last thing you need is the aggravation, confusion, and fear that Dr. Chamoun's negligent staff with certainly instill in you. I do not know if this office is understaffed and overworked, incompetently managed, or employs people without the requisite skills to succeed in an oncology practice; however, I do know that the frequency of errors may contribute to a patient's death so hopefully this doctor begins to run a more professional practice, the kind of practice that delivers the level of care a cancer patient should expect to receive. Rather, you can expect to be filled with dread each and every time this office is involved with your care, and you can expect a myriad of excuses each and every time they fall short of meeting the minimum standard of care any reasonable person would expect to receive. I would never recommend this doctor because you deal with his incompetent staff more than you deal with him. "
