Great doctor, spends time answering my questions, very knowledgeable. I feel very confident with Dr. Birdwell and put my treatment in his hands.

Also.......GREAT staff, employees, nurses, etc. I wouldn't have made it through chemo and Neulasta shots without Bonney by my side. Her shoulder is always available to whine/cry on.

They made me feel safe during an unpleasant journey.

Started seeing Dr. Birdwell in Sept. 2011 and I'm still seeing him for follow-ups.
