Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center

The Cancer Center care staff always goes above and beyond in providing exceptional care. They were attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I feel supported and well taken care of throughout my short stays. Thank you! I don’t remember everyone name but the few people that goes above & beyond for me is Nurse Alyssa, Nurse Rhonnie Nurse celeste, & Nurse Missy. these nurses are the Best!! They never miss my vein when doing my IV, and I’m a very Hard Stick! I’m so used to have multiple sticks just to get my Iv in my arm but with them I always feel so comfortable! Also I want to extend my Thanks to Mrs. Claire Auxiliary Volunteer for the snack carts & last but certainly not Least the techs named Tech Britney, Tech Karena , & Tech Mani “KT or TK” that’s his nickname I’m not sure his real name & I don’t want to get it wrong. There’s one more person Tess is a musician w/ a Ukulele I love when she goes around singing & teaching us to play. Anyway These guys at the cancer center are always incredibly supportive and compassionate. They provide top-notch medical care and emotional support every time!. I always feel truly cared for and grateful for their expertise and kindness.

The oncology services are the leader in the Big Bend region for cancer care, research, education and prevention. With a highly trained medical team, they provide exceptional, compassionate and multidisciplinary cancer care, right here at home.

What a wonderful place. Everyone from the front door to the back is kind courteous and careling. The staff has been sensitive and engaged. I know they are speaking to me not my illness. I walked in feeling hopeless, I walked out blessed.

Very polite, professionalism, clean, friendly staff, feels welcoming..thanks & blessings to everyone who works here :)

When you walk in the lobby of TMCC there is a sign that says, "Kindness Lives Here." They live up to this motto. I am currently undergoing treatment at TMCC and I cannot speak enough about the kindness and empathy shown by every staff member, from the ladies at the many desks to PCA's to the doctors. You are greeted by nearly everyone you pass as you make your way through the building. I can't count the number of times I have seen and/or experienced staff offer to push someone in a wheelchair to their destination. Dr. Fitzsimmons is phenomenal and is a doctor that listens to her patients. The infusion nurses are so wonderful. In an area that you would think would be solemn you hear laughter all the time. I cannot recommend TMCC enough. Kindness DOES live there.

in the summer and fall of 2020, I underwent 6 months of chemotherapy and radiation treatment for throat cancer. Drs. Perez and Marina were excellent in their clinical expertise and care and concern for my family providing support and information. Dana Miles R.N, my patient navigator was a godsend in being with me every step of the way and assisting with appointments both inside and outside the center. Always having a kind word for me and helping me through some tough times. The radiation lab staff were tremendous as were the infusion staff. The nurses in the infusion area were quite literally, angels. Caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, clinically skilled in administering IV's, chemotherapy, blood drawing, and making sure all my needs were met-just amazing people. I am still seeing Drs. Perez and Marina for follow-up care and am always treated with care and concern. A special shout-out to Julie at the front desk for her cheerfulness and assistance on every visit. And to Sharon, one of the great R.N's in infusion for great book recommendations. Thank you to all the staff of TMH Cancer Care Center.

One of the few good experiences I've had. I have never waited more than 20 min for any service, Dr's , lab , radiation, or Chemo. Everyone is kind and helpful. Everything is setup to make it as pleasant as possible for ur treatment. I'm very thankful for the staff and their compassion

My son was treated for multiple myeloma for one year and is in remission. This place is wonderful. His doctor is Dr Perez and he is the best. His nurse and patient navigator are very special. I would recommend this place to everyone and I'm so glad it was our choice. Everyone works together at Tallahassee Memorial for the benefit of the patient. Thanks for going above and beyond!

I've been seeing Dr. Jain since September of 2021 and I couldn't be more pleased. Everyone goes above and beyond with their kindness and attention. When I've had questions I always receive a call back within the hour. I'm so glad I found this place and can't even think of anything that would make a place better.

I have had 4 treatments of chemo and everyone is caring and does a great job of taking care of me. Everyone in the lab and infusion is top notch. Dr. Ellison is the exact doctor for me and my ovarian cancer along with her staff. I would not go anywhere else.

Loved the personal one on one care that all staff, nurses, and Dr give. Loved the set up flow, and the privacy of treatment area. Everyone was very attentive to my care and treatment needs.

I was referred to Radiation Oncologist Dr Raj Bendre here by my Urologist, Dr. Charles Yowell (a TMH Physician Partner in private practice) and I believe they have saved my life.

I was extremely skeptical when my PSA got high as all research indicated that prostate cancer is way overtreated in the US. But I was too skeptical, and went through several urologists, including experts at one of the most prestigous clinics in the country, before finding Dr Yowell here in Tallahassee. He took the time to explain what was going on in the great detail I needed. Despite being a surgeon, he explained exactly why surgery would probably not be successful due to the advanced stage of my cancer (prostate fuses to other organs and separation causes a lot of damage) and referred me to Dr Bendre.

Dr. Bendre then spent over an hour with me answering every question and showing me the research on the Internet that supported his judgement. I was convinced.

Dr. Bendre, his nurse Maci, the radiation techs like Kori and Nick, the receptionist Julie and everyone else there have daily gone above and beyond what I've experienced anywhere else to not only provide exceptional medical care, but to care for me as a person. Those expressions of caring gave me hope, and may make the difference in my recovery.

Having completed 44 treatments, we now wait a few months to see how well it worked. Regardless of the outcome, I've no doubt I've received the best of care.

There are no better healthcare people, and there is no better place to heal than TMCC.

UPDATE - 3 weeks later
Got a PSA which we expected to still be high while prostate heals from the radiation, but it's already down to 0.4! (virtually cured) If you are in this situation, get a referral to Dr Charles Yowell, Urologist (in private practice in Tallahassee) and if he says surgery is not likely to be successful, consider radiation treatment from Dr Bendre, Radiation Oncologist at Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center.

They helped me through the whole process of cancer from diagnosing me, to treating me, to knowing how to make me feel special, to getting me back on my feet when I was successfully l cured. They are great people and a special thanks to Gloria for all her help and support through my journey.
