Patient Comments
Dr. Cann iis very caring and open to discussing my treatments with me and what works best. He's very accommodating and that way.
Went to ER had emergency surgery for colon cancer. Nightmare!! This oncologist was AMAZING! He took so much time to explain everything! Very grateful!! Start chemo soon.
Exemplary!
Dr Cann is amazing. Very Blessed to have him as my Oncologist.
I have always felt like a person, not a Patient. It is a very important part of my experience.
