Stanford Cancer Center Palo Alto

I am sure the doctors are great there but good luck scheduling your appointment if you don't have cancer and just need reconstruction surgery or second opinion. Scheduling takes hours then it will be cancelled. You , by stupid policies, cannot schedule appointments with two doctors, plastic surgeons to have second opinion. Appointments are booked if no cancer 2-5 months ahead. I will update after my appointment

Reconsider your options to come here. Your life , in my opinion, is safer elsewhere. Following a series of mishaps , errors , lost results, lack of proper screening, the pain and suffering we endured from this cancer centre was immense. My twin sister, whom I write this post in service of, eventually died a tragic death at age 37.

Giving a great hospital a great review is kind of pointless. This is specifically about the quality of treatment I received with my one-week stay in the H wing of the 300 building. Cancer treatment seldom brings smiles to many faces. I do expect to receive the best possible care from the primary care team, that's why I chose them to deal with my cancer. The general quality of care I received from the nursing/RT and housekeeping staff are so far above expectations it's unreal. I never experienced or saw anything but positive, uplifting interactions PERIOD. Even the guys that empty the trash were cordial. With as good as the general care I received was, 5 people went so far over the top, I have to consider them friends I would go out of my way for. Patty, Alex, Pearl, Socrates, and especially Cathy made what should have been a very scary time, as pleasurable as possible, and I will be forever grateful for the treatment I received from them. As a SBO I know what a challenge it is to find good, never mind great help. I hope the administrators at Stanford realize how lucky and fortunate they are to have such great staff members hey can rely on.

Your infusion center front desk associates could be more productive and attentive of people. After coming in to check in for chemo and labs. Lab work was completed and my wife and I sat and waited for her 2 pm appointment. Labs were done at 12:40pm. We continued to wait and wait until we noticed 7-10 patients after we first checked in go back before us. At 2:10pm we were then told by the same guy that checked us in initially that you have to check in twice. Here we sit at 2:30pm finally getting started as we have now wasted almost 2 hours of waiting. Seriously what a joke. Your redwood center is way more organized and have had zero issues with them for 3 treatments. Now we switch to this center and first time we have an issue.
