- I have always been very pleased with all of the staff and services at the Cancer Center. The way they treat each and every patient with love and kindness. Is amazing. And the knowledge and experience they share is heartwarming and reassuring. I recommend that facility to everyone. I have other friends who have been threw the same things and unfortunately did not receive the care I did and are no longer with us. The Methodist Cancer Team Saved my life. And continue to provide me with more care and love. Thank you for all you do for everyone that comes through those doors.

- Dr. Su and his staff was very friendly and professional. Made me feel comfortable. Definitely would recommend them.
- Street construction made it difficult to navigate to the right place on the hospital campus. Might want to warn patients from out of town.
- Everyone is helpful and friendly.
- Thank you, Dr. Su!!!!! I see each core value that is listed each time I have an appointment.
- Really appreciate and like DrSu
- Everything has gone great so far.
- The whole office communication is quick and smooth. I know they have my best interest. I feel so taken care of during this stressful time!
- The check in was okay, but not as friendly as some of your other locations I’ve frequented.
- Staff is always very courteous and helpful. Katie is the best! Dr Su & Couflin are always willing to take as much time as I need.
- This is the best hospital we have ever visited. Everyone we dealt with was fabulous!! The Dr. and the team of nurses and all the staff made us feel so comfortable. We are so happy that we were referred to Bergan Mercy!! The only problem that we had was finding where we were supposed to be going. We used google maps to find the hospital. I would put in the address that we needed to go to, the name of the building, all the information I could think of and both times we came to Bergan, we were directed to the back of a hospital building on Pacific. The first time we were there, we parked a long distance from the Procedure Center where we were going. We asked a nurse that was coming in for work if she could tell us how to get there. She said she could not tell us how to get there, she was going to walk us there!!! One more thing....I received a Thank You card from the staff in the GI unit thanking me for letting them take care of me!!! Hand signed by all the girls!!

- everyone seems to do a good job.
- Dr Panwar and Dr Su are excellent. Their staff members are first class. The facilities are busy in a good way. Everyone is paying attention, they seem like they are enjoying what they do. This is important to me as a patient because caring is a verb. It is something one can feel is happening to them. Being cared for. Today marked by 2 year checkup after diagnosis. Thank you to everyone at NCS for what you did for me.
- Dr. Su is wonderful! Lynn is a very helpful scheduler.
- Great place to go for oncology. They were very informative and helpful while putting me at ease.
- Dr. Su is wonderful. I wish all doctors had his kindness, compassion, and patience in discussing health concerns with their patients. He talks with his patients in a manner that is evident that he truly cares about them, as people, not just a patient. As someone who suffers from anxiety, he immediately sets me at ease. Dr. Su always makes sure to answer EVERY question- no matter what. It is clear he cares enough to make sure there is no confusion in what the results revealed and what our next steps will be. As I stated, I have anxiety and I come with a lot of questions, but he never makes me feel as if any of them are silly or not important. Dr. Su is the model of what all doctors should be. He deserves the highest praise.
- Great job!!!
- Excellent place for medical care Dr. Su is one of the best doctors in the world kept me alive and I’m doing good

- The provider was very patient and expressed interest in me. All questions were answered and he did an excellent job of easing my fears. His medical assistant was also very good and listened to me. I felt very comfortable with this practice.
- Everything went really smooth, Dr. Su and his nurse were very easy to talk to!!
- Dr. Su is great!
