Dreiling Schmidt Cancer Institute

April 2019

The staff at the cancer center has been wonderful. They have been such a help and support through my cancer. The gals in radiation have been very sweet and professional. I am happy with my treatment at the cancer center. Great Job!

I have the upmost respect and faith in my doctors and staff. Everyone is kind, caring and compassionate. I could not ask for a better place to be taken care of.

I have had a very good radiation treatment and love the staff everyone was so friendly first time I walked in. 19 years ago I had radiation here and had a coroat treatment. Dr Harrison is an awesome caring doctor and answered all questions all the nurses all techs involved were so great. You have an awesome radiation unit with caring people.

Dr. Harrison praised his team when I complimented him on how well he and the crew worked. Good man with explanations.

The radiation oncology team has felt like MY TEAM! From my first contact with Brenda – who always greets me by first name and with a smile, to my final treatment with Andrea and Melissa, efficient, friendly, caring and patient-centered appointments have made me comfortable in an alien environment. Yay, Team!

The radiation oncology team is amazing. Nothing less than stellar! From the time you walk in the front doors greeted by Brenda, then Andrea, Hayley, Melissa are all so warm and welcoming. They all truly invest in creating a relationship with their patients. Dr. Harrison is top notch. He’s kind and easy to talk to. He takes his time to listen and make sure he understands exactly what you are saying to provide the best care. With this team you know you are always top priority. Cancer is scary and can easily be discouraging, but with a care team like this, they take all the stress and worry away and help you feel comfortable and confident.

It is very nice to come in and be greeted by your first name by Stephanie and Brenda. Melissa, Andrea and Haley all have welcoming smiles, as do Stephanie and Brenda and they always ask how I’m doing and when I’ve come back from my weekend home they always ask how my weekend was. Susie and Danielle are also caring and have smiles for the patients. Emilie is a very caring social worker and visits with family and patients. Dr. Harrison is a wonderful doctor and I’m glad that I got him for my radiation oncologist. He’s very caring and ensures that he does the very best for his patients.

The care I received was excellent. All the doctors and nurses were concerned about how I felt. I appreciated appointments that were never rushed, phone calls returned quickly and questions answered thoroughly. The kind words and reassuring touch was always calming and a comfort. Thank you for all you’ve done for me.

Thank you for always getting us in to see my mother. The staff has always been very considerate. We are very fortunate to have great doctors (Dr. Rodriguez) and others in our surrounding towns.

Medical Oncology
Exceptional care and concern of all personnel concerning all of my visits to HaysMed. Dr. Accurso, an excellent representative of HaysMed oncology. Any and all questions and concerns answered with professional and patient concern answers.

Dr. Accurso was very good, pleasant. A pleasure to know. Answered my questions accurately and thoroughly.

Very nice and helpful.

I enjoyed meeting Dr. Accurso. He was kind and sensitive. When I asked about a test taken last year, he looked up the information and discussed the finds with me. He’s a great addition to Dreiling/Schmidt. I also want to say that I appreciate the staff at the Breast Care Clinic. They are very sensitive to what the patient may be going through. I’ll always come to them, when it’s time for my annual mammogram.

Radiation Oncology
All of the associates in the Radiation Oncology Dept are excellent assets to HaysMed. Their care and compassion for patients is outstanding. Melissa, Andrea, Hayley and Suzie should be recognized for their care and compassion.

The staff in radiation oncology are some of the most friendly and accommodating I have had the opportunity to work with. Just an excellent staff that work in radiation oncology. Thank all of you.

I have been very pleased with the caring and concern they all have been giving me. They are very helpful in getting me in and out of our vehicle. Medically they are doing very well at figuring out what I need and seeing to it that it is done promptly. Thanks to a wonderful staff: Melissa, Haley, Andrea, Suzie and Dr. Harrison – Thanks.

I am very happy with the services I am receiving at your facility. Everyone that I have come in contact with cares deeply about me and it makes me very comfortable. I would recommend your facility to anyone who may need your services. Thanks again and keep up the good work you provide.

Over my lifetime I have spent a lot of time in various hospitals for a number of reasons. My latest and best experience with knowledgeable caring medical staff has been and continues to be at HaysMed as an outpatient in Radiation Oncology. Dr. Lyle Harrison and his team of outstanding nurses consisting of Andrea, Melissa, Hayle and Suzie have been the best team I have found. They have been great at keeping me calm and informed about my treatment. Many thanks for staffing your facility with this caliber of medical professionals.

The staff is the best, from the front office to all the ladies in the treatment area. If every office had the people this office does more people would go the doctor.

These ladies made all the difference to me all through the treatment. They all need a raise; they are the best staff I have ever had at any place that I have been to. Dr. Harrison is friendly and knows what he is talking about and not afraid to listen to you and tell you what is what.

The radiation oncology department at HaysMed is wonderful. Dr. Harrison is so calming and makes sure you understand what radiation is and how they are going to help you go through the program. Dr. Harrison’s nurse Susie is also calming and always willing to answer questions and help you. The three radiation technicians, Haley, Andrea and Melissa are very kind, friendly and efficient. Everything is always ready for you so you spend as little time as possible in treatment. They are also very helpful . Andreas even helped me to my car on an icy day. Because of the departments expertise, radiation was not as bad as I had anticipated.

Susie, Andrea, Melissa, Haley, Dr. Harrison and Dr. Rodriguez are such an amazing team. They have made my cancer diagnosis much more bearable and pleasant. They care!!!

I am very pleased with the treatment that I am getting from HaysMed during my time with breast cancer. They doctors, nurses, receptionists, aides and others were extremely competent, helpful and caring. All combined for wonderful care. I am grateful the cancer was found early and treated quickly although I’m confident I would have received the same care had it been more advanced. Thank you HaysMed!

The entire staff at Dreiling Schmidt Cancer Institute Radiation Oncology have made this unfortunate experience something to be dealt with much easier. The smiles help to start my day off on the best foot, even though the treatment for my cancer is a scary situation. Thank you all.

Rhonda – she worked diligently on getting the proper paperwork completed on my treatments. She is a very caring employee. HaysMed is fortunate to have her.

Dr. Hill is a very caring doctor. He is very persistent on making sure the patient gets the treatment they want and need and does not want his patients in pain. We highly recommend Dr. Hill.

I have received excellent care during all my appointments. The staff and doctors were very helpful with my care. I would highly recommend this facility. The care was great.

How in the world do you expect me to point out exceptional people in an organization when they are all exceptional. Why do I say that? I have never been treated any better at any place than the radiation therapy (Oncology) department at Hays Med. They were all very caring, concerned, hardworking, professional and overall exceptional. They all tried to make me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation, and I say they succeeded very well!

My radiation went smooth I am thankful for all the girls back there. Melissa, Beth, there are two others that are back there both great. They are blonde can’t remember their names. Donna at front desk is so helpful. All the girls have been wonderful. Thank you so much for all you have done for me.

The team you have assembled together on the radiological side of treatment is nothing short of AMAZING. They make dealing with this disease a whole lot more tolerable. Brenda, Andrea, Melissa, Suzie and Haley are truly my “Angels”. I Thank God for placing them in my life to treat and overcome prostate cancer!!

The entire staff of Dreiling Schmidt Cancer Institute has treated me very good.

We have felt very blessed by the time we entered the doors until leaving. Each one from the receptionist, nurses, technicians, doctors has been superb. They have each made what could have been a frightening experience into a positive one. We are grateful for this facility to be within driving distance. It is a calming atmosphere to enter.

The doctors and nurses show genuine concern for how the patient is feeling and for their comfort. Every visit I was greeted with a warm welcome. We would like to give a big “Thank You” to HMC, their Doctors, Specialists, Nurses and all supporting staff for the exceptional care given to me with my recent medical issue. I must rate my experience as an A+. Thanks go out to the Doctors Lopez, Prasad and Harrison that helped us make an informed decision for the treatment we selected. Their expertise and guidance was extremely helpful and reassuring. They would take the time to inform me and my wife with every step along the way. Making each of my 33 days of treatment pleasant and comforting started with the friendly smile and sincere welcome in the morning for me and my wife from Brenda at the admissions desk. Passing the nurse’s station was another warm welcome from Suzie. She always took time to engage in friendly conversation and yet maintain her professionalism each Monday for my weekly progress report. When I crossed paths with Leo he was always friendly and genuinely concerned about my wellbeing. The ladies that administered my treatment were exceptional. They always created an atmosphere that was professional, friendly and extremely comforting. They kept me informed and answered any questions that I would ask. Andrea, Melissa and Hayley are the best. Once again “Thank You” to all.

The entire staff of Dreiling Schmidt Cancer Institute has treated me very good.

This radiation has been an exceptional experience for me. All three radiologists are
extremely kind. I was very nervous starting this, but their smiles and very caring attitudes to me really made me relax and open up. The receptionist was really cool. She always greeted me very warmly and with a great sense of humor. They turned a bad illness into a great
experience.

Please forgive me for not remembering names but the radiology crew at your center are superb! From the daily morning greeting and departure from Brenda, to the awesome girl in that department who have worked with me so nicely. They have become personal friends and have made my many visits there easy to get through. I loved talking and joking with them especially about the ice cold hands that make me jump! Great gals, not one in
particular but all three of them provided excellent service and care to their patients! Keep up the great work! My experience hence has been very positive! Thank all of you so very much!

I would like to thank everyone in RAD oncology Dept. From the receptionist, to the nurses who treated me to all of the doctors I have met. I have been treated with kindness,
compassion, courtesy and each and everyday everyone was concerned as to how I was feeling each day. And to all the other patients I have met. I want to thank you all very, very much. HaysMed can be thankful for such wonderful staff in their cancer unit.
