Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Thomas is an outstanding medical provider. He listens carefully to my concerns and promotes a sense of hope in treatment options. Even though I am a stage 4 cancer patient, he has presented my prognosis with a sense of hope and that if cancer should show up, we have treatment options and there is ongoing reserach in how we treat cancer. As a member of the tumor board, he works collaboratively with a team of doctors and serves as a mentor to others in the field.

I love going to Oak Creek Cancer Center! Everyone there makes the process so easy, which is great because Cancer is not easy! I totally trust my doctors here! They explain everything very thoroughly in understandable terms. Whenever something is off, they take steps to ensure that something is not missed. Also, I never have problems with my insurance covering anything they recommend, that has happened occasionally at other places. I give the 5+ stars! I have recommended them to others who have cancer.

The warm care & concern from Dr Thomas has been unwavering in the last 3 yrs after diagnosis. He has seen me at my worst, has thanked me for a job well done, has been tender when asking if I have anything I want to address. I can't imagine being under any other doctor's care during this time. I am so grateful. I wish every cancer patient could have this experience with their care.
