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.

Find anyone else. One of the most systematic non empathetic doctors I’ve encountered.

Dr. Cabanillas has been the lead on my team at MDA for nearly 3 years. The level of care I've received from her and for that matter everyone else at MDANDERSON has been highly commendable. While everyone's situation is different, there is nowhere else I'd choose for my Anaplastic thyroid cancer treatments.

Then don’t try Dr Julie Johnson at Moffitt that is exactly what she did. She stated she was having my slides re-read my chief pathologist and then doesn’t remember the conversation. She also ordered blood test and had a 20 min conversation about it with me, not only were there no orders in the lab there wasn’t dictation in her notes. I changed drs and now my other Drs at Moffitt are referring me out like I’ve been black balled at the whole facility. And I am a high risk patient.

I strongly encourage anyone that unfortunately is diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer to reconsider and even request a physician change if you are unfortunately assigned to Dr. Maria Cabanillas. She is not considerate or demonstrate any type of reasonable bedside manner or decorum. She literally lied to my face and my wifes face saying she never suggested specific treatment. I will spare everyone the drama but I will say that if you want care, you will not receive it from Dr. Maria Cabanillas.

Dr. Cabanillas is the worst cancer care doctor I have encountered. On my initial visits with her she refused to follow-up in depth to my primary care physicians concerns, and instead overrode his protocol for future imaging and disease tracking. After 5 years of her prohibiting me from getting definitive scans, I now face larger health issues. She denies having ever given me this instruction, though she did consistently. If you want serious attention for your cancer, please run from MDA.
