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. Tierney and his staff were always prompt and considerate.

Average Visits
He spends maybe 5 minutes with me. I don’t exactly feel rushed but also don’t understand why he runs so late when he doesn’t seem to have long visits with patients. He also took several weeks to get back to me about my plan - if radiation was recommended or not. I had to call at least 3 times over several weeks to get an answer.

Outstanding Care
Dr. Tierney provided excellent care. He explained the process and all the options. He answered all my questions. Along with Dr. Tierney, the staff, from reception, billing, scheduling, nurses, and radiation technicians of Texas Oncology helped ease me through the treatment and aftercare. I do not believe I could have gotten better care anywhere.

Dr. Ryan Tierney; he gets results!
Backed by an exceptional staff, Dr. Tierney is always available to work through any issues related to the treatment process. He is also willing and able to explain the (sometimes complex) science behind the various treatment options. I found it very reassuring that Dr. Tierney remained steadfastly positive during my treatment. I always felt that he was there for me and doing what was necessary for a positive outcome.

Dr. Ryan Tierney: Cancer Killer
Dr. Tierney guided the Texas Oncology staff in providing me 35 radiation sessions to control my high-risk prostate cancer. This was AFTER a long course of treatments with chemotherapy and androgen deprivation treatment, and a radical prostatectomy. When my cancer returned after all those treatments, Dr. Tierney's radiation appears to have finally put an end to my cancer - at least it seems that way, since it has been 15 months since I had any discernable PSA. Dr. Tierney is a very knowledgeable, confident but caring physician and I heartily recommend him and his team for cancer radiation treatment.

Dr. Tierney along with my oncologist has recently seen me through stage 3 lung cancer followed immediately with treatments for prostrate cancer. This has been going on for 18 months. Not through yet but hopefully radiation is over. He is prompt and courteous as is the staff that supports him.

Dr. Tierney and his entire staff made my journey so much easier. He is so knowledgeable and up to date on the latest procedures. He explained my entire process to me so that I could understand and answered all questions I had no matter how many times I asked. He was patient with me and never rushed any of our appointments. I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring radiation.
