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. Cole was so helpful towards me with my medical conditions. She was knowledgeable and showed a great deal of compassion towards her patients. She explained everything to me, showed so much investment into my time with her and was truly one of the best Dr.’s I have experienced in a while. Her staff was friendly towards me as well and went over everything with me.

I would give her 0 starts if possible! She has horrible bedside manners... She made my sick uncle get the covid vaccine in order to continue his cancer treatment with her... against other dr's advice my uncle got the vaccine... 1 month later she dropped him as a patient while he was in the hospital... Very Rude lady!

I was just referred to another Dr. by Cole as she will not see anyone that does not have the injections of experimental so called vaccine. I should be more afraid of her according to the CDC.

My wife just started with Dr. Cole and we couldn't be more pleased. The communication was great with both Dr. Cole and her entire staff. They are compassionate and supportive and clearly laid out the options and recommended treatments available. We saw no indication that Dr. Cole against second opinions. In fact, they offered to assist us making the appointment, including the Cleveland clinic. Dr. Cole's professional personality may not be straight lace text book, but she is open, honest and we personally find her refreshing and warm.

Worst oncologist They do not care about their cancer patients. They never know whats going on. Their staff is rude and unprofessional especially a nurse named Becky. I say this because I expressed my frustrations about the lack of communication within their office and she said to me quote "nobody speaks to her that way" and they were sending my husbands files to another oncologist. Which is actually a blessing. If you have a loved one dealing with cancer DoNot go to this facility for care

Dr Cole is awesome! Very friendly and compassionate. I was diagnosed with an emergency situation while I was on a family vacation! She contacted me several times a day until my return home including one of those days being a holiday! She also had me seen at The James Center and surgery was performed with in 2 weeks of diagnosis! She is knowledgeable and passionate about treating cancer in the most up to date way! Her office staff is awesome !

IT'S ALWAYS A SHOCK WHEN YOU ARE REFERRED TO A SPECIALIST AND THE STAFF AT ORION CANCER CARE WHERE HELPFUL IN SCHEDULING AND VERY UNDERSTANDING . I WOULD TELL EVERYONE TO SEE DR COLE OR DR HAQ AS THEY WERE BOTH VERY INFORMATIVE AND COMPASSIONATE.

Dr. Cole was fine until my mom wanted a 2nd opinion, then Sharon became unprofessional and took it personally. When she told my mother that the treatments were not working she was NOT, I repeat, NOT compassionate. I would not recommend her.
