Anecdotal evidence only...

I had radiation therapy and hormone treatments at Yenni Treatment Center at East Jefferson (LCMC). From the parking valet, to the receptionist, to the radiation techs, nurses, etc., the experience was as good as it could get and far better than I imagined it might be. When I finished treatment I was actually kind of sad I (hopefully) wouldn't see them again. Everyone was positive and friendly, and that makes a difference.

My radiation oncologist was a guy named Sidd Padman, which is a shortened version of his last name. That guy was GREAT! I can't say enough good things about him.

At Ochsner, a friend's mother did not receive good medical care over an ~18 months period, in the family's opinion. They are contemplating a malpractice suit.

I went to Dr Padman also for radiation treatment. And I agree he was great. Easy to talk to and ask questions.

I don't feel the same way about the medical oncologist I'm seeing. It might be time for me to go to a different oncologist. Perhaps my experience at the EJ cancer treatment center is negative because of that.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of cancer did you have?

What oncologist did you see?
