• The nurse, doctor and staff were wonderful. I am changing to Wentworth Douglass to have most of my records in the same place. This was my first visit to hematology here and I am so happy I changed. This is the very first time my diagnosis was actually explained to me and I so appreciate the fact that I can have the blood draw (didn't need it this time) and the doctors appointment on the same day and only 45 minutes apart. At the other hematology doctors office I had to go for the blood draw and then the appointment a couple weeks later. Both of which were an hour away. Also the nurse and I had so giggles before I saw the doctor which eased my nerves. All in all it was an excellent experience and I wish I had made this change years ago. Thank you!!!

• This was my first visit with the new provider. He was professional and knowledgeable. It takes time to learn mannerisms of a dr style. I will know next time not to ask any questions until the end of the appointment. There were times I wish I could have interrupted to let him know I didn't understand what I was looking at when shown my test results, he sounded irritated I interrupted. I now know to wait. At the end of my appointment he recommended a test I knew nothing about , that gave me great confidence in his knowledge and peace in his process. I'm convinced that I will be giving him a 10 in my next review

• The best CC I have been to. Great caring staff

  2025-11-01

• I have been fortunate enough to have had Dr. Atwal for my Cancer Care and treatments for just over 2 years now. I just can't say enough wonderful things about him, his professionalism, friendliness, competence, and the quality of care I have had while under his dedicated care. Before my treatments started, I had considerable hesitation to undertake the medical infusion treatments because of possible "side effects". Dr. Atwal guided me through the decision-making process. It was his warmth, thoroughness, and sincere concern for me that convinced me to proceed. Now 2 years later, I had virtually no unpleasantness, and my PSA tests now reveal that the treatments were a success. I couldn't be more grateful to him. I will continue to see Dr. Atwal for follow-up visits and I am fully confident that he will monitor my health and do his very best to keep me well in the upcoming years. What a blessing Dr. Atwal has been and will continue to be! [redacted]

• Very good experience on all accounts

  2025-10-11

• I have nothing but good things to say about this Onco office. however my good feelings for WDH itself has deteriorated. Based on my last inpatient tx, I now know that all the fancy words in you 'goal to include patients in consultation about their care' when in WDH is not worth the paper it is written on. For this I am so sad, for myself and future patients.

  2025-10-09
