Arlington Cancer Center

I just wanted to report what a horrible experience I had communicating with Dr. John Adams. He was rude, unprofessional, uncaring, and I would never recommend him to anyone seeking care at this facility.

Marvelous cancer care. I have been bringing my grandmother here since she was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990. Dr. Kershid (her oncologist) is current on the latest research and procedures. He listens attentively, is never impatient with questions, and wants to make sure that his patients understand precisely what is taking place and the various options for diagnosis and treatment. He also respects the wants and needs of each patient and never attempts to impose his opinions.
Dana, the aide, is truly a gem. She addresses my grandmother by name (none of the «sweeetie» or «sweetheart» garbage that is all-​too common when medical professionals address old people) and always treats grandmother with the utmost respect.
The folks in charge of scheduling (especially Faviola) are friendly and efficient.
The waiting room is quiet, dimly lit, and does not have that icky medical center vibe.
And, the people who are waiting for treatments/​to be seen are kind and courteous. Perhaps it is the shared circumstance (cancer is the great equalizer) but there is a definite feeling of solidarity in the room.
If you or someone you love is facing a diagnosis of cancer, I urge you to seek help at ACC.
