Patient Reviews
Feb 23, 2023
I was wingman for my best friend who had terminal pancreatic cancer, "2 months", and after seeing several other oncologists and big centers, we found Dr Chaves, who in addition to being one of the most caring MD's ever, got him enough years so he could see his only son graduate and enter college. Highly educated and experienced, compassionate and full of hope, I believe it would be hard to find a better oncologist to treat you or a loved one. R R Lockwood MD
