Patient Reviews

Jul 04, 2023

When the doctors at Comprehensive Hematology and Oncology say they deliver compassionate cancer care, that’s not just a marketing slogan, that’s the honest truth. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I was devastated. I’d had surgery for a bowel issue, and the surgeon delivered the bad news. I cried and told him I didn’t know where to turn. He told me he knew just the doctor. Shortly after, Dr. Makani came into my hospital room. The minute I met her, I knew I would do whatever she recommended. She radiated compassion, and demonstrated extensive experience. She explained her treatment approach and answered all my questions with great patience and in patient-friendly language. Dr. Makani is Havard-trained and later taught at Harvard. She is currently a leading physician/ scientist and clinical medical research director of interventional clinical trials dedicated to improving cancer care by advancing research and creating medical innovation. I trusted her immediately and under her care, I have been healing rapidly and have no doubt I will have a complete recovery. If you have been seeking both a high level of care as well as compassion, I highly recommend Dr. Makani and her entire staff.
