Penn State Cancer Institute

"I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer a few weeks ago and needed a total hysterectomy. I’m a registered nurse, so I’m very aware of care concerns. There are honestly no words to express how thankful I am for Dr. Shaina Bruce and her entire surgical team. The care I have received from the moment of diagnosis at PENN STATE HERSHEY CANCER INSTITUTE was extraordinary. I was blessed to be cared for by Dr. Bruce! Her office team was efficient, compassionate, and professional. Dr. Bruce completed her fellowship in Gynecological Oncology (GYN ONC). Her cutting edge techniques with robotic surgery enabled me to walk out of the hospital with limited pain just 8 hours after my surgery started. Now, three days post-op I’m able to manage my pain with acetaminophen and ibuprofen. I’m up walking, sleeping comfortably, and able to take care of all my basic personal care needs alone. No one wants cancer. But if you face the challenge, don’t face it alone - consider Penn State Hershey’s cancer institute and Dr. Shaina Bruce for GYN ONC needs. The care is exemplary!"

"These people simply do not care about Cancer Patients. If you wanna die, unfortunately this is the place to go! I would not recommend this sketchy cover up place to anyone, not even my worst enemy!"

"The place was wonderful until you got settled in and that's when the mess started and I can't stand how everything they say about penn health is amazing. only if you have money. The place killed a person I knew there deeply sadness. They had been worried to give the meds but not oxygen. They let that person sleep with a breath problem with out oxygen for a whole night and then they died. After seeing them turn machine off and not once touch the oxygen they also in person say they didn't know if they had turned off the oxygen. Penn health cancer Institute is about money,testing and killing. They are murders"

"Babe had to make his appointment...the staff was a little on the...not so sure they knew what they were doing..but the day ended well"

"Almost every appointment we are waiting all day because the computers are slow. The doctors and nurses are great. But it shouldn't take 45 minutes sitting at the check out desk just to schedule the next appointment. The doctors are always frustrated, rightfully so, at the antiquated computer system that never works. I feel bad for the doctors, and even worse for the patients and caregivers who have to lose entire days and weeks worth of time while the employees wait for their computers to load and reboot and load again and again. How do you expect to take care of your patients with this system. You should immediately fire your entire IT department. Maybe then your patients can get the proper care and attention they deserve, your doctors wouldn't be angry and frustrated, and you could get more patients in to cover the cost of a computer upgrade. I think we'll be looking for a new cancer center."
