Roger William Cancer Center 50 Maude Street, Providence, RI 02908

"I have trust and faith in Dr. Koness, my mother was treated there and we had her many years longer if it wasn't for the Cancer center, But I believe that laws regarding pain management has put the Drs. on the edge about medication but that is across our country, these Depts.need to let the Drs.alone so the Patient's outcome is successful in all aspects of care"

"I have just been discharged after a month's stay in the Bone Marrow Transplant. I simply cannot say enough good things about the staff. From the time I was admitted to the time I was discharged, my every need was attended to promptly and efficiently. The staff were highly competent, always courteous, professional but also personable. My treatment was so good that I almost didn't want to come home."

"Dr Calvino, his entire staff, every resident and nurse, and their social worker Beth Angel have been with me every step of the way since finding out I had cancer, to finding out it spread, and hopefully will continue to be there for me until it's gone. The entire place has gone above and beyond, not just in my health care but in how they've taken care of my family and myself through this entire process. I'm blessed to have been referred to this place during such a scary time in my life, I'm convinced Beth might be an actual angel, and I'm so grateful for the respect and kindness shown to me by everyone who works here. Thank you all so much."

"I'm back again a year later and my opinion of this place hasn't changed about this facility with my Mom. Witnessed a back up of patients waiting treatment, a social worker apologizing for the delay. Other patients voicing their displeasure."

"This is absolutely the worst cancer center I have ever dealt with. I only give one star because its required. My family was left without medication on multiple occasions. The treatment plans changed abruptly with no explaination. If the patient has family members approved to call and speak with the doctors concerning treatment, they will advise you that the doctor will only talk with one person. So that person would then have to be the contact point for everything, including prescription refills, leaving us unable to delegate specific tasks. My family member was left gasping for breath and in severe pain while waiting DAYS for a call back from the doctor to drain fluid from their lungs. They ended up having to go to an emergency room where they were admitted and informed their lung was 100% filled at that point. Once being admitted to the closest hospital, treatment has been like night and day! My family member now has pain under control, a permanent drainage port implanted and was started on chemotherapy within days of admittance, whereas it had been a month of care with Dr.Rathore. We were treated like a nuisance. We were left ill informed. Our paperwork was mishandled and only partially entered into the computer system, causing numerous issues. We were left to suffer without pain medication for a newly diagnosed stage 4 lung cancer patient. We were made to sit by the phone desperately waiting for a call back, for over 3 days while my family member's lung filled with fluids. That call never came. I recommend going elsewhere. I cannot warn you strongly enough! This is your life on the line."
