Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Chicago - CTCA

"It will be 7 years in July my wife had some test in Michigan which they told us she had a very aggressive small cell cancer. I took her to ctca zion IL. 5 days after diagnosis and they ran test and give her 40% chance to beat it. They started treatment 10 days after original diagnosis, chemo, radiation, internal radiation and then chemo to finish up! My Beautiful wife is sleeping as I right this and all I can say is thank you God for you directing to CTCA Zion!"

"Brought my wife here for a second opinion on Stage IV breast cancer. Liver 70% gone when we visited. She was given 4 months to live from her first opinion at and Indy hospital. Here we are 5 years later after FANTASTIC care from CTCA and still going strong. Her remission just ended recently so we've quickly moved to a new med treatment and are looking for 5 more years. I couldn't possibly say enough GREAT things about the care we've received from Day 1. They do in a day what a normal center takes literally 3 weeks to get done. We've recommended 4 others to come after their initial treatments have failed and they all have the same opinion about how wonderful this place is. Choose a For Profit over a Non Profit enterprise if you really want action and expertise for your loved ones! No comparison in care given."

"My father was healthy until we started their treatment. All they do is pump you full of radiation and medicine until you can’t take anymore. Then they refused to treat you and basically tell you you’re going to die. My father was a police officer for over 30 years. He had been shot in the line of duty and has seen many things. I will never when forget the doctor that refused to treat him and very coldly turned him away. Essentially telling him he was going to die. It took a light out of my fathers eyes and I’ll never forget that image. I wanted to tell the doctor a few things but out of respect for my dad I held my tongue. My advice is if you love your family member don’t take them to this facility. It’s strictly a money grab, nothing more, nothing less. Find someone who actually cares about your loved one and doesn’t just see Dollar Signs when they’re going through the most difficult time of their life. We had many unpleasant interactions besides that one. However, my father refused to look at any other options until it was too late. Cherish the time you have with your family and put them in better hands than the cancer treatment center of America."

"I came to CTCA to get a second opinion, I was so happy with the Drs and their care teams, they treat you with respect, I had my surgery under the care of Dr Liu and Dr Ahn who is my oncologist, everyone has been so great to me and my sister through our entire stay, This is a very good Hospital and I am glad I came here. Wonderful and awesome staff all around. Thank you so much."
