"I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 3A in 2020 with brca1 mutation they have always made me feel like I am their only patient. I completed a hysterectomy did 6 rounds of chemotherapeutic after completing treatment they still kept a very close eye on me, I took a maintenance medication, had labs done every month, internal exams every 3 months, scans every 6 months, in July 2022 my Dr found something on my vagina wall immediately did a biopsy & sent me for scans the scans picked up nothing but biopsy came back cancer again. I had another surgery completed another 6 rounds of chemo & now back to maintenance medication & that close watch but I'm thankful for Dr lange & her complete team at advent cancer center..This Dr has listened to me cried with me & I know she cares for me."

"I was diagnosed with 2 types of breast cancer. I had cancer in both both breast with one lymph node involvement. I was a stage 2. I had a double mastectomy with both surgeons doing my surgery. My double mastectomy was a botched job. The excess skin has made this last year miserable. After surgery the surgeon said I needed chemotherapy. The oncologist and radiologist disagreed. The oncologist also told me the surgeon had no business saying that too me. I went for a second opinion…. Everyone at the KU hospital I see are shocked at my double mastectomy they go get other doctors to see the amount of breast tissue left. They say my right breast would be considered a lumpectomy at most. I had the ACT 12 rounds of chemotherapy. I had to have more radiation due too the amount of tissue left. Now I have to have this excess tissue removed. Thanks for taking a scary emotional time and major event in someone’s life and making them look deformed with how the surgery has looked. I also believe I would of died by not doing everything I needed done. Really think before coming to this cancer center. Get second opinions every lawyer I’ve spoken to have said Johnson country doctors are hard to fight. If I lived in any other country or Missouri I would of had a case. Now I never received a sorry and this can continue to happen. Sad. Make sure you get second opinions."

"This isn't for the care of patients . Mom is getting great care. It's for the parking situation. For being a medical facility and only having 6 handicap parking spots that is ridiculous. There should be more for your patients that needs them. All those parking spaces in front some could be made into handicap parking. Thank god I am bringing my mom for her treatments or she would have to park a distance away from the door. It's pathetic."

"First off, the radiation oncologist I saw was fantastic. The radiation techs were top-notch. But the billing...I'm charged over three times as much for "facility fees" as I am for the doctor herself. Twice was told that I wouldn't receive a bill, but they sent bills anyway. Got charged multiple hundreds for a facility fee for a less than 5 minute telehealth call from my medical oncologist. The care is okay, but the costs are prohibitive. You'd be better off financially to find a not-for-profit hospital who doesn't chose to charge cancer patients huge fees for walking in the door. After my active treatment, I felt like I was unsupported trying to figure out how to deal with side effects of cancer, the medications, and what is normal and abnormal."
