    Every visit with Dr. Shu and the entire Radiation department including the front desk and Team ONE for treatment was an amazing blessing to me including love, caring, and exceptional medical services to me giving me courage and hope. It was the best in all the treatment I have ever known since 2006 when I first had cancer.

    Dr. Shu and the radiation department were the best ever. I was blessed. I just wish my brain surgery had gone as well without the vision loss I suffered there due to the accident to my left eye leaving me blind in that eye. I have had the main problems from the left eye
