For several months I shared some of the most difficult and sickest moments of my life with this kind, compassionate and wonderful staff. I’m so grateful to all of you for your care. Having cancer is so scary but you all always assured me I would be cured. And here I am, cured. I always felt like I was getting the best of care from each and every person there. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough to express my gratitude. From the front desk to the nurses to Michele and Dr Alemar, each and every one of you will always hold a special place in my heart. Thanks for curing me.

The Nurse Michelle Manyas- NP, was very attentive and knowledgeable. She mentioned that I would also meet Dr. Jose Alamar during my first visit and I did! He’s quite a handsome doctor. I stood up to shake his hand, and he gave me a quick glance before remaining standing. Our interaction was brief, as he asked a couple of questions about my high blood cells directed to his nurse and then stepped out after a few minutes.
I’m hopeful that when I return to go over my blood test results, Dr. Jose Allamar will have the opportunity to sit down and engage a bit more personally.
Still, I really appreciated the care and professionalism from the entire team, especially the nurse practitioner, who was truly outstanding!
