"I've been a patient of Dr. kuruvilla lymphoma doctor since 2018. An excellent doctor. I think he could be a scientist too, since he's been doing a lot of research. Thank you Dr kuruvilla for spending your precious time on me. Lately, I was referred to Dr Nihad Almokhtar, MD, a fellow of Dr. kuruvilla. Amazing doctor!! A beautiful soul!! She has the power to calm people like me, and she takes her time to explain. I'm so blessed to be under her care. Thank you doctors, truly appreciate your efforts dealing with people like me. 18th floor eye clinic, the team of Dr Hatem nf his team was brilliant. Tha k you guys for your excellent service and to David, the tall gentleman and his team at CT, petscan, you're the best. Thank you so much.

"My mother is currently a patient there for over a week. Not one oncologist has contacted her or my and my brothers, no update on the type of cancer and we only spoke to one on call doctor who was extremely rude. For a “world class” hospital this is extremely disappointing. My mother feels neglected and scared, we literally have no idea what is going on."
