    I like Dr. Falniz very much. He is personable, smart, and brings up previous conversations about me and my care. However, he is more conservative in his treatment plan and concerns than my previous oncologists. I prefer to err on the side of caution and am therefore considering changing practices.

    As previously stated, Dr. Yalniz was compassionate and informative regarding the results of recent procedures and the subsequent diagnosis. His explanation was thorough and included hand-drawn visuals to assist in our understanding. He went above and beyond the call of duty and we could not be more pleased with the care we received.

      I'm a long time patient of Markey Cancer Center. I am 100% depending on a feeling take. I don't feel respected when I go to an doctor or PA, and they haven't read anything of my condition it's obvious the questions they ask would not be asked if they had bothered to at least scan my history before speaking to a patient.
