Dr. Lima is a caring, knowledgeable & professional, MD. She takes the time to listen to my questions/concerns. Her R.N., Lisa, takes the time to help me with my questions/concerns also. She is extremely helpful to me. I feel that I can approach them with my questions. God bless them both and God's work that they do!!!

My visits to MD Anderson Cancer Center ... everyone makes me feel like they care. I see such beautiful smiles from all of the staff. The tone of their voices is comforting. The wait is not long, they value my time. They're always encouraging you. Some days I have felt so alone, afraid, and in a lot of pain, somehow a staff member will say something or do something and turn the visit around in a positive manner.

The Nurses and MA were very attentive and calm. Everyone was engaging. My comfort and the comfort of my husband always seem to be a priority as well as providing quality, competent care. Very satisfied with my care. And although I hope that I never have to refer anyone because I would hate for anyone else to go through this, if I do I will definitely recommend MD Anderson and their providers and infusion clinic.
