As I stated earlier in the survey, Dr. Zurko is great. She listens to my concerns, answers my questions, comes to my appointment prepared and knows my case, is very polite, treats me with respect and is extremely knowledgeable. I'm so glad that I switched to her as my oncologist. I can't say enough good things about my experience with her care.

We totally understand appointments may not start on time due to more critical circumstances. However, after waiting 30 minutes past our scheduled time it would have been nice to have a staff member let us know we may have to wait a bit. It felt like they had forgotten about us until we approached the desk asking questions about the long wait. Very busy days or being short staffed should not prevent one person to pop in to say “it may be a bigger longer”

She is an excellent communicator. She treats me as a person. I wish all doctors were like her.

Dec 7, 2025
She is an excellent oncologist who really cares about her patient. Takes time to listen, gives an opinion, but leaves it up to the patient to accept or disagree. Also, hopefully in the time needed to be on time for her other appointments
