Caring and patient doctors, nurses and support staff, who have a welcoming manner! Appointments are on time, and staff is available to answer questions. It is easy to contact care givers through the portal or even call to speak to a nurse for urgent questions. Very grateful to be a patient at MD Anderson South!
