Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Pancreas Cancer. Stage 3
I had diagnosis of stage 3 pancreas cancer. My primary care physician Dr. Charles Hwu recommended and referred me to Dr. Richard Xu, an oncology and hematology doctor. With his professional aplomb treating me with chemotherapy, I am cancer free. It is incontrovertible and unequivocal that Dr. Xu is the go to doctor for blood or tumor issues. His A-Team office assistants, being cordial, efficient and with impeccable demeanor, help exude an office ethos with very soothing ambience. Dr. Richard Xu and his A-Team assistants : 'Humanist of the Deed. Molto Affetuoso !'

HORRIBLE doctor. Do not go see him, he will cause you harm. My mother went for an X-ray, they saw a spot. He told her not to worry. The next year it grew and got bigger in the X-ray. He didn’t tell her to get it examined or anything. So a few months later she went for a second opinion because she didn’t feel like that was right. The second opinion was SHOCKED that Richard Xu did not order more tests. Turns out it was cancer. Cancer than could have been caught 2 years earlier, but instead had the chance to grow into the next stage.

I was refferal by another doctor to Dr Xu for my treatment, the appointment was quickly set and Dr Xu explains all the detail on my case. My treatment is about a month, 3 times a week, Dr Xu meet with me and explain every step after each treatment. I’m glad I’m on a good hand. Plus the app they are using are amazing, I can communicate with my doctor with a click for my phone, also all my lab reports are handy.
