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.

Monoclonal antibody overdose
Dr. Goble gave me a loading dose for SIX rounds during my chemo treatment instead of just ONE and when the error was discovered she never once called me directly. I’ve had issues with my heart ever since. Leave this Cancer Institute - do not stay with these doctors.

Saved my life!
I owe Dr. Goble my life. She sent me to Dr. Levine at Wake Forest Hospital in Winston- Salem for my appendix cancer in 2014. I’m still here 9 years later. Will forever be grateful.

All she cared about was making money off treatment
If you want the cancer treated and the patient ignored this is it. My wife was treated mercilessly until the day she died. This doctor cares NOT for the patient, was cold and dishonest about the prognosis. We were naive. We allowed her to pump my wife full of chemicals till a week before she died. Had we only known. She never told us this was terminal cancer. Never attempted to help us move through this.

Poor bedside manner. During our first consultation after my cancer diagnosis, she listed a laundry list of treatment. I started to cry and asked about other treatment options. She sat there very coldly and told me it was my choice either accept the treatment or fail at fighting it again in five years. Then, went on to say if I didn't like what she had to say I was welcome to go somewhere else. Her treatment plan has kept cancer at bay for me, but I now have a poor quality of life.

My 79 year old Father was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer mid April. He spent his last remaining days on this earth sick as a dog from radiation and 1 Keytruda treatment before he died on June 12th, less than two months later. Dr. Goble promised my Mother that she would put all the cards on the table and be "open and honest" with them. I don't believe that is what she did. She never discussed the severity of his situation, only moved forward with treatment. I feel it was a disservice.

Poor bedside manner. Missed PE's. Sent me home despite complaining of shortness of breath, leg cramps, and severe fatigue for 3 weeks. She wanted me to wait three days to see a pulmonologist. I drove Myself to the ER the following morning and was immediately treated for blood clots on my lungs. Spent 3 days in the hospital. This resulted in a setback for my chemo treatments.
