Breast Cancer Treatment
“My coworkers at the hospital recommended Dr. O'Connor, and I was glad that the Center is near my house. The staff members were extremely kind, and I felt comfortable with them. Dr. O'Connor explained my options clearly, answered my questions, and was always ready for me on time. I would recommend Radiation Oncology Centers to anyone because I had such a good experience there.”

“My oncologist, Dr. McIntyre, referred me to Radiation Oncology Centers, and I used to work with one of the nurses there. Over the course of my 35 treatments, I got to know the staff quite well. The technicians put me at ease, and treated me like family. I would advise anyone who needs cancer treatment to go there.”

“My surgeon recommended Dr. O'Connor and Dr. Montes for my treatments. The entire team is very caring, and I felt they truly took an interest in me. My experience was excellent, and what truly amazed me is that I never had to wait. I wish I could say that about other doctors!”

Skin, Scalp, and Neck Cancer Treatment
“A friend of mine from UCLA went to school with Dr. O'Connor and recommended him to me. I went through radiation and chemotherapy, and it was rough. I appreciated the doctor’s demeanor. He was realistic and didn’t sugar coat it. They have to tell you all the possibilities, but it usually turns out better than you think. I highly recommend them.”

Prostate Cancer Treatment
“Four years ago when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, I was given three treatment options: surgery, seed implantation or IMRT. I chose IMRT at Radiation Oncology Centers and couldn't feel better about my decision. The procedure was painless, relaxing and effective - and most importantly - I was able to maintain my normal quality of life.”

— Paul Joseph

Skin Cancer Treatment
“After many years of surfing, I developed skin cancer on my back, shoulder, ears and scalp. I underwent both surgery and radiation therapy. I learned that surgery can't always get to the root of skin cancer, and that radiation is a less invasive and more thorough treatment. I was in good hands with Dr. O'Connor and his team. They are so wonderful, I actually enjoyed my treatment. I experienced no discomfort during the process.”

— Jim Nash

Breast Cancer Treatment
“As a nurse, I can tell immediately if a doctor really cares and Dr. O'Connor does. He and the team are absolutely wonderful. I felt comfortable, like I could say or ask anything. My specialty is not in cancer, so Dr. O'Connor explained everything to me in plain English, took the time needed to discuss all options with my husband and me, and I never felt rushed. He explained the history of treatments and how they have developed, and gave me statistics. Although this is very serious, his sense of humor helped put me at ease. I actually looked forward to going to radiation and seeing the staff. They are responsive and all my calls were returned promptly. My relationship with the team became personal and emotional, with lots of hugs.”

— Sherrie McNellis
