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.

My visits are always excellent with her! There is always a level of stress when I visit (just nature of having dealt with cancer) but her style brings a level of comfort.

Dr Valente has treated me for after effects of Proton treatment for lung cancer. Severe Anemia. She is always on top of her treatment. Listens to her patients complaints and worries, and addresses them with the information they need.

My visit was a semi-annual follow-up for breast cancer. I met Dr. Valente about 2 and a half years ago after being diagnosed and after a mastectomy. She saw me through chemo and radiation. She is always very professional but at the same time compassionate. I trust her judgment completely. I am so thankful that she is my Oncologist.

GOD bless Dr. Valente!
