Wife died during treatment at MD Anderson. Death certifcate was signed and dated by the staff at MD Anderson. I had no relationship with her insurance at all (i've always had my own). Continue to receive threatening letters from MD Anderson to her (she's been dead for more than a year) that if she doesn't pay, it's going to collections and then further, which is hilarious, because again she's dead. Screw this place, and the horse it road in on.

Simply an incredible experience at MDA. The people, the attention to detail, the professionalism, the facilities and the list goes on and on.There’s a reason they’re rated No. 1.If you or a loved one needs medical care for cancer, look no further. This is the destination of your hopes and prayers.

We spent seven years enduring not only my husband’s cancer diagnosis, but also the horrific lack of continuity and communication that is extremely prevalent at MD Anderson. And to add insult to injury, no one is held accountable for this ignorance. They all just talk about each other, you know as good cop, bad cop. Be very careful when approaching this facility for your cancer needs. Record every word spoken, because it will change minute to minute, with ZERO recollection from the source that spoke it. It’s a scary place, so don’t go in there alone, have a patient advocate with you, and a caregiver that will be your extra set of eyes and ears. There are many many stories like mine, and I promise you, protect yourself. They are a very poorly managed business with an incredibly broken system. Pay attention, because they aren’t.

I watched my Dad die at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. It was awful. I wanted to share a bit about the experience in hopes that other people can have better experiences.
MD Anderson touts itself as “the Best Cancer Center in the World.” But it is not.
Dad was failed by Dr. Ashish Kamat and his entire team. Worst of all by his PA, Robert Ramage. I implore other families to think twice before entrusting your loved ones to this team’s care.
But there were others who are culpable. The entire culture of this hospital is “cancerous.”
Over an agonizing year of treatment and mistreatment, a catastrophic failure in care at the hands of MD Anderson cost my Dad his life. That failure began in November of 2023, and culminated with Dad’s shocking death in a cramped, post-opp room on the 5th floor of your Oncology building, just a few weeks short of his birthday. Dad would have been 79 this past New Years Day.
Dad deserved so much better. He truly was the most likeable, loveable person.
Dad’s death was an ugly scene. Something I don’t wish on anyone. Watching someone you love suddenly taken from you is traumatic enough. But compounding that pain by witnessing a complete breakdown in procedure, a complete deficit of know-how, and a complete absence of urgency from the MD Anderson Staff was unconscionable.
The lack of training, professionalism, and empathy on display at MD Anderson that Tuesday morning was shocking. And heartbreaking. But it was consistent with that my Dad and our family experienced over the past 12 months.
I wrote a letter to Peter Pisters, which you can find at a new website my family and I created, called patientsforchange.com. Please read it and please help us do all we can to ensure every patient is treated like family.
Sending prayers and love to you all. 🙏❤️

As a volunteer here, I can say that it is a great place. The different locations in the Main and Mays buildings are unique and make patients feel like home.

The Doctors meet you personally every time and work you into the system, even if you're over booked. The Nursing staff is fantastic, as well! I hope you never get cancer, but they are the #1 choice if you do.
