What Our Patients Are Saying
“This place is unreal. Never ever have I seen people so helpful, compassionate, and kind. Staff you don't even know have knowledge about your situation. They pay attention to what's going on with you. Dr. Chawla comes around and personally talks to patients every day.”
“The Cancer Center of Southern California is the best place to go to if you are seeking treatment for cancer. The doctors there are the best in their respective fields, and they make sure that each patient consultation is maximized. The nurses and staff are efficient, friendly, and exhibit professionalism. The clinic is also known for conducting numerous clinical trials, certainly something that patients might be interested to look into if they are unhappy with their current treatment.”
“I've been coming to Dr. Chawla for over a year and a half after being diagnosed with a rare cancer. His office staff are always kind and uplifting. I feel so lucky to have found this office and still be alive!! I drive an hour and a half each way to get here and it's totally worth it. His knowledge of so many cancers and their treatments amazes me. I've made so many good friends here, and the support of the staff and patients is helpful in this journey.”
“Dr. Chawla is a very experienced and expert cancer specialist and behaves very peacefully. He caught a disease in a very short time. I had a great experience when I met Dr. Chawla.”
“Dr. Chawla and his team are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, caring & compassionate people. After 1 year of traditional chemotherapy, which did not work, I was left facing imminent death from my very rare cancer. My spouse found Dr. Chawla & his Cancer Center of Southern California and decided to email. Within minutes, Dr. Chawla called us on a Saturday, which totally blew us away and had us meet the following week to discuss treatments & clinical trials. That was 3 years ago. My cancer typically results in death within 6-12 months. Dr. Chawla and staff began treatments immediately and stabilized my tumor and spared my life. I highly recommend the Cancer Center of Southern California!”
