Providence Patient
Dr. Twardowski and team are excellent health care providers. When I was first diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, he immediately came up with an aggressive treatment plan which he thoroughly explained to my wife and me. Dr. T's team executed their plan of treatment, which has now resulted in my being in remission after six months of treatment. I say that is excellent care, particularly given some of the difficulties with the treatments.

I've had cancer for the last two years and I definitely think Dr. T has given me the latest treatment that's available whether it's working for me or not and he's assistant is definitely fantastic.

Dr T has been my oncologist post prostate cancer surgery. I've trusted and have confidence in knowledge and recommendations. He's thoughtful and did not rush to a decision regarding radiation and hormone therapy as my PSA began as low rise post surgery. In November it will be 4 yrs since I completed radiation treatment and so far the results have been positive (positive in a good way). Dr T is always very patient and thoughtful and I'm grateful for advice and guidance
