    Dr. Kathula is not only interested in my cancer health but also my overall health. I liked the new team I met this trip but I do miss the team that I've dealt with for the past 3 years. Also, I thought the plan was to put the entire cancer unit in one area?

    Too many repeated phone messages reminding me of my appointment time/date. At least 5 notifications despite confirming my attendance spread out over 4-5 days. One call came at almost exactly at midnight the day before my appointment. I also use the Premier Health My Chart for pre-visiting questions...the same questions asked when I arrive in person.
