Very good.

Very professional group. I appreciated the call that said they had a cancellation and gave me the option to come in earlier. Which I did. Dr Kathula keeps things understandable to the layperson like me.

Dr. Kathula, medical staff and the receptionists were very busy during my visit, but were able to answer my questions and ensure I received the care needed.

Both Dr. and Nurse were very understanding and showed compassion. And answered my questions based on the information they had. Both were understanding of my medical situation and both were very kind and knowledgeable and most helpful in explaining the future steps in my cancer journey.

Pleasant experience

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?
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/14/2025
No blood work. Seemed a non essential visit. "Things look good. See you in 3 months "

The new suite has a warm and relaxing atmosphere. It's the best location yet.

Staff was excellent. Tests were not easy to schedule. Ended up going to atrium for one test, and over to another provider in Kettering for follow up radiation.

Dr. Kathula is very professional & personable! He has a wonderful bedside manner and he pays close attention and listens to you as you speak. This was my first visit with him. He came highly recommended to me and I'm very happy to have him for my Dr. I was very impressed that he introduced himself and called me by name. I haven't found many doctors who do that and it showed me he's very caring. The office staff is very welcoming and patient and go above and beyond to help you. Thank you!!

Great visit with great doctor who thoroughly explained everything well. Suggested blood work however I have decided to return to AZ for treatment in my own state. I would highly recommend this physician.

It has become a regular 4 month blood check so until things get worse (or better) this has all become very routine.

I'm still alive is the highest praise I can give Dr. Kathula!!

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.
