The treatment I have received, prognosis of what is going on has been some of the best treatments I have ever received in my life. The Doctors have been outstanding and truly care about the quality of their patients. All the doctors I've had at Nortons have truly cared on the quality of my life and how the best resolve my cancer issues. I have complete and 100% trust in what they're doing and would recommend anybody to come to Nortons for the best treatment.

A man that was sitting next to me asked who I see, I said doctor Kandra. Then he asked if I liked him and I said yes. He said that was the one he was going to start seeing, while I was waiting to schedule more appointments.

We have very rarely had a bad experience at Norton Clark Cancer center. We probably never had one. If we had one we don't remember

I really like Dr. Kandra's healthcare style. He does not recommend unnecessary procedures or medications. Some places will recommend procedures and medications to generate more revenue.

Dr. Candra is an exceptional oncologist. He has a very calm and caring nature. He gives so much of his time looking for treatments and the comfort of his patients. He shares scan results and has drawn diagrams to help me better understand the results and my cancer.
