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.

Dr. Kandra has been outstanding. I have a condition for which we can't find an underlying cause. He has been vigilant in testing and even referring to other drs as indicated. He is thoughtful and respectful. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Kandra was highly recommended and exceeded my expectations. I was scared when I went in and left feeling completely confident that he would give me the best care possible. I feel much more at ease now.

Dr Kandra seems knowledgeable. His NP does too. Dr Kandra lets me be a part of decision making about my healthcare and explains why I can and can't change things. I followed him to Norton's because I like him.
