They run up your bill with tests on equip they own (rent?) and are all about sqeezing your insurance company. They SKIP cheap diagnostics to jump to the PET scan. Told hubs he had lymphoma and jacked him around for months. He didn't have it.

Their office staff is ATROCIOUS.

They are to be avoided, imo. We have excellent hospitals and great docs here. Tex Onc ain't part of that.
