    I have always had a good experience with any employee that I have come across in the hospital. I was blessed to have Dr. Marcus Noel as my doctor. I am a cancer survivor. During the process he explained everything to me in detail and walked me through the process. I thank God for him. Knowing your job and being passionate about it makes a huge difference.Dr. Noel is passionate about his patients.

    Excellent appointment from beginning to end. Dr. Noel and his staff are the best cancer specialists in this region. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. The resident explained my lung scans, and I understood everything he said. The entire unit is so professional.
