City of Hope South Pasadena - South Pasadena, California

Cari

It's tough for me to be diagnosed with diabetes on top (and as a result) of cancer. BUT...the whole process is a lot smoother when you have a team like Feng, MD; Manzano, FNP; Alpha, RN, CDE and the kind and efficient nurses and front desk staff. Sorry, chemo brain...I may forget names but I will not forget your kind smiling faces, polite and happy demeanor.

Today I saw J. Manzano FNP and she patiently took the time to answer my many, oh-so-many questions. She addressed every concern, discussing innovative solutions and making referrals. At every single appointment with her I've felt respected, understood and empowered.
I am grateful and blessed to have a health provider that puts her obvious vast knowledge into practice and delivers care with the heart of a nurse.
THANK YOU💜

I had an incredibly positive experience at City of Hope Cancer Research Hospital in South Pasadena during my mom's battle with breast cancer at the age of 75. The staff at this specific facility, especially Dr. Schultz-Costello and Dr. Yeon, demonstrated exceptional thoroughness in reviewing the results, ensuring that every detail was explained comprehensively.

City of Hope provided a language virtual interpreting service, enabling detailed explanations in Korean for my mom, who did not speak English. Their compassion towards my mom and our family was evident, taking the necessary time without rushing or making us feel hurried. The overall experience was not only professional but also surprisingly pleasant. We are grateful for the care and attention we received.

Communication, both directly by doctors and through assistants, nurses, and receptionists, was exceptional. I highly commend them and recommend City of Hope South Pasadena, especially for those who may have had negative experiences elsewhere or felt ignored by doctors. City of Hope isn't just focused on curing cancer; it also emphasizes empathy and sympathy towards both patients and their families, navigating this challenging time together as a team.

They demonstrated flexibility in scheduling chemotherapy and radiation for my mom. During her mastectomy, our surgeon collaborated with a plastic surgeon to achieve the best possible result. This collaborative approach proved critical, as my aunt recently underwent mastectomy in a poorly rated Los Angeles hospital. Comparatively, my mom's surgery result was phenomenal, with significantly fewer scarring and cosmetic issues. Kudos to City of Hope South Pasadena.

Wonderful place. Had a horrible experience elsewhere. But here the doctors, nurses and staff treat you like a human being not just a case. They seem to truly care about what you’re going through. The fear I had has diminished with their positive attitude no doom and gloom I love all of them

Dr. Feng and her nutritionist Jaqui have helped me get my blood sugar under control. I have never in my life as a diabetic (16 years) have had it this under control. Type 1 diabetes was such a devastating diagnoses. I fell into deep depression and her and her staff really helped me get my life back. I owe it all to them. I am eternally grateful.
