I went through treatment for stage 4 throat cancer and now 4 years later I am cancer free. It was kicking my butt at times, but I knew between Dr. Brown, his PA Ricki, the office staff, all the other doctors and their staff and especially my wife who carried the brunt of the work such as listening to what doctors said, making sure I consumed enough calories every day and not to mention the burden of the worry. Dr. Brown, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of a radiation oncologist and truly cares about you and your health. I’m getting back to singing and doing my Elvis impersonations. So, Dr. Brown, I want to say to you “thank you, thank you very much”, from the bottom of my heart!
I cannot express enough, my appreciation for Dr. Fitch and the genuine care and concern he has shown me during and after my treatment! I will never forget it!
Dr. Fox was so great. She made me feel comfortable and at ease. I cannot thank her enough.
Dr. Alan Brown Jr. is known to me as my beloved Dr. Teddy Bear. This man saved my life so I could live another 5 years. This man saved the optical nerve so I wouldn't lose my vision. This man gave me big teddy bear hugs. This man I trusted my brain with. This is the man I was blessed with. The real person behind the Dr. from Harvard. May his girls grow up to be persistent with their goals, have compassion, and give big teddy bear hugs to others, just like their father.

What my time with you at Advocate Radiation Oncology has taught me is that breast cancer cannot defeat me. My time spent with all of you who were so positive, kind and joyful taught me that together we can defeat cancer and be joyful and celebrate life.
Well, it's been a crazy year. It was one year ago I had my first chemo and radiation treatments. I have to thank Dr. Brown and his staff. No words can express how grateful I am! I was lucky, not everyone gets a second chance.
Advocate Radiation is always as accommodating as possible. Fun, smiling, happy, just all around the best tech staff ever. I would recommend them for anything anyone needs.
Clinically expert, caring, compassionate physicians and the staff are excellent, supportive & unfailingly kind.
Dr. Brown and his staff are the best. They are very professional and caring. They treat each patient with respect. Very positive experience.
I want to thank Dr. Fitch and the staff for all being so kind, caring and supportive through my breast cancer radiation treatments. It makes such a big difference when you’re going through this! Thank you all again for being such a wonderful staff and I am so very thankful that you take my insurance 😊.
Dr. Garton has been such a kind and caring doctor to me during this difficult time. She did everything in such a loving, caring way and her beautiful smile took my fears away. I’ll carry her in my heart always!
More than a year ago, doctors and angels literally snatched me back from death’s door and helped me survive stage 4 malignant lung cancer which allows me to pursue art as a new and challenging endeavor. They are my heroes, and care about curing what’s wrong with us and ensuring that our boundaries for life can be unlimited. All we have to do is follow their prescription for recovery. It works. With a projection of only surviving a few short weeks, Dr. Arie Dosoretz and my care team gave me more time on this planet to seek the beauty of art and life. I will always thank them eternally for what they’ve done for me.
