Great Experience at Moffitt !!

I made the well deserved negative opinions about Moffit and my opinion remains unchanged, the treatment and lack of care I received was nothing short of appalling! I award them 0/0 The doctor I seen did not even send me away with a treatment plan...........apparently he was too busy!

So I guess you were lucky with the doctors and nurses who cared for you!

You will find people on this website can and will have good and bad experiences with the same doctors/hospitals.

I wish you a continued good recovery.

I'm surprised you didn't get any discharge papers which said you should not drive a car for 6 weeks or any of the other limitations one usually has with this type of surgery? I'm glad you had a positive experience. I guess those that have the right insurance do........but please take it easy...read your discharge summary if they gave you one........Pat

Hi Folks,

I was diagnosed on Nov 5 with muscle invasive 5 cm tumor, grade 3, stage 2 (hasn't been restaged yet since surgery),

I was referred to Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa for RC and neobladder. Shortly after that, I read some negative comments about Moffitt on this site, and I was concerned.

On March 13, I had my surgery (by Dr. Wade Sexton), and came home six days after surgery (yesterday, the 19th). Today, I drove myself to the beach for some fresh air.

Although I sure was uncomfortable for 3-4 days, my opinion of Moffitt couldn't be any higher. The doctors and the nursing staff all get 10 out of 10 for effectiveness, consideration, communications, sincere concern, and friendliness. They certainly know their business.

I wanted to pass this along to others who may be facing surgery at Moffitt. My opinion is that they are first-rate.
