Texas Children's Cancer & Hematology Centers

We were going to Texas Children's Hospital for our five-year-old daughter. The oncologist we were seeing lied to us multiple times. There were other bad experiences we had with other people at that hospital, but we have audio recordings of Dr. Foster lying. One of the lies was that cancer can't spread from a biopsy. I'll add more information later. If this hospital is your only option, I'd recommend avoiding Dr. Foster.

My daughter has been a patient in the oncology center for 3 years now. She was diagnosed at age 8 w/ Synovial Sarcoma. Her oncologist is Dr Venkatramani and I have been very pleased with his care. He always addresses my concerns and never makes me feel like my concerns are not valid. As the mom of a cancer kid that is very important to me. He is knowledgeable about my daughter's diagnosis. Her surveillance has been fairly aggressive since this all started and the communication from Dr Venkatramani has been outstanding. I appreciate his attention to detail and his willingness to address all problems or concerns asap.

I walked in, thinking it was going to be a depressing atmosphere due to the sickness they treat. I was blown away by the environment that they have set up. They have game systems and a lot of different things to keep the kids entertained. One of the staff members stopped what he was doing and assisted a few kids with syncing the Wii system after they asked him.The walls were brightly colored and decorated with various art. Its easy to forget that you are in a hospital. My son wanted to stay longer and explore. You can tell that the staff are passionate about what they do and who they are there for. Dr. Dreyer took her time and listened to my son and I and answered all of our questions and addressed our concerns. She had my son laughing the entire time we were in the exam room. She had a grandmotherly aura about her. If the unfortunate illness arises, this is a fortunate place to be. I truly could not have asked for better care for my son.

Can you take blood from a patient that is in remission and turn the plasma into a serum. Inject the serum into a patient that has cancer. Inject in both arms and into infected area.

Beautiful facility and friendly staff. I'd take my kids here without question.

They helped me survive cancer and thenks

Very friendly staff
