DO Recommendation

I'm in the Metro Phoenix area and am finishing up with 44 radiation treatments soon.

My RO has been great but it's time to move on.

Does anyone have a DO recommendation in the N. Phx/Metro Phx area?

Thanks

Jeff

DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathy. MD stands for Medical Doctor. Both are physicians.

I have been using Bryce from Mayo and have been happy. If Mayo isn't an option, Brendon Curley was highly recommended by my routine MD, who happens to be recently DX'd with PC and uses him.

Good luck in your searching.

Thanks Dave!

Mayo doesn't accept my insurance, so Bryce is not an option.

I see Dr Dave at MD Anderson at Boswell in Sun City AZ. Since she's linked to MD Anderson she's been very helpful in getting my meds approved through my insurance.
