[redacted] I absolutely loved Dr. Qadan he was so easy to discuss things with and made me feel very comfortable. He fully explained the type of tumor that I have and also showed me pictures of my ultrasound which showed exactly where the tumor was on my pancreas and the size. Dr. Qadan then discussed the treatment plan he felt was best for me. I have great faith in him and will be back in 6 months. I would 100% recommend the cancer center at Newton Wellesley hospital and specifically Dr. Qadan.

As a physician, I was impressed with his overall character and intelligence, and I very much appreciated the medical students' input and the residents that were there. So it was overall a very good experience, and I say that as a neuro-ophthalmologist with 40 years of experience training residents and medical students.
