Patient Support Services

The fight against cancer is a team effort. We at Austin Cancer Center have spent the past 40+ years building a reputation for genuine compassion and medical excellence, because we are each dedicated to doing what’s best for our patients physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Our reputation and dedication to care has afforded us strong relationships with like-minded others and an extensive list of primary and additional services for each patient. Ask your cancer treatment team if you need help in any of these areas – they will be glad to connect you.

Testimonials

I know that it is still early in the game, but following dad’s Cyber Knife treatment on Tuesday, he has had no pain and no side effects. He is a new man, and is gently stepping back on to the ice a little at a time.

Dear Dr. Vin, I just wanted to express my gratitude for your kind compassionate manner with my Grandma… When we were in the room, I got to witness your extraordinary calm presence and the care you took to just be there for her and not rush off to the next patient.

Dr. Coombs-Skiles, We thank you not only for your skills and knowledge but also your caring and comforting manner. We feel so blessed that we were lead to you and your staff.

Dr. Coombs-Skiles, I am so grateful that you took care of me and saved my life. Thank you. Such small words for such an accomplishment.

Dr. Downie is the kind of doctor you want on your cancer team. He wants to win the race; he’s sharp, he’s competitive, and he wants you to beat cancer. He’s the runner that’s going encourage you every step of the way. Dr. Downie is a compassionate listener, someone who really considers what his patients have to say. He stops to think about and analyze their concerns and questions before giving an answer.
