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

My first round of chemotherapy went well. Everyone there is friendly and in good spirits. Stacy is great at drawing blood. She does it with ease and a charming smile. Wendy was great at taking time to talk to me about the infusion and keep me company during the long first session, Dodi has been great with all the financial stuff!

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.

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.

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.
