The scanned in test results are unreadable. Which is not the providers fault. But, it needs to be fixed.

Dr. Pierson and his nurses take time to listen carefully and then answer in a practical way.

Dr. Pierson is outstanding professionally and personally.

My apt was cancelled and I was still expected to come in for a blood draw. Then apt was put in as a new customer. I had to fill out “new to St Als” paperwork.

12/04/2023

The nursing staff went out of there way to help me, and made sure I was comfortable and they were good at what they do, which was a great comfort.

12/04/2023

Great Dr.

11/30/2023

really knows his field. his manner is outstanding

11/30/2023

Introductions and a review of record history along with asking questions beyond how are you feeling would be helpful in the moment especially if patient is already anxious or has been passed around to multiple providers/ nurses.

11/28/2023

Dr Peiarson was a good person and explained everything in detail I believe the problem was them calling the wrong place to get the information that they needed.

11/24/2023

Information received was not specific enough.

I simply cannot say enough good things about this wonderful facility, that deals with such agonizing issues for the patients.

01/04/2023

online check in time was different than check in time for lab work.

11/29/2022

Dr. Pierson know that I have other health issues unrelated to cancer and is always very caring in his manner and his attention to my safety. safety.

11/26/2022

Can't think of anyone who'd ever think they'd have to see an Oncologist, but it happens when you least expect it. If you have been diagnosed with anything related to cancer then you'd want to see the best of the best Specialist, and that'd be Dr. Pierson and his more than qualified Staff. NJT.

11/24/2022

Dr Pierson is the greatest Dr. I have ever met a

10/05/2022

Dr Pierson, his staff and assistants, along with the cancer care infusion nurses and team are second to none.A Family everyone deserves. Can't thank them enough.

10/05/2022

It was a first visit. But the Doctor had done his background work on me

09/29/2022

Have nothing more to add. All services were excellent.

08/28/2022

Very professional and compassionate

08/24/2022

NIce experience

08/13/2022

Appointment made right away, lab work done there, treatment received a week later

08/04/2022

i was very pleased because i had a pet scan and the dr. himself called to let me know how it went

07/28/2022

I have confidence in *Dr. Pierson & know that he will be candid and truthful with me.

07/25/2022

Everything was super & on time. Everyone was great.

07/17/2022

Good doctor.

07/13/2022

Excellent, as usual.

05/29/2022

A good experience

05/26/2022

Very good

05/18/2022

The best care and understanding

04/27/2022

Dr. Petee is a well informed, knowledgeable, and congenial physician that shows an honest concern about your health and discusses with you at length on how to reach a satisfactory result ( if one is possible). Dr. Black, also at your facility, performed foot surgery on me with excellent results.

04/23/2022

I have told Dr Pierson that I have only had 2 surgeries in my life. Tonsils out at age 6 and an operation last July.He is very convinced I had an additional surgery or two based on test screening he has done on my back.I'd appreciate if he would review his views and x-rays with me. I've played competitive sports my whole life and have been injured for awhile but never operated on.

04/12/2022

He is the best provider I have had. He is very caring and always explains my labs concerning my multiple myeloma.

04/06/2022

I highly recommend *Dr. Pierson; he is very friendly and exhibits a high level of expertise. I have misgivings about St. Alphonsus as a business organization. Any blessings which forces employees to undergo a medical procedure is morally bankrupt.

04/06/2022

Everyone was doing the best they could it was the first day, they were a little behind, the girls down stair couldn't get my new insurance card to enter in the computer 3 people worked on that! Up stairs the orders for my blood draw was not in so we waited for that to be reordered. But if the computers were working the apt. would have been great as usual!!

04/05/2022

I was referred by my primary doctor because of elevation in iron. *Dr. Pierson ordered another blood test & it was normal. He called me himself to let me know.

04/04/2022

No problems.

03/27/2022

It was good. First time visit to discuss my large red blood cells.

03/25/2022

*Dr. Pierson is outstanding in his specialty and very kind and humble. We highly value him.

03/22/2022

Good annual check up visit.

03/22/2022

During the CT scan my heart started racing and palpitating. I was really afraid my heart wasn't going to make it. Haven't had that issue before. It was scary.

03/22/2022

VERY INFORMATIVE AND CONCERN

03/21/2022

*Dr. Pierson listened carefully to my questions & took the time to answer & discuss issues without making me feel rushed.

03/10/2022

Furthermore, the lymphocyte that was out of range range 0-5; mine [value], he said was of no concern. He was unaware of *Dr. Leana Guerin's reference to possible a lymphoproliferative disorder. And just for the record, the first thing he did when entering the room was extend an ungloved hand for a hand shake.

03/09/2022

I appreciate the kindness, discretion, courtesy, and wisdom of this staff.

02/25/2022

My visit was very prompt. I was in and out. My physician was very caring and concerned.

02/17/2022

He spent about 10 min. w/me - first told me he was putting me on oxygen at night - No diagnosis - no info of any kin. I am a nervous wreck.

01/25/2022

Always appreciate the doctor and the staff.

01/15/2022

This was my first visit and everyone in this office was great. They put me at ease and were very friendly.

01/14/2022

Very efficient.

01/11/2022

I feel like I did not get a good plan of care. I got more information from my surgeon about the plan. Did not go over what stage of cancer.

01/11/2022

I don't think the lab knew I needed a blood draw after visiting with the doctor; I sat in the waiting room for over an hour and I don't think I was on the list. I had to ask for a reschedule before I was put on the list for lab work.

12/14/2021

I was very pleased!!

12/03/2021

I have always had a very good visit with *Dr. Pierson & his staff.

12/02/2021

*Andrew Pierson is a very knowledgeable friendly doctor who answers all questions and has the best staff working for him.

10/22/2021

The oncology group is one of the nicest, most concerned, and informed group I've ever had the pleasure to be involved with. From tbe office staff to the nurses and technicians, and finally to the doctors, everyone truly has my best interest at heart. I am blessed to be a part of their patient list!

10/20/2021

I feel I have a very good relationship with Dr. Pierson. He has always tried to answer any questions I have had and openly shares and discusses test results and other concerns I share with him.

10/08/2021

Was fine!!

09/22/2021

*Dr. Pierson is VERY thorough and caring. Excellent physician!!

09/12/2021

Dr. Pierson and his staff are excellent clinicians with the highest level of competence. They care deeply about their patients and it shows in the care they provide.

08/17/2021

The visit w/*Dr. Pierson was simply a 6 month check up following cancer - Had blood tests & saw the doctor.

07/27/2021

Very professional. Would have liked a more positive prognoses.

06/30/2021

*Dr. Pierson and *Jessie his nurse are the best.

06/28/2021

06/18/2021

Kind, thoughtful, answered all our questions.

06/18/2021

I was well pleased with the respect & courtesy shown by the entire staff.

06/17/2021

First time visit. The appointment & resulting appointments for blood tests were carried through as expected. Final results from tests were provided to me as promised, & without delay.
