Dr. Alsfeld helped make one of the scariest times of my life more comfortable. He took the time to explain my options, answer all of my questions, and made certain that I was more knowledgeable about what was to come. If I have to recommend an oncologist, it would be him.

Our Response:
Thank you for your kind words. Our staff's knowledge, compassion, and expertise are what make us a trusted healthcare provider. Have a great day!

Nothing builds trust and respect between a physician and patient more than when the physician takes time to explain the deliberative process of diagnosis and treatment and the physician lends an ear to allow that patient to fumble through concerns and questions - Clark Alsfeld, M.D, epitomizes this quality and gives his patients even more comfort during ailing times….

The whole experience of my husbands first visit nothing short of amazing. Every single smiling friendly face was a welcome sight. Appreciate the skilled staff, from the reception area to the lab department to the examination room . Very pleased with our appointment. All though dealing with huge health issues, the visit was great.

Thorough and courteous

Our Response:
It's good to hear about your positive experience with us. We work hard to make sure our patients receive the best quality of care. Thank you for choosing us!

August 2022

Dr.Alsfeld was always attentive to my needs. If I contacted him regarding medical concerns he would call me after hours to discuss those medical concerns… He is awesome and I would recommend him to anyone.

I first met Dr. Alsfeld when he was a fellow at Md Anderson. He followed my stem cell transplant. Two years I transferred my care to Oschner Main Campus in New Orleans and Dr. Alsfeld manages my local care requirement and labs. He has been a pleasure to work with and has been a huge reason for my success.

Our Response:
Thank you for your feedback. We're always happy to hear that we've provided an exceptional experience for our patients. We wish you all the best!

Dr Alsfeld and his entire staff treat us with compassion and professionalism beyond reproach. He makes sure we understand everything that’s going on and spends a lot of time with us.

He is a very caring and understanding doctor.
