I don't recall seeing anything on here about them and wondered why.
Thank you

While I do not wish to speek ill of any particular doctor that may be in their employ, they just don't have the best reputation as a group of hospitals. For a reference of the best places in the US, just go to the main web site - resources page, and about halfway down you will see a link called "Best Hospitals". This is a link to a very unbiased survey of cancer treatment facilities rated 1 to 50 in the order of ranking. It is published each year by US News and World Reports. You can't buy your ranking here. CCofA doesn't even make the list.
