This practice is top notch. I've never experienced any place that has operated as smoothly, ever. From the way it runs all the way to each and every nurse, technician, front desk person, literally every single aspect of the Proton Center is amazing. Nothing compares anywhere. |

I saw both Dr Stokes and an associate of his. Between the two of them all of my questions were answered and I felt secure in what they told me. This is been a particularly unsure and uneasy time of my life, as was to be expected. During my visits with Dr Stokes and every member of his staff I have felt well cared for and safe. This could have been a disastrous time of my life but instead because of the assurances I got along the way and the professionalism of Dr Stokes it's just been a journey, not a time of dread or fear. Kudos |

I did not see him wash hands before or after visit. Could have acknowledged my family member a little better when he came in. Also, it would be nice if he could be more comfortable looking you in your eyes when speaking. However, very pleasant and patient. He gave a good explanation of test results and future plans. |

I am very, very blessed that Dr. Stokes and Allison Kam PA have been with me every step of my proton therapy treatment for head & neck cancer. They each have worked diligently to ensure the best possible outcome for me. I'm grateful for their knowledge and dedication to every patient. I am most grateful for their sincere compassion and empathy they each show me at each visit - not just as a patient, but as a fellow human being. I am approaching 5 years since the beginning of this life changing experience and I am grateful every day that Alison and Dr. Stokes have been there for me. |
