What Our Patients Say

Joyce Buckingham, Foxboro, MA
Everyone at the Caritas Cancer Center was so very professional and so very kind. It was a team, a family, and, they made me feel more like a guest than a patient coming for treatment.

I couldn’t imagine driving a long distance to and from treatment—five-days-a-week for over a month. It was a gift to have this place so close to my home; it gave me peace of mind. I know I made a good decision coming to the center.

I finally had that routine colonoscopy at Caritas Norwood Hospital, the last thing I expected was to hear that I needed surgery. But with my wife’s help, we did the homework, got a second opinion from a doctor in Boston, and chose to have the surgery and treatment close to home.

Dr. Kevin McCarthy performed the surgery and my oncologist, Dr. James Popkin, provided the follow-up treatment. The whole experience was excellent. Every aspect of care was excellent. I’m thankful that I listened to my family doctor and had the colonoscopy—a screening that most likely saved my life.

I knew I had a long road of treatment in front of me. But I was so grateful that I had treatment options so close to my own home. It was a positive experience from the first day of my radiation treatment at the Caritas Cancer Center.

The staff reassured me that they would be with me every step of the way—and they were. The center is like a community, a hometown filled with people who care about you. The professionals who cared for me made me feel very confident about picking up my life again—about surviving.
