This was my first visit to the Cancer center in Seneca. A friend told me in advance Dr. Howes was very thorough. She described my options in detail, then went over the one I chose. I will have more to say after I start my radiation treatments

nothing. This office is top notch.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/15/2026
There is no way to improve on Dr Howes or her care. She listens carefully to my concerns, gives me accurate information, does not make me feel rushed and always with a kind and caring attitude. She always makes me feel that she genuinely cares about me and helps me plan a sensible avenue for my health. I would never think of replacing her with my care.

My experience with Dr. Howes and the Cancer center was exceptional. There is not one thing I can think of that would improve my time there.

If Dr. Howes wasn't great, why would I be going there

Dr. Howes is the best physician I have ever worked with. I wish my primary care physician (also a Prisma physician) were half as good as Dr. Howes.

Therese is a very personable doctor. She spends a lot of quality time with you and makes the process understandable. All doctors should have the same qualities as her.

I was so impressed with my visit. Dr. Howes had familiarized herself with my medical condition and general health. She clearly had studied my medical record. She spent an inordinate amount of time with me, explaining carefully why she is making the recommendation that she is and answering all my questions thoroughly, with clarity and never making me feel rushed. I could not have gotten better care.

No. Everyone was great!

I can't say enough about the group at the Cancer Clinic. All the people who work at that clinic are wonderful as if they were born to do this work. I've told everyone there how I feel about my treatment. I would (and have) recommend this group to family and friends. If there is anything that needs improvement, I don't know about it.

Can not think of a thing. Nurse and Doctor Howes were, and are top notch. I trust them with my life and my life is on the line!

Dr Howes was incredible!!!!! She explained everything in layman's terms and we developed a fantastic plan thanks to her and her in-depth explanation of my situation. I can't wait to continue working with her and her staff to complete my treatment plan!!!!

Excellent
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/14/2025
I was treated with much respect and love as soon as I walked in the office. Dr. Howes was so supportive and understanding when I met her the first time. The nurses and staff were so friendly and wanted to make sure I understood what was going on. I can't brag on this staff enough.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/14/2025
I have complete trust with Dr Howes. She gave the most thorough description of what we have so far and what we're going to do. She is the best doctor I've ever experienced.

Dr. Howes is wonderful. And her staff is excellent. I feel very fortunate to have them on my side

I appreciate the caring and positive people involved in my care during this potentially stressful time and have no suggestions for improvement.

Dr., Howes and staff were exceptional. They provided a bridge over troubled waters, when my Prisma Primary Care physician accepted a position with another medical community (AnMed). Rx and provisions provided by my prior primary care physician and nursing staff failed. Dr. Howes and her professional team allowed for time to secure "New Patient" appointments and Rx with another Primary Care provider.

Not sure, great service
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 6/5/2025
There is no way to improve care at the cancer center. Dr. Howes is an awesome doctor. She explains everything in a way that I can understand. She always asked if I have any questions and will answer them. She takes time to help you, and that is a big plus. All the employees at the cancer center are awesome, from the doctors to the receptionists. I'm always greeted with big smiles and that also helps put you at ease.

Provide magazines to read like it was before those d--n cell phones!

Everything was done very ethically and professionally. I would change nothing. Dr. Howes is the best.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/31/2025
Dr. Howes is the absolutely best physician I have ever worked with. She sets the standard by which all other physicians should be measured with respect to caring for and about the patient, to posessing superior technical knowledge, and to showing a willingness/readiness to adapt plans (to accommodate patients) while maintaining essential Healthcare protocols.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/31/2025
There isn't any I know of everyone was great
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/31/2025

I can't think of anything to add. I am very pleased with Dr. Howes and her staff.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/1/2025
when entering the visit, I was very concerned about my health condition, DR Howes stayed and talked with me until I fully understood completely my health problem. Can't thank her and her staff enough.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/24/2025
I have been satisfied with each doctor and nurse and staff member that I've had contact with.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/21/2025
Keep on doing what they do. Dr and staff are the best!
