Patient testimonials:

“From the moment I walked into the clinic, I feel a sense of not just professionalism, but warmth. A sense that the entire staff cares and will do their very best to help.”

Lynn Jaxon

“I’ve never been treated so kind and respected! If you have this type of disease, I would highly recommend Missouri Cancer Associates. I had a bone marrow biopsy and was very fearful. They made it a walk in the park. I can’t say enough good things about this organization!”

Shelia Winter

“Very professional and efficient staff. They have a seamless process that makes patients feel comfortable and cared about. The speed of which we were tackling my cancer was incredible. Within two days of my first consultation, I had surgery to remove cancerous tumor and had a long term plan in place for treatment. Dr. Vellek knows his stuff and I wouldn’t want to fight this battle with anyone else. Thanks to Dr. Vellek and the amazing staff at Missouri Cancer Associates. I beat colon cancer that had metastasized in my liver.”

Roellig Backhoe

“Very courteous staff! They get you in and out, and my doctor, Dr. Andrew Iliff, is a very good oncologist. He explains what’s going on and defines the different treatments available and lets you choose what you would like to try first if that’s available. I so appreciate the friendliness and down to earth and feeling of the staff for what you’re going through very friendly. I would recommend Missouri Cancer Associates. This is an amazing team of total professionals.”
