      Hello, after too many stressful, delayed appointments at MDA my husband and I are looking into other options for his care.willing to travel but would prefer to be close to home. We have 4 kids and my husband travels for work as well. Can anyone recommend an oncologist in the Dallas Fort Worth area? I know of two, I would just appreciate personal experience of anybody has any. Thank you so much.

           My husband sees Dr. Cowey at Texas Oncology-Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center.  Located near downtown Dallas.

              Thank you, I have a friend who sees him too. I'm going to make a consultation appointment.

                Dr. Cowey has been great. Got to see him through Checkpoint 915 (Nivo v. Ipi. v. Combo Trial)

                And props to the whole team at Texas Oncology at Sammons. Fantastic facility. Great staff.

                    I've been on that same trial.  I have one more treatment to go and then i'm done.  So excited.  Scans have been all clear.

                      Dr. Cowey at Baylor (Texas Oncology) in Dallas.  He specialized in melanoma.  Great doc.
