Saint Louis Children's HEM/ONC

Dr. Barone has a very friendly attitude. However, she very rarely came to see my son while he was there for his treatments. After two chemo cycles, I actually had to call her and request she come see him at the next one. She didn't really give me that great of a comfort level. When she was too busy to see my son, he saw a nurse practitioner. But the nurse practitioners knew nothing. They would tell me one thing and then when i would finally see the doctor it was something completely different. So there was a great lack of communication and knowledge. However, the nursing staff that gave my son the chemo was amazing. I have no complaints toward them. They were very friendly and personable. They showed they cared very much about their patients. I would use Children's oncology again. Although, I would try using a different oncologist.

I got an appointment for the next day. Office was in a MoBap medical building, and staff was great, didn't have a long wait. Dr looked at my rash, prescribed an antibiotic (ran a culture) and steroid cream and it was almost gone by Saturday! I have had a history of skin cancer so I made an appointment to follow up with her on the rash and for some suspicious spots (I've not been good about the regular check ups that requires), since this was a quick look and see appointment - and my first with her - for a couple weeks later. They requested records from previous docs in the meantime, so when I arrived for second appt she was ready to give me a once over. She froze a spot on my lip and it's healed beautifully. There were two other spots that didn't clear up, so I need to go back soon, but my first and second experience with her went very well. I expect to be her patient for as long as she's able to see me!

The experience with Dr. King has went good. She is easy to get ahold of. She is very knowledgeable, and personable. The staff is professional. I would see her again in the future.
