Patient Reviews
Feb 22, 2023
I was wingman for my best friend who had terminal pancreatic cancer, "2 months", and after seeing several other oncologists and big centers, we found Dr Chaves, who in addition to being one of the most caring MD's ever, got him enough years so he could see his only son graduate and enter college. Highly educated and experienced, compassionate and full of hope, I believe it would be hard to find a better oncologist to treat you or a loved one. R R Lockwood MD

Dr Chaves has been taking care of our mother for over 4 years. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in her liver and and bones. The first cancer doctor we saw told us she had about 6-12 months. Dr C gave us better estimate and hope and so we started treatment with Dr C with chemo. After initial improvement the chemo eventually stopped working. That was 3 years ago: DrC put our mom on a clinical trial, using immunotherapy. Her cancer stopped growing. He never gave up on her and gave us options no one else even considered. Best cancer doctor. Great at communicating and being available. Let us go to Seattle & Portland to talk to univerosty doctors about treatment options- every time they all agreed with Dr C. Our only complaint is that he can run behind in clinic (30 minutes late).
