I cannot begin to say how much we love Dr. Powell. The appointment was for my 86 year old father. He doesn't like too many people, but Dr. Powell is an exception. His bedside manner, his smile, his attitude are amazing.

Absolutely love Dr Powell. Have nothing but amazing things to say about him. Understandably his job is not easy, but the way he shows he truly cares for his patients and makes himself available (to me and collaborating providers across the country) is nothing short of amazing. So lucky and grateful to have him as my oncologist.
