Highlands Oncology Group

Dr. Tantchou is a great doctor. She has excellent bedside manner and is very thorough in explaining your medical care and medical procedures. Would 100% recommend.

Amazing human

Dr. Ivy is my Gyn Onc Surgeon for Uterine Cancer. As with every busy, highly-qualified professional I've ever seen, his time is very precious - so that can make my appointment time with him seem rushed. Knowing that specialists have tight schedules, I always have my questions ready for him; written on paper, or on my phone, so I can "rapid fire" ask him. He's not my family doctor - he's my doctor that specializes in lady-parts cancer. So, I don't expect him to take care of anything else. Having this in mind, I think he's a brilliant, conscientious, caring, up-to-date-with-latest-technologies doctor. As with many humans that excel at their craft, he seems really, really good at his specialty, but not excellent in bedside manner. Don't get me wrong, he communicates just fine, and answers every question I have. But, he's not a big, gregarious, extroverted type that caters to a patient's every emotional need (like some patients seem to need). And, I don't need him to be. I just need him to be an excellent surgeon - and that, he IS.! Every part of my surgery went as he explained it would. He's gone to a lot of trouble to become highly trained in removing lady bits with cancer, in such a way, to prevent/minimize potential spread of that cancer. The scars left from my robotic laparoscopic operation, are teeny tiny. One is almost completely gone, after 15 months. The post-op complications I had were not caused by, nor were they the responsibility of Dr. Ivy. We no longer live in a Healthcare System where the doctor controls the entire process. So, I will post my anger and frustration, concerning the mistakes made outside of Dr Ivy's purview, where they belong. I see several reviews on Dr Ivy that blame him for things that were most likely the fault of the hospital or healthcare workers that dropped the ball. I thank my lucky stars Dr. Joseph Ivy was my Gynecological Oncologist!

My wife of 40 years had stage 4 pancreatic and liver cancer. The survival rate is 3%, Brautnick had no compassion and put her on chemotherapy after telling us she could live another year or two. A lie! She took what life my wife had and ruined it. She should’ve sent her home! She was 78. Why? Money- about $21,000 for 3 treatments plus all the doctors charges, labs, etc. Look at the overhead of that building and all those doctors. Go to Washington Regional. My wife passed after 2 1/2 months from diagnosis in Hospice at home. She suffered terribly. Never heard anything from Highlands again. She was sick in chemotherapy and Brautnick told her if she can’t get the diahrrea stopped they can’t do chemo. Brautnick was in charge of all her health care. Brautnick was horrible and didn’t care. NO COMPASSION! NO ETHICS!! Make your decisions carefully. When these things happen to people, they don’t know the pain they cause the survivors. What they did to my wife will never go away. I’m sorry, none of this should have happened.

I wish my young daughter would have seen the same determination to help as you have all stated here, maybe she would still be with us.

We recently had to bring my mom in & we were so impressed with the cozy atmosphere & the kindness we felt from every staff member we met! My mom has had great care & Highlands Oncology has made a scary, hard time for our family easier on us. Highly recommend! Mountain Home is grateful to have you!

Highlands oncology from check in to check out is 5 star care. The lab techs and infusion ladies welcome you like friends. Dr. Zak and Boone his APRN are making sure to provide 5 star care. They ensure that you are getting pre meds to help you not be sick and not to suffer through chemo. I know not everyone feels the same about their care but for me 5 star + at Mountain Home Highlands oncology. PS the convenience of the on site pharmacy is Amazing!
