Patient Reviews
My experience was everything you could hope for while going through such a stressful experience. I felt like the staff knew and cared about me as an individual and were sensitive to my needs both physical and emotion. When my treatments were over I was emotional and scared. Felt like I was flying without a net. The nurses were so reassuring.
I have recommended Dr. Altoos to a couple of my friends who were looking for a oncology radiologist.
This team of front desk and clinical staff is incredible! They were so thoughtful, kind and patient with our family. We are lucky to have found Premier Radiation Oncology during such a difficult time. Dr. Altoos and her team really made a huge difference in our lives.
I’m giving Premier Radiation Oncology Associates my highest rating because their doctors and staff were above and beyond my expectations (especially considering what I went through with other facilities for the next 1.5 years dealing with cancer and its side effects).
My advice to others who need chemo and radiation treatments would be to choose a place like PROA for your provider. Ask questions and listen for answers, take notes, bring your health care surrogate or a friend to be with you and listen. Ask about ALL possible side effects even if they are rare. I had no idea that radiation can cause weakness in bones or exacerbate osteopenia.
I had some expected side effects with radiation with some diarrhea, but having some lower back issues already, I had no idea the radiation made my bones even weaker – so much so, I broke the bones in my lower back without knowing it.
I looked up how and where these breaks could happen and got my answer. The chemo and radiation killed the four tiny spots near the area around where my hysterectomy had been, but weakened my lower spine and tailbone so much that when I collapsed in my bathroom at home I broke my tailbone (sacrum) which cannot be fixed and cracked a disk in the L4-5 area that had to have surgery. I could no longer walk on my own and had to do about six months of physical therapy (in patient) at several different locations! Believe it or not, I am still in PT and need to use two canes to help me walk and stay balanced!
This doesn’t change my rating for PROA at all but to warn what others may go through. …and believe it or not, I did not have very many side effects from my whole journey. Plus I would like to recommend not only PROA and its staff but give special thanks to Dr Tagrid Altoos – the best, smartest, sweetest and knowledgeable doctor of all that I’ve had on my long trip!!!
…and have a talented family who can paint a bald head if necessary!!!
Great cancer treatment center with all the advanced treatments modalities by skilled staff and physicians. They were able to accommodate me in their very busy schedule. Always felt at ease and every one was friendly, knowledgeable and took their time to get to know you and treat you . Never rushed and answered all my questions and concerns . Explained the treatment step by step and they updated my oncologist with my progress. Dr. Altoos is a wonderful, caring and knowledgeable physician. Highly recommend.
Dr. Altoos treated my husband twice for cancer so when I found out I had breast cancer, there was no hesitation where I would go for my radiation treatments. From the ladies that greet you with smiles when you walk in the door, to the wonderful nurses that give you lots of encouragement, the incredible radiation team along with the sweet, kind and patient Dr. Altoos, you could not find a better place for your treatments. I highly recommend them and could not thank them enough.
When I first arrived for my 20 radiation treatments, the whole process seemed pretty scary to me! However, Dr. altoos and her nurse and all the technicians were so professional and efficient with their own personal touch that I quickly relaxed and felt as if I was receiving excellent treatment. I thank the entire staff for their help and care!
Dr. Altoos treated my mother for breast cancer and she was exceptional in every way, compassionate, professional, detail’s oriented and called us back whenever we had questions. One of the best Radiation Oncologist in Tampa Bay Area hands down. Thank you for everything. Phenomenal treatment center, staff and physicians. Highly recommended by our Oncologist for a good reason.

I cannot say enough good things about Premier Radiation Oncology. Everyone there is truly amazing. They gave me comfort, were uplifting and always ran on schedule. Thank you to Dr. Altoos, technicians, nurses and staff for making a difficult time so much more bearable.
Dr. Altoos is amazing. She is the most caring, selfless, and talented doctor I have ever met. She has treated two members of my family and two close friends, and with each and every one she has gone above and beyond in their care. She has actually renewed my faith in doctors having humanity. Even if there are no appointments available the doctors and staff work extra hours to accomodate your medical needs. I can’t say enough positive things about this facility and thank God that my family and friends have received such good care.
My first experience was when my mom was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer that went internally.We met Dr. Altoos and our first impression was she is so friendly, attentively listened to our concerns and explained everything so we could understand.My mom had undergone many treatments for four different areas and while she was going I had my second experience when I had breast cancer in my right breast. Mom and I went together for treatments. My mom and I felt that Dr. Altoos and all the office staff, technicians and nurses and the insurance staff are our family. My third experience was just last year with having cancer in my left breast and needing radiation treatments.Speaking from experience, Dr. Altoos has a very caring heart, and very knowledgeable!! I trust her completely,and feel very blest to have found her and all the wonderful people that work there.
Every visit is a ***** 5 star…each associate is knowledgeable timely polite and encouraging. Especially Thank You Dr. Altoos!! You are a blessing!! … & your staff is very welcoming! I Am Thankful!
Dr. Altoos is the perfect Dr. you need, when you are going through any cancer….They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable at all times. Even the front desk ladies immediately welcome you and direct you…everyone has so much compassion for the patient. They Make You Feel At Home!
Great cancer treatment center highly recommended by my Doctor. Dr. Altoos and staff went above and beyond. That’s what medical care should be like . You feel cared for and treated with the most advanced treatment options offered in big institutions with the convenience of being close to home. 10/10
I can’t say enough about how compassionate and professional they are. The moment you walk in, the front office staff greets you and treat you like family. Dr. Altoos is compassionate and knowledgable. They also have the latest most advanced true beam machine found only in larger state of the art facilities. Top notch staff, physicians and equipment, you couldn’t ask for me. Thank you.
Dr. Altoos is phenomenal. Highly recommend by my friend who was treated there for Breast cancer and was very pleased with the care she received there. Pleasant staff and exceptional care.
My mother went and so pleased with their current staff! Such great people! Dr. Altoos is amazing! No other doctor in the area is as caring or as smart!
I was treated there back in 2018 by Dr Altoos. I know both Doctors who work there personally and I would send anyone in need of their services to them. The Doctors as well as the staff are all incredible at what they do. I would suggest anyone in need of radiation services go with these incredible professionals.
From Dr. Altoos, to the nursing staff that see you prior to the doctor, to the radiology techs that do the radiation treatments, to the front office staff there is no place else to be when you get this type of diagnosis. You are made to feel optimistic from day one. Thank you
