My dad was seen by Dr. Brooks for lung cancer. Dad was a Vietnam Veteran suffering from serious heath issues from exposure to Agent Orange. He had VA and Medicare HMO insurance which made getting approval for treatment complicated. When I phoned with questions, Dr. Brooks returned my call himself and patiently explained everything. Dad had to cancel his 1st treatment appointment due to heart issues. Dr. Brooks called to check on him and reassured him that his cancer would still be treatable whenever his heart issues improved. This was a tremendous comfort to my dad and our family. My dad died a few weeks later from heart issues having never been able to begin his cancer treatment. He had the same PCP for 30 years, the same cardiologists for 15 and 25 years. They were great doctors who provided excellent care. We received nice cards from their offices. Dr. Brooks was the only doctor who personally called me with his condolences. He had seen my dad twice. TWICE. Dr. Brooks is next level.
The care that this amazing group provides is beyond medical. It is care for who you are and how you are in everyway. Nobody wants to go to an Oncology group, but if you have to go this is the place. Their care for my mother was quite simply the best of a bad situation. I have never seen a more positive group of doctors or staff.
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
Amazing caring staff from reception to nurses and therapist. Dr. Altoos is the best.

The doctors and staff were all very caring and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them.
Many thanks to Dr. Gauwitz and his friendly professional staff. Five days a week for 8 1/2 weeks and I have nothing but praise for these individuals.
This company is the best. Everyone is caring and kind. I feel like they really care about your health.
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!
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.
I L.O.V.E. Dr. Gauwitz and his whole team. Every single person in this office was so kind and helpful. They all made a difficult, stressful time so much easier. Dr. Gauwitz showed so much care and concern, not just to me but to everyone he interacted acted with, and all his team did the same. I cannot express how lucky i feel to have been referred to dr. Gauwitz and this location. Again, i love them all, i do hope i get to see them around, outside of the office.
Great, caring people at the front desk and treatment area. Physician was very knowledgeable.
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.
Can’t say enough about how great everyone is at Premier, they are supportive, kind, welcoming and make every visit like it was my first. Thank you!
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
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!
In 2011, my primary care physician referred me to Dr. Michael Gauwitz to discuss alternative treatment options to surgery for my recent diagnosis. During my initial meeting with Dr. Gauwitz, he explained my options and outlined the process in clear and concise language. He even made drawings to further illustrate his treatment plan. His patience, kindness, and empathy were comforting at one of the most difficult and challenging times of my life.
Dr. Gauwitz is simply one of a kind. He and his staff are rare in that they all ensure that each and every patient feels welcome, comfortable, and secure. In addition to the warm, approachable manner of Dr. Gauwitz, the environment he has created and nurtured is also displayed in every single staff member I have been in contact with and interacted with each visit. They ensure that my visits are always as pleasant and positive an experience as possible. The fact that the vast majority of his staff have been with him for many, many years proves how much they love Dr. Gauwitz and their chosen professions and they work together like a loving, caring family.
Dr. Gauwitz is the reason I am here today and I can’t thank him and his wonderful staff enough for all they have done to get me through such difficult times.
But there is one more thing that Dr. Gauwitz and his staff have given me and my family that is a true gift. That gift is hope
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!
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.
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.
Dr Gauwitz and his staff at Premier Radiation were such a blessing to our family during such a terrible time. Any cancer diagnosis is horrible but dealing with someone who has dementia and doesn’t comprehend on a normal basis it can really be overwhelming. I have never had such an understanding and compassionate team of health care providers work with us every step of the way. They were so helpful to my sister and I each time we attended the treatments and were always available if we needed anything. The compassion and professionalism was above and beyond. The facilities is too notch all the way! Can’t thank them all enough for the smiles and comfort each day. The simple words, thank you, aren’t enough.
I have been seeing Dr. Gauwitz and his staff for over a year now. Not only are they rockstars at what they do, they genuinely care about my overall health and well-being. I always look forward to seeing them because they are so supportive. Cancer was hard to face. Having their support meant the world to me. Also, I feel better when I understand the process and the technical part of what they are doing. Dr. Gauwitz was so good with educating me and helping me understand the process that it really put me at ease. They are so wonderful that I decided to let people know how amazing they really are. This place is everything you could ever hope for from a doctor’s office.
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.
My dermatologist recommended Premier Radiation Oncology for a stubborn melanoma on my leg. The office on McMullen Booth Road was conveniently located 10 minutes from my house. I called for an appointment and was greeted warmly on the phone by the staff. I was given a variety of appointment options and selected the time most convenient for me. On my first day of arrival, I waited no more than 5 minutes before I was escorted to a private room for a Q & A session with La’Shon Green, RN. She answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable with my decision to see Dr. Michael Gauwitz at Premier Radiation. The doctor spent another 20 minutes describing the six week procedure I was to start the following week. He assured me that my case was in good hands and that the six weeks would fly by.
The following Monday, the treatments began. My appointment was at 10 each Monday through Friday for six weeks. I loved knowing well in advance what days I should block on my calendar for these treatments. Over the next 30 sessions, I would arrive on time, or early, and I never waited more than 6 or 7 minutes in the waiting room for my treatment. In this office, they respect their patients and realize our time in also valuable.
The technicians that set up the radiation treatment were also fabulous to work with. They were friendly, curious, professional and genuinely cared about my health. And, after each 2 minute, pain-free treatment they would thank me for coming in and tell me they looked forward to seeing me the next day.
On a scale of one to ten, this medical facility and staff are at the top of my list with a 10+. I would be happy to speak to anyone that needs reassurance on this team and facility.
Dr. Gauwitz and team were great! He explained the process and how it would work. They were able to work with my schedule so I had minimal disruption to my life. Every one in the office was super nice, professional and empathetic. Would highly recommend this group if the need arises.
Dr. Altoos is an angel. She is the most personable doctor I have ever met. The front office staff and all the medical staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The office itself is very nice and immaculate. I would recommend anyone to use this facility.
Dr. Altoos is the sweetest and most wonderful doctor I have ever met!!! My dad was treated there 4 years ago, my aunt was treated there within the last year and I wouldn’t recommend anywhere better for treatment! She is so loving and welcoming and reassuring through such a scary process and provides the best quality care I have ever seen! The office is absolutely beautiful and feels like home with such wonderful staff all over the office from the front desk, to the nurses, to all the doctors within you always feel welcome 🙂 it is so clean and recently remodeled, they did a beautiful job in appearance and quality of care! We love Dr. Altoos!!! 🙂
Discovering suddenly that you need radiation treatment for something is not pleasant, of course, but if it becomes necessary, there is no other place I would consider going. The office is staffed with friendly and consumately professional people. Dr. Gauwitz made me feel completely confident and relaxed through the entire treatment. He (and the entire staff) don’t just act like they care, they really and quite obviously do. If you have to be treated, I recommend this office very highly.
Best radiation oncology center in the area. Dr. Altoos was so caring and professional caring for my grandmother breast cancer. Great front office and therapist. Truebeam machine provided cut edge technology treatment. Thank you all. Won’t go anywhere else.
I recently underwent 4 weeks of Radiation Therapy at Premier Radiation Oncology Associates office as a treatment following surgical removal of Breast Cancer. The radiation therapy was better than I had expected. Michael Gauwitz, MD, each of the radiation therapists, nurses, and staff members, were consistently knowledgeable, kind and caring to both me and my daughter. Each of the 20 treatments was administered efficiently and effectively. The wait time for each treatment was extremely short. I highly recommend this Physician and Radiation Therapy office to anyone who is ordered to have Radiation Therapy.
I think the entire staff is wonderful and the huge machine is amazing. I’d recommend this place to anyone who needs radiation.
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. Thank you
I recently had 20 sessions of radiation for breast cancer at Premier Radiation Oncology Associates. I cannot say enough good things about them and highly recommend them to provide your treatment. I had no clue as to what to expect but from the moment I stepped into the office and was greeted warmly by the front office staff and sat in the lovely comfortable waiting lounge I felt calmed and knew that all would go well. Dr Gauwitz and the nursing staff explained everything that would happen and how to take care of my skin and myself. The treatments were on schedule and the technicians were so kind, positive and respectful. Dr Gauwitz was a gem. His humor was uplifting and his genuine concern for me as a person was very reassuring.
My experience at this location was wonderful. All staff is very nice and helpful. My doctor there is such a sweet and caring person. I would recommend this location to all my family and friends.
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!
Everyone was so kind and thorough. They took care of every detail. and your time and feelings were respected . There was very little wait time if any.
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.
The best radiation treatment center in the area with the best staff, physicians, top of the line treatment machines and options. They treated my husband for prostate cancer and he is now healthy and cancer free. Can’t thank you guys enough. God bless you all.
Everyone there is so nice and friendly. Dr. Brooks is very kind. My husband had a great experience.
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. Gauwitz and all of his staff were very professional, warm and made sure you were comfortable in the process. I highly recommend them for any radiation services you need!
Successfully treated my prostate cancer with compassion and professionalism. They managed my case even after treatment was complete and continued with annual checkups and testing. Thanks Dr Gauwitz for getting me through this.
February 2021 radiation following breast cancer surgery. Competent, professional, compassionate, efficient, clean, caring, respectful & supportive environment, plus! Wonderful sensitive and sensible doc, and a fabulous blue sky, palm trees and beach poster above the machine.
Everyone in your group was of very compassionate, kind and helpful. Your staff went beyond that by researching and helping my search for a new oncologist and with follow up appt. for mamos. I would recommend Dr. Gauwitz and his associates to anyone. Congratulations to you and hopefully you will have another 20th anniversary! Thank you for all you have done for me.
I had the best possible experience with Dr. Gauwitz and his team. They treat very well in any aspect. They were really concern about my well being all time. I highly recommend Dr. Gauwitz and Premier Radiation Oncology Associates to everybody.
My experience with Dr. Brooks, Dr. Altoos, the radiation technicians, and the entire staff was very positive. They all seem to truly understand and care what we are going through. I am glad I chose Premier Radiation Oncology.
Everyone in the office was kind and professional toward me and each other. Dr Gauwitz and staff went above and beyond to keep me informed on what to expect and the best ways to treat any symptoms. I can’t thank them enough. I am so grateful.
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!!!
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gauwitz and the entire staff at Premier Radiation Oncology! Their kind caring nature made my visits less stressful. And the best part of the whole experience was when Dr. Gauwitz told me at my follow up three months later that the treatments worked and that I no longer had cancer! I will be forever grateful for his knowledge and expertise. I would highly recommend to anyone needing radiation that they asked to see Dr. Gauwitz
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 have used Premier Radiation on two occasions-both times it was a successful experience. From the moment you enter the door until you leave you come into contact with only warm, friendly people. Dr. Gauwitz is exceptional-very caring and so knowledgable. What can I say-they’re pretty near perfect. Thanks!
My treatments occurred during the peak of the pandemic in 2020. Needless to say, this was a complicated time and I was very anxious about the process given all the circumstances. The team here was superb and not only had me immediately feeling safe, but also the compassion showed went a long way to relieving my anxiety. It’s a well-staffed, high tech, clean facility and very convenient to get to as well.
I was treated by Premier Radiation Oncology Associates and staff with safety, kindness, respect, providing quality time to answer questions and to educate. Their offices were business professional and clean. They accommodated difficulties in scheduling. Arrival at their facility was met with positive welcoming greetings by staff. I am grateful for all their efforts in this complicated area of treatment that has helped provide now four years of ongoing enjoyable living . Retired ARNP/Nurse.
Although no one really likes radiation treatment, Premier is an excellent choice. The staff, Dr. Gauwitz and the technicians, all take care of you and make you feel better while you are in their care. If I ever need this again I will choose Premier. And the front office ladies do love treats.
When you are down and not feeling good. The doctor, nurses, technicians were all wonderful, professional, cheerful, helpful, made you feel OK and all is going to be fine. I would recommend them any time. You can’t get any better help anywhere else. It’s now three years ago and with their positive help I feel great. Thank you.
OMG!!! I cannot say enough about Dr. Gauwitz and his wonderful staff. From my first visit when I was very nervous about the treatment Dr. Gauwitz was so kind in explaining everything that was about to happen. Every member of his team treated me with kindness and respect at each and every visit.
BLOWN AWAY by our positive experience with this ENTIRE office staff!! We worked most closely with Karen and Dr Brooks and LOVED them from minute one!! Their compassion, knowledge and level of care is TOP NOTCH!! Dr Brooks impressed me and my family ENORMOUSLY with his TOTAL investment in my mother’s health and cancer journey. He treated her like family. Thank you for making a DIFFICULT situation so much easier to manage!!
I just finished treatment with this group and can’t speak highly enough of the entire team. Dr. Gauwitz was amazing and the reception staff, nurses and tech team were incredibly warm and exceptional. I would absolutely recommend PROA to anyone needing treatment.
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.
I cannot say enough about this wonderful facility and staff! They made me feel special with their personalized greetings and care. They always make sure you are comfortable and well taken care of. As we all know, it’s not easy going through cancer, and this team is amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it go smooth each and every day!
The entire staff welcomed me and encouraged me through my entire process. The therapists, nursing staff and Dr. Gauwitz were very reassuring, which certainly made the whole experience easier. I finished my treatments and I am very confident in great results… thanks to the caring staff and Dr’s! They are the best!!!
There are not enough words to describe how amazing my experience was under the care of Dr. Brooks and All the staff. The support, encouragement and caring is what got me through my treatments. Dr. Brooks sees his patients every week and the nurses are there all the time and will see you immediately if needed. DR. Brooks is the best! There cannot be a better place to be as you walk this journey, knowing that your Dr and staff have your back!!!
I don’t even know where to begin to express my gratitude for the doctor and staff at Premier Radiation. They were amazing from my first day until my last which took a total of almost 9 weeks 43 treatments. Other than graduating from my treatments, I have to say leaving these folks who became good friends was sad. I looked forward to seeing all those smiling faces and positive attitudes each day. I would highly recommend Premier Radiation to anyone who has to have cancer treatments. Great job to each of you!!!!!!!
Dr. Gauwitz was absolutely wonderful. I appreciated our initial meeting where he took the time to go over every detail forthcoming with my treatment as well as our weekly meetings. I felt completely comfortable and at ease during my entire treatment. The staff, nurses, therapists and front desk were kind, friendly and absolutely the best that one could ever be lucky enough to have during treatment in what what could be a stressful time in a persons life. I would highly recommend them and thank them with all my heart.
