What is wrong with Canton-Potsdam Hospital?

Why can’t they keep good doctors? Is there a conspiracy between doctors that have been here for many years against new doctors? Are they afraid of losing some of their patients to the new doctors?

The new doctors come here and in a year or two they leave.

My last stay in a certain section of care at Canton-Potsdam Hospital was very disappointing to me with the service I received.

After being transferred to a different section of the same unit I was treated 100 percent better, the way a person should be treated when they are sick and recuperating from two operations in a weeks’ time and can’t do anything for themselves.

Maybe a little more time and attention should be given to patients instead of trying to get bigger and keep building million dollar buildings.

The Canton-Potsdam Hospital cancer center is outstanding with service and care they give their patients.

I would highly recommend anybody with cancer to go there and receive treatment.
