Office staff was organized and very helpful. Dr. Nakfoor took time to go over all my scans and overlayed them on screen to show what needed to be done. He explained the plan and how we would proceed.

My experience with Inspire Oncology has been exceptional. Dr. Nakfoor and his entire team’s dedication to the care of their patients is evident the minute you interact with them. In my case, Dr. Nakfoor was on vacation when my Oncologist, Dr. Mark Rubin, asked him to review my case. We met the next day and he had thoroughly reviewed my records in preparation for this appointment. Within two days, Drs. Nakfoor and my Oncologist reviewed my case and proposed treatment plan with a leading Oncologist at Mass General to elicit a second opinion prior to my treatment commencing. I recently reviewed the post treatment results with Dr. Nakfoor. The detail and amount of time spent to cover everything was comforting and greatly appreciated. I’m truly blessed with the collaboration between Dr. NaKfoor and my Oncologist, their accessibility, transparent communication, and proactive approach to eliciting input from other colleagues is at a level that I have not experienced before. I highly recommend Inspire Oncology.

Dr Nakfoor is a breadth of fresh air in a town that has a lot of get rich fast flyers, that seem to be in it for the money. He legitimately cares for his patients and has your best interest at heart.

I felt that Dr Nakfoor and his staff were truly interested in my well-being and he is willing to put in the extra effort to research the specific conditions I have experienced.

I thought Dr. Nakfoor was very intelligent. He explained my radiation treatment fairly well, although I had to ask him what type of radiation I would be getting and why. I left a bit confused about the exercise program and would have liked some more information about it, from Dr Nakfoor.

If you need an expert in Radiation, Dr Nakfoor and his team should be your choice. They were prompt, professional, and very helpful in helping me understand the process and answered all my questions. Dr Nakfoor exhibited a level of expertise, confidence and professionalism that assured me that I made the right choice.

Dr. Nakfoor is an amazing doctor! I’ve been a patient of his for almost one year and I truly believe he saved my life. During my first appointment he was on the phone scheduling referrals for an IV port, chemo doctor, Imaging, etc. I didn’t have to worry about researching doctors, making phone calls or scheduling appointments, he basically did it all for me. Dr. Nakfoor is a true professional and I highly recommend him.

I was very much impressed with both Dr Nakfoor and his staff. Everyone in the office was able to educate and inform my husband and I of the treatment I am about to receive. All this was done in a very relaxed and congenial manner. I felt relaxed and more informed and involved in my medical care. Inspire Oncology has settled my mind and spirit in another chapter of my life. God bless them all!

Dr Nakfoor is the best! Look not further. Very attentive, responsive and caring. He well prepared me for a difficult treatment that I required. I strictly followed his advice of exercise and diet while I was sick and it wasn't always easy. I believe that my ability to recover better than I could have ever imagined is attributed to being under his care. I completely trusted him and today I am cancer free and healthy. I credit Dr Nakfoor and his wonderful staff for my stellar recovery. He is an exceptional doctor!

Dr. Nakfoor and staff are first class! My first appointment was preceded with his staff reviewing the multi-page questionnaire I had already filled out. (Yes, they actually read it) All the details that could be addressed were taken care before meeting the doctor. He’s very personable and took all the time needed to educate me on my medical issue and treatment. I wasn’t rushed. He’s an outlier. I highly recommend him.

No one ever thinks they are going to have to have radiation but I am so thankful I was recommended to Dr Nakfoor. He and his staff were very calming and caring about my situation. They took the time to go through all the details of my results and how they were going to attack the situation. I start in a couple of weeks.

I met with Dr. Pollock. She was absolutely wonderful, thoughtful, caring, & kind. She helped sort through the options and even though it ended up I did not need Radiation, the time she took to help me think it through was so healing! She is attentive to every detail and extremely knowledgeable. I wish she would be available to be a primary care physician in the Naples area because she’s so wonderful. What a wonderful, blessing she is to this community!

I was able to consult with Dr Nakfoor the day after I was referred to him by my oncologist. He and his team were very responsive and thorough. Dr Nakfoor promised he would further consult immediately with other doctors regarding my treatment and that he would give me an answer the next day. He did just that. Impressive.

Everyone was more than happy to answer question or give you a helping hand.

The service we received was good and most appointments were on time. Beware of their billing practices. Unlike most providers in the Naples area Inspire had an exemption whereby they could bill us for a portion of the amounts unpaid by my PPO. My wife had 5 treatments for which the bill was around $33,000.00. The PPO paid approximately $27.000 and Inspire is seeking around $1,700.00 from her. This was never explained to us prior to treatment and did not give us a chance to seek other providers which may not have this policy.

This is a high-volume office and treatment center, which is a comment in itself, but I and the other patients were treated with respect and care.

Diagnosed with HPV related P16 positive cancer at the base of my tongue December 2022, I was left with choosing treatment options. When I met Dr. Tim Kerwin and saw the facility, including the happy fellow patients in the waiting room, there was no question. I did my 7 weeks and every day was a pleasure made possible by the wonderful staff. I’ve just had my 6 month PET CT and am free of any signs of recurrence. Thank you Inspire Oncology along with my whole team.

Christy and Joan my technicians were excellent in all aspects of my procedure. Dr Kerwin and his assistant were also excellent in answering any questions that we had. Highly recommend everyone at this facility.

My first experience with any type of radiation. Dr. Nakfoor and his staff were extremely understanding and kind. It could not have been a more positive experience, considering why I needed to be there. I was very grateful for the care that I received there. Unfortunately, they did not have the exercise facility there when I was being treated. I wish they did. I think it would’ve been very beneficial for a My leg. But it wasn’t there then. But every thing that they had for the patients care….well, you couldn’t ask for more. Very grateful. Thank you Inspire. Oncology. 🌷

I was given much information about the procedures and activities surrounding my radiation treatments. The staff was courteous and comforting during a very frightening experience for me. My doctor was thorough in explanations, and he was very personable. What I wasn’t prepared for was what the after effects of radiation might do to me. I wasn’t prepared for was the awful condition my skin developed. It was burned, itchy and broken out beyond belief. I used ice the first night, but when I spoke with the technician the next day, she said absolutely no ice. The recommended creams provided no help. I feel I should have been better prepared for what I experienced in the way of pain. I hardly slept for several nights. I went through several creams before I got relief from a prescription from the radiologist-silvadene.Also, the first weekend when I was hurting so badly, I called the number given to me. No one returned my call.

Walling in with my cancer condition I felt very welcomed and that feeling grew as my 28 sessions continued. I was always greeted at the front desk with a smile and ready to offer assistance I may need. The technicians working with me each visit made me feel like i was their only patient. And of course, Dr Hanus, was always ready to spend as much time time with me as I may have required - I never felt rushed and received all answers (good or bad) very thoroughly which I appreciated. A very well run organization who treats each patient as an individual - not a number.
