OUTSTANDING

Patient Satisfaction

The Center for Gynecologic Oncology is proud to provide the highest quality, most professional, patient-centered diagnostic and comprehensive treatment in gynecology, gynecologic oncology and urogynecology for women with respect, compassion and outstanding customer service.

For every difficult situation the female body goes through, there is always a heart that nervously flutters and a mind that reels in uncertainty. This is when humanity is most important. I am so grateful for the staff in Dr. Black’s office. What a crew! Most definitely a great first visit.

Dr. Tangir and staff were very inviting, nice and professional. Dr, Tangir took his time with me, really listened and thoroughly explained things to me. He and the entire staff really treat you as a person and not just “another number”. I highly recommend him.

Sara W.

I was recently a first-time patient at this practice and I’m so glad I was referred to Dr. Salom. He took the time to explain my options, was very caring and gentle on examination with such great calm demeanor. I’ve seen my fair share of Gyno doctors during my long-time battle with Endometriosis and now fibroids, and he is by far the kindest, more knowledgeable of them all. Worth mentioning that I really liked the educational experience factor involved in my consult since there was a medical student present at all times attending Dr. Salom. The office was clean, organized and the medical team was kind and courteous at all times. Overall was a great experience. Highly recommended!

Shirley V.

I am so grateful to God for His grace, mercy, and love. My journey was made easy and pleasant due to the awesome staff at The Center for Gynecologic Oncology. Big shout out to the "BEST" oncologist nurse Trinidad Cartagena, and her assistant Roxy. Love you ladies to Reese’s Pieces. Thanks also to the "BEST"..:Dr. Tangir and his PA Marjorie🧡🧡🧡🧡
