13 years prostate cancer free thanks to Florida Proton. Not only am I cancer free, I have had no residual side effects. The doctors, techs, nurses and staff are beyond amazing. Our experience during treatment was so uplifting and therapeutic. It was actually enjoyable. As I told my doctor one day, if I was not being told I was having proton radiation, I would not know it. Best decision I ever made for treatment!

The experience my wife N I shared during the 6 weeks of treatment as well as the work up exams n meeting were extraordinary. The caring Drs, technicians to even the receptionists made the experience so rewarding. They CARED everyday every minute. The entire time there all we saw were smiles n received only positive comments. Both my wife and I felt rather then being there being treated for cancer we were there for a vacation- hard to believe though it was true. I personally have spoken over the last 5 years to more then 50 people seeking treatment some chose other paths but for those who went each called me n said I was correct in all the praise we gave.Scott

Excellent nurses, radiation therapists and oncologists who show a caring and professional attitude to their patients (all support staff do so as well). Located in a medical community (Jacksonville, FL) with many items of interest when not in therapy (fishing, sight seeing, professional football (Jaguars) etc. and many excellent restaurants as well. Great place to stay while in therapy only 5 minutes away (Third and Main Apartments) is another added benefit.

Three and a half years ago I underwent 38 proton therapy radiation treatments at UF Health Proton Therapy Institute to treat an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Today Im virtually free of prostate cancer. But the real story is the treatment and the care that I received during my radiation treatments. From the receptionist at the front desk to each and every nurse and doctor and the highly trained and patient sensitive technicians who operate the proton units, their sole goal is to help each patient get through the procedures with as much care and comfort as possible at the same time ensuring the success of the treatments. The entire treatment process was culminated with me ringing the chimes right after my last treatment with all the technicians and nurses there to congratulate me and wish me nothing but continued good health. I owe my life to the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute

This team is the absolute best! I have had a very painless and easy treatment plan..minimal side effects. Barb, Dr. Brooks and the Red team therapists were incredible! If you should be diagnosed with breast cancer this is definitely the place to go!

This facility is totally patient/family focused. Professionalism combined with caring and empathy. The treatment produced minimal to no side effects and did not interfere with activities of daily living.

I cannot say enough good things about Florida Proton.I received my treatments seven years ago in 2014.The caring staff makes all the difference to a person who is a little afraid of whats ahead.They were kind and had a smile on their faces every day.I had watched my father struggle with the bad results he received with seeds and external radiation years before.After doing my own research, I chose Florida Proton and am so happy with my decision.It took me 5 hours to get to Jacksonville from South Georgia ,this trip was the correct decision for me.I would be happy to discuss my treatments with anyone that would like more information.I have sent four happy men to Florida Proton and they are as pleased as I have been.

I am always impressed with the honesty of the physicians at the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute. They always spend as much time with a patient and their family as needed to answer all their questions. And they are always honest and upfront about treatment options. Thank you to these physicians and the team they have surrounding them who support those with cancer.

The best decision I made was having UFProton Treatment over other available treatments I read up on...From the Doctor., Nurses, and those doing the actual daily treatment , you could feel their concern... they even helped you with finding a place to stay...3d and Main was my home for 2 months...The results of my stay I couldnt be more pleased..

I was treated with caring and respect at UFPTI. My stay at Third and Main during my treatments allowed me to be around other patients and created a sense of community. I thank God for leading me to UFPTI and for the miracle of Proton Therapy.

I was diagnosed with medium/high risk prostate cancer in 2014. My cardiologist recommended UF Proton Therapy Institute and put me in touch with Doctor William Mendenhall. I had investigated surgery, external radiation, seed therapy, I decided Proton Therapy was the treatment of choice for me. Upon my initial examinations, preparation, and care plan I discovered an extremely well run and orderly experience where the patients were actually enjoying the experience. There is a comradery among patients and staff that I have never experienced before anywhere. I am coming up on six years post treatment with no measurable PSA. I have experienced very little or no side effects from treatment. The results of the 15 years of treatment speak for themselves. UF Proton Therapy Institute should be your choice for the cancer care they specialize in.

My experience here was wonderful. My entire care team (Dr. Bradley, Kari, Al, Jorge, Angel) were a delight to work with and always made me feel at ease. And you can’t forget Allison at the front desk! She always puts a smile on your face. I did have a slight hiccup with not receiving a refund check in the mail from the Proton Center after treatments ended, but Brad Robbert was quick to step in and resolve matters and my check was then delivered priority mail 2 days later. Despite this issue, what matters is that everything was made right and I still highly recommend this treatment institute.

If you have to fight cancer, the Florida Proton Therapy institute will build you a winning team. Everyone and I mean everyone was so professional, kind and empathetic to my cancer needs.I breezed through 39 treatments with very minimal problems. If I had a question it was answered within the day. These folks truly love and enjoy what they do as medical professionals.I would recommend at the very least call them, explain to them your situation and see what they can do for you. Such endearing memories of people and a place that cares for people.

I was treated with Proton Therapy 12 years ago for prostate cancer. I had minimal side effects and even played tennis and beach walked during my treatment. The staff was perfect in terms of following protocol and still being kind to all patients. Please read You Can Beat Prostate Cancer and You Dont Need Surgery To Do It. I studied different treatments and was relieved to find Proton Therapy.

Best place to get treatment for cancer or brain 🧠 tumors. I had gone been there for my radiotherapy ☢ treatment from December 2011 and had successfully completed it January 2012. The staff are super excellent and try their best to give their patients the best treatment and always cheer them up. During my time in Florida, I even got to go to Walt Disney World (thanks to ), Flights of Fantasy, Universal Studios, Kitty Shack Gardens to see Lions, Pumas, Tigers, Jaguars and also went to see a Basketball match Live, I even got to meet the team, Jacksonville Giants and got a Photo 📸 with them along with their autographs. If I was to make a suggestion to anyone with cancer or tumor, go to Proton Therapy Institute Florida, it is the best place to get the best medical treatment. Thank you Proton Therapy Institute, God bless you all. 🦁👑 ✈ Missing you loads.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November 2018 and after doing a lot of research I reach out to UF Proton center in Jacksonville. They were extremely efficient in sending me literature and arranged for my initial consultation . Upon arriving at the institute you are immediately flooded with a wave of positiveness from the staff to the atmosphere in the institute itself. The staff are amazing, friendly , knowledgable. I had no doubt that I had made the right decision going there. Its now been 3 weeks since the end of my 8 week proton course. I feel great. No side effects. If you are not decided on the treatment to take please take a trip to UF institute in Jacksonville and you will not regret it.

I just returned from my initial consultation at UF Health Proton Institute. I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and am seeking the best treatment with the fewest toxic effects. The staff and facility and equipment are amazing. The whole experience was beyond my expectations. UF Health Proton Institution is my choice for prostate cancer treatment. My radiation oncologist, Dr. Henderson, spent all the time I needed for me to understand treatment options and answer all my questions. It was worth the 6 hour drive from Naples!

I spent a very pleasant month at Flimingo(?) RV park in my motor home undergoing PROTON treatment for prostate cancer around 20!! Years ago enjoying all that Jacksonville has to offer. l! I was very impressed with the staff, my treatment AND the results! PSA results have become so negligible that at 93 years old I don’t even bother anymore . Been back a couple of times for check ups and reunions.The only reason I gave 4 stars is that no one is perfect, but you’re close!!🤡👍🙌🌹💙 I’m an advocate and say so when/if PCA comes to!

My husband was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in November of 2018. We had learned about UFs Proton Therapy Institute through a friend, and called them immediately. Fighting cancer requires a full quiver of arrows, and Proton Therapy effectively killed the cancer without harming other organs. With the combined effort of a number of skilled physicians, outstanding nurses, Proton Therapy, Chemotherapy, and Surgery my husband has been declared Cancer Free. While we both received excellent care and support with from all facilities and physicians, the care at Proton Therapy stands out. Every person who works at UF Health Proton Therapy works to make every patient feel special, to provide an exceptional level of care, and to support every and caregiver and loved one.

My blessed encounter with these superb and compassionate professionals took place in the Summer of 2014. From the security guard to the receptionists; from the volunteer staff to the nurses and doctors; UFHPTI is an oncological resource that has positively altered the trajectory of many lives not just in the southeastern region of the U.S., but other countries as well! I have never regretted the decision to choose them as my medical solution.

I start treatment in January. I researched many types of treatment and this is by far the most effective and most cancers can be cured. I look forward to seeing them soon and get this thing done and get back to a normal life.

6 years ago I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute was the only proton hospital in the US that would agree to treat me. I received a phone call one evening from Judy Holland telling me they thought they could help me and asking me to come down to be evaluated. I thank God every day for that call from Judy.It is now 6 years since my treatment and there is no sign of the cancer. I am not retired and living in Pattaya, Thailand in very good health. Taking care of my health is my number one priority now. I am so thankful to all the staff in Jacksonville facility for all the kindness they showed me while I was a patient there. The two months that I spent there were some of the happiest times in my life. I can highly recommend this treatment center to anyone needing treatment for cancer. They are the best!Mark ChalupskyPattaya, Thailand
