John was referred by his physician to the West Valley Emergency Department. Dr. Agee performed surgery to remove John’s colon cancer. John was very impressed by the staff, especially by Dr. Agee and his team of nurses.

"Dr. Agee's an excellent surgeon. He reconnected me very carefully and the collaboration of the doctors was so impressive that it remains in my mind, still, very clear what they were doing.

"I had some really good nurses. They went out of their way to make Cheryl and I both comfortable. They put a bed, twin bed or single bed, in the room so Cheryl could stay in the room with me."
