Arrogant, god-like, unpleasant, inconsiderate, revolting.

Dr Powell and his staff are top notch. Really wish we had never had to meet him

I have been seeing him for years...he is a very respectful man..goes above and beyond to help u..I have no complaints about him..He is a great dr.

Dr. Powell has been seeing my father for a little over 4 years now. My father had the same cancer that the dr had and said that he was putting my father on the same regime that he was on. After the first year of visits, he completely ignored my father. The dr never wanted to scan my father to see if his cancer had spread when my father was in excruciating pain, when he started getting a mass on his groin or when he started to not be able to eat, breathe or walk...... My father now has an 80 lb mass on his groin and had to go to Cleveland just to find out that his cancer had now spread to 4 other new places and his mass could have been avoided had it been acknowledged earlier in what was considered his “treatment “ which did both for him and dr Powell refused to change it! I honestly wouldn’t trust him to walk my dog let alone treat anyone I love with cancer!! If I could give negative stars, I would!! Dr. Powell has been seeing my father for a little over 4 years now.

Very friendly an knowledgeable, a doctor who truly cares about his patients.

You’d think a doctor with cancer would be more concerned about the whole person of his patient. He was more concerned with beating the disease at all cost, including stealing his quality of life. He wouldn’t listen to his complaints, kept saying there was nothing more he could do, then dangle another drug of hope. After OSU specifically said “palliative care and quality of life”. He suffered thru all of his constant “experiments”. Doctor must realize what he gives, he may receive.

Excellent! My wife is a 7 year breast cancer survivor and was treated by Dr. Powell. Goes over and beyond with patients.

Dr Powell if caring, understanding, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. He saved my life.

Doc Powell is a positive and lively personality, knowledgeable, and very good with patients and their family members. Most of his nurses and assistants have been friendly and helpful, a sure indication they enjoy their work and are treated well as employees. The only negative is that many of the patients are in walkers and wheelchairs and the automatic doors are one set that works and one doesn't and it has been that way for at least the past 4 months. Make it easy on your patients and get someone to fix or replace those doors so I can write a followup with 4 or5 stars instead of one or zero. I only have 7 weeks left so please find a way to get it fixed for your patients' sake. Sometimes the little things are what matters the most to those on their last days and the family members that have to bring them in and see them struggle with what are simple tasks often taken for granted by those of us who are blessed to be healthy.

Here's my experience with Powell: I was making great progress with treatment until my insurance company stopped paying for chemo drug. Instead of offering to help me find alternative funding, he stopped treating me for 2 months awaiting new cat scans. During this period, the cancer grew back. Well, I was going to move anyway (450 miles), so when I found a new oncologist, he told her I would have pay for my own records because he "didn't refer her to me personally". What greed this guy has.

Dr. Powell is a compassionate and caring doctor. My husband was a patient of Dr. Powell's for 10 years. Twice in those years DP advised us to seek additional advice. He always answered questions, has a fantastic staff, and all are very friendly. I cannot say enough great things about DP. He not only showed concern for my husband but also for myself. I love a confident doctor and one who has no problem sending a patient to another doctor for additional help.

DDP, is an ok dr, but is very arrogant, condescending and treats patients and families as a burden to his daily activities. If you ask questions, he treats you like you are beneath him. He won't answer your questions but beat around the Bush and tell you what he thinks you want to hear. I will not EVER recommend DDP to a friend or family member. He is all about getting paid and getting his kickbacks for the newest drugs available. I give him -5 stars, he is not a good dr in anyway shape or form.

Dr. Powell is extremely pompous and arrogant. His attitude and bedside manner toward his patients and their families is terrible and without emotion or compassion. He dropped my mother as a patient, without telling us, because we asked for a second opinion. Dr. Powell belittled us and was insulting. Any doctor like this is dangerous to his patients. He is solely out for money and power. He needs to be suspended from medicine until learning compassion, humility and professionalism.

more worried about money than the welfare of their patients.

Didn't inform me that I had to continue follow up appointment in order to keep.my tamoxifen because I had breast cancer. Wouldn't give me more or even enough to hold me over until the appointment. Told me that if I tried to get them from my family doctor he will make me wait a year ... with no tamoxifen. A pill that drastically reduces my chance of getting cancer back. From a man who's suppose to save my.life.

Dr. Powell is okay but kind of pompous. He doesn't recall specifics about your case well. His office is horrible at scheduling, especially if you have to do treatment at St. Rita's. Several times my husband had to reschedule time off work for treatment because they couldn't keep his appointments straight. The office staff are not friendly or helpful and unless you want to pay for it, you will not receive any consideration or kindness from them.

He was condescending; assuming I had no educational background and then and behaved as though I was wasting his time by asking questions. Utterly dismissive. I had questions about my father's condition. Whatever he had going on this day, he certainly took it out on me and probably anyone else who came into contact with him; unless this is how he behaves all the time. Very unprofessional, insensitive conduct for health care.
