In March of 2020, I was diagnosed with level 3 colon cancer.
Dr. Grove was persistent and so was able to schedule my surgery just before the operating room was closed due to the pandemic. Dr. Grove was able to perform the surgery without having to do a colostomy.
After my successful surgery, I have been under the care of Dr. Rodriguez and Dr. Grove. After four and a half years, I am still cancer-free.
Because of Dr. Grove and Dr. Rodriguez, I am 88 years old, alive and well.
These two physicians are the most knowledgeable, caring and giving individuals I have ever known. Dr. Grove and Dr. Rodriguez are exactly what our rural Kansas health care services need.
I was very saddened and upset to hear they are leaving HaysMed.
According to Dr. Grove and Dr. Rodriguez, the reason they are leaving is under the present leadership they are not able to provide the health care that the rural residents of Kansas need and deserve.
How sad.
