Patient Reviews
Oct 30, 2017
Dr. Pickens was an end of the road option for me. As a 10 year survivor of esophogeal cancer I had developed over time several Zenkers Divutriculum's. that restricted my ability to swallow. I had signs of aspiration and early lung disease. All previous physicians indicated that surgery was much too risky and that my best option was to live with the condition. The surgery was successful! I feel as if I've experienced a miracle! I have no carry over symptoms. Dr. Pickens is the best!
