Patient Reviews
Mar 07, 2024
If you, or a loved one, receives a lung, chest, heart or vascular system cancer diagnosis, I implore you get a second opinion from Dr. Ara Vaporciyan, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX before starting treatments. I obtained mine after hearing my lung & heart cancers were 'inoperable' & 'not survivable'. My treatment plan: palliative care. 'Dr. V.' discerned surgical removal of my cancers were within his expertise and odds of survival good. The 7-hour surgery was successful and recovery uneventful. I have been released for monitoring every six months; no chemotherapy, no radiation. 'Dr. V.' is trained to treat lung, chest, heart and vascular system diseases. He is oncology surgery professor at UT MD Anderson and contributed to over 325 published medical research articles. Yet he is easy to understand and his bedside manner is caring and compassionate. I am honored to recommend 'Dr. V.' without reservation. He offered hope when few could. In short, he and his team saved my life.
