Patient Reviews
May 08, 2024
When I was told I had pancreative cancer, I thought the worst. Dr. Azab helped me believe having the whipple surgery and chemo would lead to a better outcome. He made sure that I understood every step of the process. Dr. Azab and his staff treated me with kindness, took care of my concerns and shared my happiness at positive results. I recommend Dr.Azab and his staff.
