Patient Reviews
Apr 21, 2023
Dr. Erkmen was with me through an incredibly difficult journey including cancer and esophageal/gastro reconstruction. Her ability to listen and pull together a team and a plan allowed me to get back to a life. Without her and her teams, I probably wouldn't be here today and I certainly wouldn't have the life I do.
