Dr. Chitra Sambasivan. I was diagnosed with colon cancer with a large tumor on February 14 of 2023. Within weeks i was undergoing radiation then chemotherapy.After my completion and a few more tests Dr. Sambasivan operated on my colon and removed the tumor. From the moment I walked in her office, not only the Dr, but her staff was outstanding. You could feel complete  love and it was this way every visit. So i felt very comfortable in her care.I appreciate and highly recommend Dr. Sambasivan.
