Patient Reviews
Apr 22, 2023
In 2019 I was diagnosed with NSCL Lung Cancer Stage 3 B . This Doctor went out of His way to test and operate on Me to remove the Upper left lobe of My lung and Cancer which had already made it’s way into My lymph nodes surrounding the Cancer which was right next to My Aorta. I had already been told by two other Doctors that I was inoperable. Thorough wonderful care! Communication from He and staff was excellent. I then had chemo and radiation. My lungs were shot from smoking in past years. Without removing the cancer first I can say I probably would not be here today writing this. This Doctor is My Hero andI would recommend Him to anyone! He is the very best...Life Saver!
