Patient Reviews
Nov 24, 2024
I was sent to Doctor Stern after my gastro told me I had rectal cancer. I was in shock as Im a young person. I was pretty much in tears when I went to the office. I checked in and he saw me as soon as i finished the paperwork. He looked at my tumor and then we had a long discussion. I had to get a MRI and other tests. He told me that he would review the results at a tumor group that discussed these types of cases so I would get a bunch of opinions at once. after the meeting he called and told me that I should have chemotherapy and radition treatment. He sent me to other doctors and I had the treatment. when i finished he saw me back and a miracle happended - my cancer went away. He told me that years ago I would still have to have surgery but now they can do a watching approach. I have to see him back every few months to look - but so far i am cancer free. I cant believe it - im so happy i met Dr Stern and he helped cure my cancer and didnt try to force me to have a surgery. Thank You!
