Patient Reviews
Oct 30, 2024
In 2016 I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I had no idea who would be doing my surgery and I was afraid. My PCP recommended Dr. Malellari. It was the best choice I have ever made. He basically saved my life. He removed a large tumor from my colon that was about to spread throughout my body. He was able to save most of my colon which prevented me from having a colonoscopy bag. I was in the hospital for almost a month and he visited me every day. He is an amazing surgeon and a caring person.
