Jun 20, 2018
Dr Zama is one of the best Cardio-thoracic surgeon in PA. He took my case when all said, I couldn't be helped. My problem was veins. My veins were not good enough. He said when I open you up I will find a vein to do the bypass. He did!! He saved my life. Shortly after the open heart surgery. I was diagnosed with lung cancer. He went in removed my lower right lobe. I am now Cancer free. He is an excellent surgeon and a wonderful person. Thank you Dr. Zama!! Your the best!!
