Patient Reviews
Feb 28, 2023
Beyond his extraordinary surgical skills, Dr. Villamizar is both thorough and thoughtful in working with patients. His approach combines expertise and humanity and made us feel we were in incredibly good hand with him and the rest of the team. Long past the surgery, he has maintained an active and invested roll through tumor board discussions about my husbands health.
