Patient Reviews
Feb 15, 2024
Went to Dr. Fanta on 2/14/24 for a second opinion for my wives' GISTS diagnosis. He studied and knew everything about it prior to meeting us. very impressed with his level of knowledge with GISTS. He was able to recite mutations, and treatments on the fly and with ease. If you are a GISTS patient, I highly recommend Dr. Fanta.
