Patient Reviews
Sep 05, 2018
I would be dead if it were not for the skill of Dr. Richard Lopez, who performed a hideous operation known as the "Whipple Procedure" to save me from an aggressive and fatal pancreatic cancer. He removed 1/3 of my stomach, my entire duodenum, my gall bladder, 2/3 of my pancreas (the tumor was situated in the head of the pancreas, obstructing my common bile duct --fortunately, because this caused bile to back up and turn my whole body yellow with jaundice and that is how I got diagnosed in time)
