When I was diagnosed in 2017 with breast cancer I knew I needed a hospital I could trust and feel comfortable with. My second opinion was with fox chase and I immediately felt cared for from the moment I had my first apt. The team of nurses are wonderful! Lori Goldstein was my oncologist who was very reassuring and compassionate. I also met with my surgeon Dr Richard Bleicher that day as well. I was of course overwhelmed and a mess. From the moment he walked through the door I felt comforted and reassured. His words to me were, this is not a death sentence. Those words alone gave me confidence that I was choosing the right hospital. Dr. Bleicher was so patience. Took his time talking to me and my family members about what to expect, questions and concerns. His bed side manner was phenomenal. He would go out of his way to stop in and talk to me when I was doing treatment to reassure me. He was there on day one of my treatment, came to a benefit that was thrown for me outside of the hospital, visited me then I was fearful of my surgery during treatment and today at my last treatment he was there to watch me ring the bell! . I couldn t say enough of how compassionate he is and how great he is at what he does. Not to mention he removed all my cancer and I healed very nicely after the surgery. I trust him and I would absolutely 200% recommend him to anyone needing a surgical oncologist. Overall great hospital!!
