Review of Fox Chase Cancer Center

I was first diagnosed by a private-practice urologist, who referred me to his partner, who had a private treatment center. When I met with the partner, he showed me a video slide show of the radiation treatment he proposed. Since it was too much to absorb in one sitting, I asked for a copy of the slides. He refused, telling me it was proprietary.
Afterwards, I called a friend who was a specialist at Fox Chase, and he immediately told me not to worry, that I was in a very early stage, and gave me the names of a radiation oncologist and a urologist, Dr. Eric Horowitz and Dr. Richard Greenberg , respectively.
Soon thereafter, my wife and I met with both of them, in search of their recommendations for treatment..Both gave us three possible courses of action, and each separately offered their own opinion. When asked, Dr. Greenberg said " If was my brother, I would recommend radiation", ( even though he does surgeries )and we took his advice.
The treatment was easy; the technicians were caring,friendly and went out of their way to make me comfortable. My follow-up visits with both doctors have been very personal; both told me that they take as much time as needed with their patients.
The entire staff at Fox Chase has been personal, caring and all that we could have asked for. I cannot conceive of a better facility, Doctors, or staff.
