It was my great pleasure to have met Dr. Nestor Esnaola,a compassionate, caring, extremely qualified surgical oncologist who performed surgery on me in December of 2015. I have been doctoring at Fox Chase since December of 2014,when I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor.At that time I had surgery to remove my tumor by Dr.Christina Chew a caring competent doctor with a friendly smile and a way of making u feel at ease even with that big bad word cancer.After my diagnosis of gist tumor,I was referred to Dr.Margaret Von Mehren, a medical oncologist who gave me a thorough explanation of what my treatment would entail and thanks to her and her team I continued with my treatment until in November of 2015 when my cat scan show a 2cm mass again in my small intestines.After further testing including a pet scan she referred me to the surgical oncology group where I had the great pleasure of meeting Dr.Nestor Esnaola, who was to perform my surgery.He had a calming,friendly air about him. He explained to both my husband and I what my surgery would entail.He in a people person exhibiting friendliness,and confidence.He is extremely knowledgeable.After my surgery,he was able to give me the best news ever NO reoccurrence of my gist tumor, just a fibrous benign mass,thank god.I will continue with my treatment for the next 2 years.From the first moment I set foot in Fox Chase Cancer Center,I could not believe the friendliness and helpfulness of all the people i came in contact with.I would highly recommend Fox Chase to anyone seeking cancer treatment.
