Fox Chase Cancer Center Reviews

I took my 90 year old sister-in-law, who had never had a colonoscopy, to Dr. Minhhuyen Nguyen to whom I've been going for many years. Dr. Nguyen performed the procedure and found colon cancer. Even after taking into account my sister-in-law's age, Dr. Nguyen recommended surgery and referred us to Dr. Sanjay Reddy. From our first appointment with Dr. Reddy, we knew he possessed the absolute right combination of talents and abilities--not only did he have surgical experience and expertise, he was compassionate--explaining everything clearly and kindly to my sister-in-law and letting us know that even considering her age, he too recommended surgery. He also promised that he would be in to see my sister-in-law every day of her hospitalization, including weekends and holidays. It turned out that she was operated on over the Memorial Day weekend, and Dr. Reddy was true to his word--he visited my sister-in-law every day--some days, twice a day. And it turned out that her surgery was a huge success--Dr. Reddy was able to perform it laparoscopically and further, assured us that he'd been able to remove all the cancer so that neither chemo nor radiation would be in order. I must say as well that FCCC's nursing staff was just amazing--responsive, caring, compassionate. I enthusiastically highly recommend both Drs. Nguyen and Reddy--they are top-notch and the hospital's staff too are truly exceptional.

I am the biggest coward when it comes to the doctors or hospitals. A Cancer center? Oh man, this the sum of all my fears! The folks at Fox Chase Center are really amazing. From when I waked in and one of the volunteers greeted and assisted me to the front desk to the Fellow that first saw me to the excellent care of Dr. Farma. He made me feel very comfortable but was also very thorough as well. I cannot express my appreciation for the care I received from Dr. Farma and his team. Thank you Fox Chase!

I saw Marcia Boraas, MD at Fox Chase for a diagnosis of breast cancer. She, her staff and the hospital staff were FABULOUS. Dr. Boraas was both kind and excellent. She explained everything to me. I had surgery at the hospital and the hospital staff followed all the Joint Commission requirements for patient safety to the letter - always identifying me, asking about my pain level and more. Friends asked me after my first visit to Dr. Boraas if I was going to get a second opinion. I said "no" since I knew I wanted Dr. Boraas to do my surgery. I felt as though I was in the best hands I could be. I would recommend Dr. Boraas and Fox Chase to any woman who is experiencing a diagnosis of breast cancer.

Bottom line..as a result of her treatment my wife suffered years of hospitalization then death.

I took my mother here in 2009 for her cancer & they turned her away..she passed away later that same year. FYI: She had great insurance, they just didn't want to assist her with the kind of cancer she had. Shame on them!

I feel so safe and comfortable coming in this hospital, during the COVID pandemic. I was afraid to start my treatment!!!! The hospital does check in temperature checks, has hand sanitizer, and does mask distributions. My family and I feel safe and protected because of it. Thank you for making us (cancer patients) feel safe!

The hospital is kept clean, and well maintained. Signs are good, not perfect, but good. Staff is pleasant and helpful.

I wish I could say good things,
The staff was great. My doctor
was a different story. Dr smaldone
did a stent change on my right kidney and I left the hospital.
But by the time I got back to jersey
I was infected and still bleeding
Like a a pig. After two weeks of
Steady bleeding heavy , I am in worse shape then when I showed up to get a stent change. I wish I had never went to this facility . He is the worst Dr that I have ever ran into on my Journey. I went from feeling great to feeling horrible . I had a bad feeling about going to him for this stent change .

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in early April this year. Although I had a good experience with my local Doctors in Chester County two of my friends recommended I visit Fox Chase Cancer Center and especially recommended Dr. Alexander Kutikov. My wife and I met with Dr. Kutikov in early May and we both were impressed with his bed side manors, his knowledge and the overall way we were treated at Fox Chase on our initial visit. I was so comfortable and impressed with my initial experience I decided to move forward with Fox Chase knowing at the time my insurance might not cover my procedure and it could possibly be out of pocket. Turned out my insurance did cover my procedure since Fox Chase formed a joint venture with Temple.
My experience going through the operation and post opt have been fantastic, I was only in the hospital overnight and was coached on what to expect and left knowing that they would be available 24-7 should I have questions or problems. My operation was on a Friday and I was amazed that Dr. Kutikov himself called me at home Sunday to check on my status. My recovery was extremely fast even though the pathology report came back with a greater amount and more aggressive cancer than originally diagnosed. Two weeks after my operation I was able to resume work and eased myself back into the full swing of business. Two months after my operation I have been cut loose to do anything I want except ride a bike for a year. At this point my PSA level is undetectable and we will monitor it for the next two years.
Having a radical prostatectomy was one of the largest decisions I have made in my later years and I was supported all along by Dr. Kutikov and his staff. My experience was a 10 on a scale of one to 10 and I would go back to Fox Chase in a second should I ever face the big C again.

I was a patient at Fox Chase Cancer Hospital for a short period of time. During a routine test at a local x-ray facility, the radiologist noticed a rather large cyst on my left kidney. My local doctor continued to monitor it and it continued to grow and it eventually became as large as the kidney itself!. She referred me to Dr. Robert Uzzo and Dr Uzzo and I agreed to have it removed. Dr. Uzzo and his staff were the best! They were knowlegable, compassionate, and caring. Dr. Uzzo took plenty of time to explain everything about my condition to me as well as the risks involved with surgery. Once in surgery, it was found that there were actually three cysts. Dr. Uzzo removed them laproscopically. After the surgery, Dr Uzzo even took the time to draw a picture for my husband of what he found once he got in there.The good news was that there were no cancer cells, thank God! During my recovery the nurses and Debbie my CNA were wonderful to me. It's unbelievable how nice everyone is. This is definitely the place to go when you are facing a serious illness like cancer. They are all on top of their game and strive for excellence.

P.S. I don't know why this posted under my husbands account but this post was posted by Lillian Keller.

What a great place! I go there for Speech Therapy due to Dysphonia (not cancer). Thank you for all you do for those in need! A+++

This place was very nice. My aunt was just diagnosed with cancer. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly through the process of finding out questions and answers.

I have been trying for a week to make an appointment with my Oncologist. First of all spending more than a half hour on hold just waiting for someone from scheduling to answer, then when I give my name and Doctors name I'm on hold again and forgotten till finally I have to hang up...I work so I have spent 3 lunch breaks this week alone just trying to make an appointment and I STILL DON'T HAVE ONE!!!!!! Also this is nothing new, same thing every time for years. I am at my wits end, and many times the person on the other line is rude. What is going on Fox chase

I was diagnosed with Prostate cancer and my wife and I researched a lot to find the best Hospital and Surgeon. So we finally decided on Fox Chase Cancer Ctr. We chose Dr. Marc Smaldone as my surgeon. We could not have made a better choice. My hospital stay was just one night. The surgery went great. The cancer was all in the left side of my prostate so Dr. Smaldone saved the entire right nerve bundle and removed all the cancer. He came in late evening post surgery to see how I was doing, after doing operations well into the evening. Poor guy was dead tired. He even called me twice while I was home recovering. 2 weeks after the catheter was removed I was back at the gym working out at around 50 percent my capacity. My wife and I are intimate at least 2 times a week. No erection but that will be normal for months. Also the thing I worried about the most was incontinence. But the day they removed the catheter I was so surprised to find that I had most of my continence. Of course it was because I practiced and practiced my Kegal exercises. Today, 6 weeks post op checkup my psa test showed nothing. I'm getting away with wearing just a thin pad once a day and one at night just in-case. I do have a little leakage once in a while but OMG it's almost nothing. The Staff at FCCC was so kind and caring during my stay with them and continue to be today. Dr. Smaldone is so great. He understood my needs and did everything to meet them. He just seems to be a very caring down to earth guy who took the time to explain everything to me and my wife. I'm very glad we chose him and FCCC. I may not be the norm for recovery from this surgery but I believe that if it weren't for Dr. Smaldone and FCCC the outcome would have been so different. I'm 60 and never in my life thought I would have to go through anything like this. But I can honestly say the experience was so much easier for me because of the support from everyone at FCCC.

Everybody at Fox Chase have been very helpful,caring and understanding in are troubling times. Dr. Sanjay Reddy has been one of the most caring and willing to listen Doctors me and my wife have met in years.

a doctor at fox chase killed my grandfather. He had gone into surgery and they messed up So then he needed another further surgery to correct the mistake. My grandfather s health is deteriorating and they continue to operate on him with no break. He ended up getting sepsis and died. If you don t know it s up sepsis is, the entire body becomes infected. This is a direct result of being operated on continuously with a compromised immune system. He was only 62 years old and died in a ton of pain after being hooked up on a machine for three months. Originally he was supposed to be home with in a week recovering but now he s dead because Irresponsible doctors. We couldn t even take them to court because they had him sign a waiver before hand. I will say there was a nurse that was very helpful Looking out for his health I wish his doctors would ve done that as well.

On top of dealing with a sudden and terrible death, My grandmother was charge for every single surgery that they had performed trying to correct mistake that was not supposed to be made. as a result our family has been struggling financially ever since. Has been six years

Great facility, amazing physicians. Good and efficient imaging center and lab. Easy scheduling, and overall good communication. The hospital stay is another affair altogether; we mean the facility becomes quite different come 5 PM. It is normally staffed by medical residents after hours, and even on-call specialists are normally fellows (usually 4th or 5th year of residency depending on respective specialty). The 2-patients per room seems an equally outdated practice nowadays; the lack of privacy is not something post-op cancer patients usually look for. Would highly recommend it for all your outpatient needs.

Every employee is friendly and kind...especially nurses in the surgical area. A first class facility.

DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONES HERE. It's the worst mistake you will take with their care. I have bringing my mother to FCCC for 2-3 years and they have done nothing but milk for money, fill my mother with false hope, and continually degrade her condition to the point where a gallon of milk would pull her to the ground. Her care team consisting of Dr. Jennifer Winn and Zachary Hasse (as well as many others0 has been nothing but a nightmare to work with. The doctors performed breast surgery on my mother bout a year ago as she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer to remove the breasts completely hoping to eliminate the cancer but it failed, and they continued to weaken her with chemo therapy to the point where the surgery could not be completed! Now she has very uncomfortable implants which cause even more pain (Like any one with cancer needs that!) to make matters worse, they are still pushing experimental chemotherapies which have destroyed my mothers body, caused endless vomiting and a quality of life not worth living. On top of all of this, we are from Wilmington Delaware and it takes an hour half just to get there! They know everything about this is wrong but continue to insist on her coming there for treatment. Today Zach finally delivered the news that the end of the road had come and that there was nothing they could do after we refused to let them inject more poison into her body (she was bone weak and they were still pushing Chemo!) and if that wasn't bad enough, Zach delivered this news when no one was available to be there with my mother. Awful. I don't know how these people sleep at night. If you have any regard for your family members well being, their life in general, you will stay far away from this place and these doctors. Please. I'd give no stars if I could.

Great cancer center, especially compared to other Philly options. Great location for anyone in the Northeast suburbs. The doctors are first rate. I interacted with some of the younger doctors, and they did very good work on me. They are very well versed on all the newest techniques, and they are actively doing research too. The nursing staff is really great too, much better than some of the other area hospitals. Penn has great staff too, but the location is a challenge coming from the suburbs.

Avoid at all cost. this hospital made many mistake when treating my aunt for bladder cancer. Look elsewhere.

Fox Chase saved my life. They have access to clinical trials. I am forever grateful.

A review by Albert and Lynn Sewell.

After an alarming diagnosis my parents decided to go to Fox Chase for care. The best decision ever! All the staff in Fox Chase are very caring, friendly, professional and ready to help you. Dr. Koch and Dr. Ridge are exceptional. They were extremely thorough, ordering multiple tests to see if there was another option besides operating. Through the whole process they both were very down to earth and explaining the processes for us to understand. They are very caring and have awesome "bedside manners". Dr Ridge is an exceptional surgeon who removed what was necessary. We will continue to follow up with Dr Koch who is also an exceptional specialist. Thank you Fox Chase!

Couldn't have been happier with the treatment my wife has received from the doctors and nurses at Fox Chase, as well as the helpfulness of support staff. 5 stars all the way...

My only complaints begin with the disturbingly unwelcoming reception area while awaiting chemo. Stained furniture...stained rug sections...unacceptable in an environment where patients have compromised immune systems. One younger chemo patient said to us that she was afraid to sit on the chairs that had discolorations, from Lord knows what, all over them. (By the way, this is NOT a negative comment about the cleaning crew; it's a byproduct of the material used in the furniture)

The other issue is the sometimes distressingly long wait in this area; appt. times seem to mean very little.

Note: I'm sitting in Abington Hospital's waiting area, which prompted this comment. Clean....comfortable...attractive...the way it should be. The pre-op areas even have murals on the wall...

This whole hospital it truly wonderful.
From the first phone call for an appointment to hospice care for my dad.
We could not have chosen a better hospital to try for his condition. Everything possible has been done. Each issue that arose was attended to immediately. He received excellent care from every person who tried to help.
We were never afraid to leave him at nights due to our complete trust in Nursing Staff.
Everyone is warm, friendly, compassionate.
This hospital is immaculate.
Our family highly recommends Fox Chase.

Margo, the nurse at Fox Chase Cancer Center is the most insenstitive cold hearted
person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. My mother who was the kindest
soul would do everything to dress perfect and cheerful while she was battling
stage 4 stomach cancer. Margo had the outrageous nerve to say "Well, don't
you think that is a bit to cute for you, so much pink?" Additionally Margo did
not stop there. Every time my mother had an appointment my mother dreded
seeing Margo. It is hard enough to get up the energy to go for chemo but to
encounter this nasty negativity I am shocked that such a person would be
employed by this facility. Additionally, Margo, your ego is too big for your
rudeness outweights your horrendous negative attitude. I think you should
do all the patients that are trying to live another day a favor QUIT!
By the way Margo I called the head of Fox Chase and I made my review
clear as a bell to them about you. My mother is dead now. Her fight for
her life was hampered by your eye rolls, and nasty comments.
What comes around goes around. If you should ever get cancer you will hopefully
get a nurse like yourself!

I've been a patient at Fox Chase for four years. I have had numerous tests, major surgery, and a year of chemo. During this time I have come into contact with many staff members at all levels. Given that no organization is perfect, being composed of real people, the level of care by every measure I can think of has been absolutely excellent. The one or two instances of having less-than-stellar experiences were the exceptions that proved the rule. My doctors have included Dr Kutikov, Dr Millenson, and Dr Wong. All awesome. My nurse practitioner Sue Roethke exudes competence and compassion. Not to mention the sundry nurses and administrative staff. I thank God for FCCC.

My name is Toni Edelstein. My physician is Dr, Robert Uzzo. When I first met him, I was very nervous and frightened. Dr. Uzzo very patiently explained the type of surgery he would do, and what would be expected. He went into great detail, and periodically stopped to ask if we had any questions. When I woke up from my surgery late in the day, Dr. Uzzo was waiting for me, so he could share the results of the surgery with me. This was after being in surgery from early morning and visiting other patients. He is an extremely caring person, and has a terrific bedside manner - not only in the hospital but also in his office. His phone nurses, the office nurses and the office staff also are very patient and caring. It is a pleasure going to his office for follow-up care. I would highly recommend Dr. Uzzo to anyone. Having dealt with many physicians over the years, Dr. Uzzo is definitely #1 in my book!

My mom was diagnosed with saliva gland cancer and was referred to Fix Chase by her Oral Surgeon. Dr. Ridge and Dr. Galloway have been awesome. All the staff we've met have been extremely compassionate and caring. My mom had a really bad nose bleed after a treatment and the staff was so concerned, and took care of her like she was their family member. They made sure they had her music of choice ready and playing when she arrived to try to made each session pass by with ease. I would recommend Fox Chase to any family with a loved one or individual diagnosed with cancer. My mom had treatments during the winter and the worst blizzards. The staff made sure we weren't traveling in unsafe conditions and even double a couple a sessions so she didn't have to come back. I give Fox Chase praying for all going through treatment.

Dr. Sharda is a fantastic doctor! He fully engages his patient in understanding every step of the way from his examination to the plan of care. He is very detailed oriented and demonstrates extreme care. I highly recommend Dr. Sharda

I have been going to Fox Chase for yrs for my colonoscopy. I had the same dr for all three times. The service there is the best experience u can get.I went the on Oct 17 2019. The whole time I was there the nurses were very good at there job and I so happy I picked them to do what I need. Thanks again for the whole staff.

FOX CHASE CANCER CENTER
Dr. Farma and Dr. Chen are the best......Period

Colon and Prostate respectively in their fields EXPERTS!!!!

Thanks Jeff & Dave

H Callan

They will bill regarding services that were never conducted. Then when you ask them about this, they refer and transfer you around to other departments. You re never able to get an answer and they are all about the money here. Also Dr. King was probably one of the worst doctors I have ever encountered. She is very contradicting and does not make you feel comfortable at all. She will belittle, embarrass you and then put the blame on you

I went to Fox Chase after a something came up during a routine X-Ray at my primary care doctors office. The doctors and staff at Fox Chase were excellent, and I recommend them to everyone I know who unfortunately needs cancer care.

To the 2nd and 3rd Floor Staff at Fox Chase Cancer Center:

My husband and I cannot thank you enough for the kindness and wonderful care that I received during my stay at your facility from late May to mid-June 2016.

The caliber of your staff is top notch. The courtesy, compassion, respect, and professional treatment is without comparison.

It made all the difference to us dealing with staff who understood what we were going through, and who always went out of their way to address and resolve any issues that arose. This means so much, and makes an unpleasant experience a bearable one.

We are extremely grateful to every one of you!

Thank you so much for your care, and may God Bless you all ..

Sincerely,
Henrietta & Earl Lewis

The most polite and caring nurses in the Philadelphia are!

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February 2014. My surgeon, Dr. David Chen, and Fox Chase staff have provided me with excellent care. Aside from getting rid of the cancer, a concern that I had before having the prostatectomy was whether or not I would be incontinent. After the surgery, I was very pleased to find out that it would never be an issue. Dr. Chen makes you feel very comfortable and is thorough in answering your questions.

My mother will soon be a patient at ths hospital. Dr Sandone is a great doctor.

The care I received at Fox Chase Cancer Center was exceptional! Dr Bergman was such an excellent surgeon that I had a quick and uneventful recovery. Everyone in the GYN department provided the information and direction I needed at every step. I would absolutely recommend FCCC, especially Dr Bergman.

I had a robotic partial nephrectomy and an umbilical hernia repair on November 19, 2014 at Fox Chase and was very pleased with the quality of care I received. Dr Robert Uzzo is the best in the country (if not the world) in performing the robotic partial nephrectomy, so I really felt that I was in great hands. My surgery took longer than expected because of the difficult location of the tumor. Dr. Uzzo took careful time to ensure the entire tumor was removed and saved as much of the kidney as possible, while keeping the procedure as minimally invasive as possible. Dr Sanjay S. Reddy performed the hernia repair and I can not say enough good things about him. Besides being a great surgeon, he is one of the friendliest and humble men I have ever encountered. He visited me several times every day at the hospital and called me after I was discharged. The nursing staff on 3 North was fabulous. They took such great care of me and educated my wife and me on how to care for myself at home.

I luv my docs at FCCC they really listen to me and they always make sure that my pain level doesn't make me uncomfortable the nursing staff are nice and polite overall I THANK GOD I CHOOSE FCCC GOD BLESS THEM ALL THANKS MJDORSEY

The doctors and nurses here are the most caring group you will ever meet. This should be the first and only place you look.

I was very disappointed with the care. The surgeon Dr. Kutikov was more concern with using a robot that didn't even help vs regular surgery. The commercial says they offer treatments that no one in the world has access to however the hospital didn't have anything to offer. They made several mistakes when providing my aunt with care. I was very disappointed to see that half of the center was close on the weekend. When i went to see my love one, almost every door was locked. Should of went elsewhere! Please avoid! The center did not even have a doctor on call in the middle of the night. Please avoid at all cost. This place is like stepping into the past. Philadelphia has so much more to offer don't get stuck here.

Eight years ago I was diagnosed with prostate and bladder cancer. Dr. Richard Greenberg immediately put me at ease with his knowledge and professionalism...and his wry wit. His surgical skill saved my life and gave me a lot more time with my wonderful family. His nurse, Pat, has a great manner, and she is very helpful and reassuring. She and Dr. Greenberg are a great team!

I too was diagnosed with a melanoma on my forearm. I met with Dr. Sanjay Reddy in the beginning of May to discuss treatment. As with the other review . . . Dr. Reddy took the time to thoroughly explain the nature of my cancer and the recommended treatment. It is now the beginning of June and I am cancer free. Dr. Reddy is a very impressive doctor and person. I thank him for all that he has done and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an extremely competent doctor.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer following a biopsy performed by Dr David Chen. After considering all options,I had my prostate removed in January. The surgery, again performed by Dr Chen, was minimally invasive and could not have gone better. I only spent one night in the hospital, the pain was minor and there were no complications. Dr Chen and his staff were excellent. In addition to being highly competent and professional, they were all very pleasant and caring and did all they could to help me through a stressful experience. The same was true of the all the nurses and staff that I had contact with at Fox Chase. I would highly recommend Dr Chen, his staff and the entire staff of Fox Chase Cancer Center.

I'm a 52-year old male who had a radical prostatectomy performed by Dr Kutikov and the staff at FCCC. Dr Kutikov was excellent as well as everyone involved in the process: Nurse Lisa who works with Dr Kutikov, the anesthesiologist team at the hospital, as well as the supporting nursing crew.
This decision to remove the prostate was confirmed to be an easy and correct one by the professionalism and performance of the FCCC team.
Two months in after the surgery and on the way back to full health.
Thanks to everyone involved!

Liars!!! You call and nurses lie and say they call you back when they never do. You have appointments with Drs and ask them questions and they don t listen or care. I suggested to my oncologist that I was going through menopause she ensured me it wasn t and there weren t any tests that could be run until it s been a year without menses. Then 4 days later she tells me that there is a test they can run. It is not ok to treat people, especially people with advanced cancer this way. Start your treatment elsewhere, I wish I did!!

Amazing staff! Everyone we encountered was very knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, and caring.

Dr. Marcia Borass, you made a huge impact on me and my ability to maneuver through the foggy maze of breast cancer therapies. Your passion, motivation, knowledge, caring, and expertise are totally amazing. Your patience and compassion with my family and our many questions was exemplary.
As we devised a plan to defeat this invasive enemy called breast cancer, I could feel my fears starting to subside. I say we, because by giving me choices and respecting my decisions, you made me a part of my recovery process. Your guidance instilled confidence and courage in me.
I was blessed to be guided to you and Fox Chase. It is truly a wondrous occurrence when one person can touch another person and their family's lives in such a positive way. My life was literally in your hands. Thank you for handing my life back to me. I will never forget you.
The entire health care team at Fox Chase offered me encouragement and kindness throughout my journey. My recovery team was comprised of outstanding human beings that provided me with extraordinary care. My utmost respect goes out to you all.

A heart felt thank you to all of the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at FCCC, from Dr. Von Mehran and Eric Tetzlaff to Drs. Farma, Vitterbo, and Anderson. I appreciate everything you did for me! Although I could write a glowing paragraph on each of you, today I am writing about Dr. Sanjay Reddy. I met Dr. Reddy while recovering from surgery in July 2013. My husband I were immediately impressed by his big smile and friendly attitude. He was so compassionate and concerned. He offered to help us in any way he could and even gave us his email address if we needed his help in the future. Even today, almost two years later, he still stops me at FCCC when he sees me and asks me about my health and offers his assistance if needed. I am sure Dr. Reddy is a wonderful doctor, but I also consider him to be a friend. Thank you Dr. Reddy and all the wonderful Doctors who make up my team.

I contacted them for a second opinion for Triple negative breast cancer but canceled appt. a few days later. I got billed for an evaluation even though I had canceled an appt. When I called to speak to the billing manager, Theresa Mandel, she was very rude. She told me that they had received my info. and sent it out for evaluation. I told her that I had canceled the appt. well ahead and that it should not have been sent out nor was I ever told that they were sending my records anywhere. They only asked if they could obtain my records. We set up an appt. to review the time line and the billing manager failed to contact me as agreed. It was only after I left multiple messages for her again did she attempt to reach me. When she did she was once again extremely rude and refused to repeat the info. that she had and then told me she could not help me. I was billed $280.00 for a pathology consultation. Based off my initial impression, I would not use them if they paid me. It looks as though they billed the wrong insurance company anyway but because they refuse to even contact me back because of the rudeness. It leave me little options other than to appeal the bill with the department of insurance. If this is what you get upfront, I would not trust in any other services from Fox Chase. I dodged a bullet and will get a second opinion elsewhere.

Dr. Sanjay Reddy was the was surgeon who removed my husband's melanoma in October 2014. He showed us great care during a very stressful time. He is not only a skilled physician but a great person who truly cares about his patients. Would recommend Fox Chase and Dr. Reddy to others!

If you or your loved one has cancer stay far away from doctor LAINIE MARTIN at Fox Chase Women Center.
She is an incompetent, negligent and self-centered woman who has no knowledge or desire to treat and prolong another woman's life. Lainie Martin will take away your chance to fight your disease and she will simply kill you because she is a cold-hearted individual who has no right to call herself a doctor.

Fox Chase Cancer Center is a caring, efficient facility. I first was there in 1989 for mastectomy by Dr. John Hoffman. Then in 2012 I was dx with bladder cancer & immediately transferred to FCCC, Dr. Viterbo. She did 2 deep biopsies & BCG treatment. When a tumor showed on my CT scan, Dr. Shah did a lobectomy.
Their bed patient nursing staff is the Best. All of the staff people are also very courteous & caring. I recommend it highly.

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.

The nurses didnt wash my father yesterday at all in there. Also theres a nurse alexis that got smart with me visiting my father and to him as well. Next time Im suggesting another hospital any other but fox chase.

Best cancer care anywhere! Doctors are world class best and nursing care is more awesome than I can even put into words. Their greatness is beyond my ability to put into words! Love and kudos to the 2nd floor nursing staff, each and every one of them have my eternal and undying gratitude. Thank you all ladies and gents, one and all!

You get personal and friendly care at fox chase. I was diagnosed with oral cancer 7 months ago. After surgery in October and following up with radiation and chemotherapy I am cancer free. I hesitate to name the great people I have met because there are so many I know I can't name them all. Nurse Judy in CRU is a great nurse who treated me with personal and compassionate care.
Dr. Galloway, Dr. Bauman, Dr. Lango and Dr. Topham along with there staffs are world class.

My local urologist diagnosed my kidney cancer and immediately recommended that I go to Dr. Robert Uzzo at Fox Chase for the most capable and most up-to-date facilities and treatment. I followed his recommendation and found Dr. Uzzo to be the absolute best --- in addition to being at the top in his field technically, he is extremely personable, caring, and patient. He performed laproscopic surgery, removing a portion of my kidney, and everything went exactly as he had explained beforehand. There was very little pain and I was only in the hospital for two nights. Pre- and post-operation testing were well-organized and efficient, taking into account that most patients come from a distance. Of course, there were a few areas where the hospital came up a bit short --- the nurses, while caring, capable, and patient, were overburdened due to staffing limitations and often slow to respond; food was so-so; my room temperature was not adjustable and always frigid. These shortcomings, however, are of little significance; what's important is that the Fox Chase surgical team got the job done expertly and I would not hesitate to go there again. And my highest recommendation goes to Dr. Uzzo. Thanks to both FCCC and Dr. Uzzo

This is a beautiful campus. You feel relaxed with the outside garden and trees. The staff is so friendly. All of this helps with patient well being and recovery. The system for informing the patient's family with update works great. There is also a quite period to promote patient healing. This is a great model for patient care.

I wouldn't go anywhere else but Fox Chase Cancer Center. They're the best for Cancer Treatment & Care. The staff at FCCC treats me like family. Thanks FCCC I Love you guys...

They have taken such amazing care of me it's un believable

My dermatologist sent me to Dr Sanjay Reddy for removal of a malignant melanoma. Everyone at Fox Chase was helpful and courteous. I felt confident after my initial visit that everything would go smoothly, and it did. Dr Reddy and his staff took time to explain everything to me before the surgery and there were no problems afterwards. In fact, my stitches were removed today! I have already scheduled my next appointment. Thank you to everyone at Fox Chase and Dr Reddy in particular.

VERY DIFFICULT CONTACTING A DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
HAS A SPECIFIC QUESTION AND COULD NOT GET THROUGH.
I EXPLAINED FROM THE START THAT I WAS CALLING FROM ANOTHER DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND NEEDED TO TALK TO DR BORGHAIE'S OFFICE.

Hospital makes patients pay for their food and for watching TV, and meeting a doctor will take hours after your appointment time.

My care was outstanding. I am now three years cancer free thanks to the work of Dr. David Chen and his staff at Fox Chase.

Hi I just wanted to say how wonderful the nurses in the infusion room are.They were great caregivers. :)

My family and I would like to say that we love Dr.Sanjay Reddy. I met Dr. Reddy June 2015 when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Dr.Reddy performed laparoscopic surgery on July 2016, the surgery was successful and am recovering very well. Dr. Reddy is an extremely great surgent, Dr. Reddy is compassionate, willing to listen to what client has to say, he explains everything to you so you can have a full understanding in your treatment. Dr. Reddy is totally amazing person as well as doctor. We love you Dr. Reddy the Meredith Family 2016

My wife was recently diagnosed with a female cancer. After discussions with the gynecologist, they agreed to have the surgery done at Fox Chase because of its wonderful reputation. She was seen by Doctor Steven Rubin and some six weeks later the surgery was performed. The outcome was exceptional and the experience was for all intents and purposes wonderful. The care that she received from the nurse navigator to pre-admission, post op to inpatient was tremendous. My appreciation goes out to all the staff .

Great hospital,my husband had stage four throat cancer and went to Dr John Ridge and he is fifteen years cancer free.Dr Ridge is an excellent doctor and the hospital is great,everything about it.

I was very disappointed recently because I called to become a new patient and I spent quite a lot of time with the lady on the phone who was extremely hard to reach giving her all my information she said she would call me back one week later no call I called them she said oh we don't take your insurance I said g it would have been nice if someone called to tell me that she said yes it would have have a good day

My husband, Dr. James Walter, is being treated for metastatic prostate cancer by Dr. Matthew Zibelman. He went in around noon for PSA level testing. After a couple of weeks on the new medication, his levels were way down. Dr. Zibelman called to deliver the good news within hours of the blood draw. Thank you Fox chase.

After an initial diagnosis of cancer at another hospital and the frustration in trying to follow up with treatment after being released, my husband went to Dr. Sanjay Reddy who had reviewed his case prior to the appointment. He took charge of my husband's case and set up a treatment plan that was thorough and gave us peace of mind needed to face the challenges of his treatment.

Everyone who has been involved with my husband's care at Fox Chase has been wonderful and have been very helpful in getting him the treatment he needs. We are thankful for their care and concern.

I have had two occasions to use FCCC surgeons and facilities and have been highly impressed with the quality of care and degree of professionalism of FCCC. I'd like to commend both Dr. David Chen and Dr. Paul Curcillo two of the very best medical professionals I've ever worked with, head and shoulders above other physicians to whom I've been exposed. You cannot do better than these two or Fox Chase Cancer Center.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and turned to Dr. David Chen at Fox Chase for treatment. Dr. Chen performed robotic surgery to remove my prostate in September 2014. I could not have been more pleased with the results of both the surgery and all follow-up visits. All of the care givers with whom I have come in contact at Fox Chase have been professional and genuinely concerned for my well-being. I highly recommend Dr. Chen and his organization.

My mother was a patient at Fox Chase in March 2016 due to emergency surgery for a repair to her duodenum. Dr. Reddy & Dr. Heller were amazing. They were very compassionate towards her and saw her everyday. I can't say enough about the care she received at Fox Chase. The entire staff that took care of my mother were wonderful, kind, & caring. Thank you ALL.

I have been a patient at Fox Chase for 13 years. I have always had the highest regard for this hospital, until I recently found out that two of the most kind, caring and compassionate nurses were let go. Bonnie and Bill have always made my visits to the hospital not seem like I was the hospital. They have been there for over 25 years and that is how they are thanked for all of there hard work. They go to work and get let go. Well I think this sucks!!!!

Love the Dr and the ones who helped make the appointment Very Disappointed with the nurse!

The team at Fox was EXCELLENT! Prior to removing my gall bladder, Dr Nestor Esnaola made certain that my other issue, pancreatic cysts, was thoroughly examined. Dr. Esnaola left no stone unturned, ordering genetic testing as well.

Dr. Heller preformed a pancreatic EUS, and as promised, phoned me by the end of the week with my results. Dr Heller answered my questions and made me feel at ease. Dr. Esnaola also phoned to reiterate the results, and to discuss the next step.

The nurses, genetic team (Susan Montgomery), staff (Rose - Dr. Esnaola's secretary), and front desk staff went above and beyond.

Thank you Dr. Esnaola for making me feel healthy once again, and for giving me back control of my health!

I have been seeing Dr. Shah @ Fox Chase. Dr. is very good and thorough, however the scheduling department is horrible. I have had three seperate meetings over the last 4 weeks and every time I was given time to report at the office 15 min prior to my appointment time. They take you in the room and let you sit there for an hours before doctor come and see you. in all three meetings I was waitng for doctor for more then an hour just sitting there. The scheduling department need to realize that patient time is just as important as doctors. When I spoke with her scheduling secretary all she said is sorry. Please be considerate of patient time. You have a job because you have patient and if you do not keep them happy they will go elesewhere. There are many choices and soon you would be out of work if you keep ignoring patient.

Never have encountered such positive, caring, professional staff as FC. I can't recommend enough! I you or a loved one is faced with cancer, this is the place to be. I am simply amazed which inspires me to have hope, and an I am going to beat this attitude. God Bless every on staff at FC, including maintaince, coffee shop workers etc. They are all special

I can't say enough great things or express my gratitude towards the Drs at Fox Chase. My mother was not given the right oncology treatment locally, but thankfully we found Fox Chase. Thanks to their amazing team and Gods will my mother lived an additional 3 years than what our local oncologst told us was "possible". They tried several types of chemo until the found what worked best. They were so helpful every step of the way and never gave up. She absolutely loved her doctors so much. Thank you

Went for biopsy. fantastic customer experience,friendly, timely, lots of support.

I was diagnosed with a melanoma on my forearm in February. I met with Dr. Sanjay Reddy in mid February to discuss treatment. Dr. Reddy took the time to thoroughly explain the nature of my cancer and the recommended treatment. He provided an extensive step by step description of the treatment plan to avoid any surprises for me and my wife. He also made special arrangements to move up my surgical date as my family and I had some special travel plans coming up that would have had to be canceled otherwise.
He was kind, thoughtful and upbeat and encouraged me to call him directly with any questions or concerns I had during my treatment. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Reddy as my specialist and owe him a great debt of gratitude.

I just started a job here and I love it. Knowing that I am helping people is the best feeling.
