I am very happy with the care I receive. I've been coming to Fox Chase since October of 2020. I truly believe that Fox Chase saved my life! There aren't enough words to express how much the doctors ([...] Dr Vanessa Wookey) mean to me and what they have done for me. Fox Chase is an exceptional hospital!!
