Patient Comments
Great experience
The doctor sat with me and explained everything I needed to know. I wasn't rushed. I was very pleased with our meeting.
Everyone at Fox Chase was welcoming starting with valet to the doctor!!
He's very knowledgeable, and works with you to find a solution that best fits your needs. I have no complaints aside from just one key thing. These past appointments he's been very rushed, with the appointment lasting probably 3 minutes with me having to stop him from leaving so I could ask him questions. I guess he has a lot of patients and work to do, which causes the rush. Again, aside from that, he's and excellent person and physician, and I'll gladly keep visiting him. I just need to me more emphatic in asking whatever questions I have.
Always show care and concerns regarding my health.
