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!

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 husband was contacted by Fox Chase after an initial series of test were done by a surgical team, from another affiliation, received an unconclusive biopsy report. Dr. Sanjay Reddy met us on time for an 8am appointment. His promptness was appreciated but from the moment he stepped into the room his calming, kind manor assured my husband and I that we were in very good hands. He left us with his exceptional staff and after blood work, X-rays, consult with an anesthesia specialist, pre-admission nurse and research specialist we were ready for the surgery to follow the following Friday. Dr. Sanjay Reddy, and his team, were a breath of fresh air and supplied the information needed to us in a timely fashion. He is recovering well and upon getting the stiches removed Dr. Sanjay Reddy gave us the great news as he entered the room, it was not cancer.
Thank you for an incredible experience. Fox Chase is the BEST!!

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 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 am writing this letter to let people know about the amazing staff and facilities at Fox Chase Cancer Center. We have recently moved to New Jersey and this summer I had kidney stones. I went to a local hospital and on a scan they found two suspicious tumors. I was referred to Fox Chase by a local urologist. My wife and I do not know much about the medical facilities in the area so we were pleasantly surprised with Fox Chase. We were introduced to Dr. Kutikov and his staff and immediately felt a sense of confidence and knowledge. My surgery was this past September and I was lucky enough to have two rare but benign tumors that were removed. I remained in the hospital for almost a week following my surgery. The staff at Fox Chase couldn't have been nicer or more efficient. Every problem I had was quickly attended to and always with a smile and a gentle demeanor. Any question I had was explained, answered and reassured. I had two surgeons for my surgery. Dr. Esnaola was the pelvic specialist and I met him separately before the surgery. He walked me through the scan and explained things in great detail. My other surgeon was Dr. Kutikov and I can't say enough good things about this man. My wife and I checked out his credentials before the surgery and he has a superior background. But the best part of Dr. Kutikov was that he treated me with such respect and kindness which made all the difference. I knew I was in skilled hands but I also knew I wasn't just a patient on his surgical docket. The staff before the surgery was attentive and reassuring. The facility itself is beautiful, clean and respectful of the patients family. Looking back on my experience I have nothing but great things to say. If you are looking for a place to go for surgery or for treatment look no farther than Fox Chase Cancer Center.
Respectfully,
Nick Holowiak

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.

In 2013, I went to see my primary care doctor about recurring pain in my lower back. After a battery of tests - X-rays, CT scans, MRIs - I was finally diagnosed with cancer. I remembered that moment, because the world lost all its color to me - it turned monochrome. (I am an architect by education, like to draw, paint and take photography, so colors are very important to my perception of the world.) At first I didn't know what to do with myself and I felt defeated.
Eventually, though, I collected myself and decided to go to Fox Chase Cancer Center for a second opinion. After some research - asking friends, looking through various websites - I was referred to Dr. Robert Uzzo at FCCC. My very first appointment with Dr. Uzzo gave me renewed hope. Speaking softly and warmly, yet firmly and confidently, he reassured me that I could expect the best care possible and that I needn't worry too much. While initially I had been told that I might need to have my kidney removed, Dr. Uzzo immediately relieved my worries, telling me that it was not necessary. His treatment philosophy, as I've learned since, is to do everything in his power to save the kidney.
I come from a family of doctors - my father was a pediatrician and a professor of medicine back in Ukraine, where I come from. He was extremely kind to the children who were his patients, as well as to everybody else he met. When I was a child, I always felt safe and taken care of, because of his doctor's talents. I am not exaggerating when I say that after meeting with Dr. Uzzo, I felt just as safe and taken care of as I had been in my childhood. With his congenial manner, Dr. Uzzo engendered respect and trust. Perhaps I'm embellishing somewhat, but after becoming Dr. Uzzo's patient, I started to see the colors around me once again, and recovered my lost joy in life.
I would be remiss if I did not also thank all the terrific people who took care of me both at Dr. Uzzo's office and at the Fox Chase Cancer Center hospital while I underwent and was recovering from the surgery - the entire nursing staff, the anesthesiologist, and all other personnel. They treated me with kindness and compassion, helping cope with the pain after what was a quite serious operation.
I have no reservations about recommending anyone diagnosed with cancer to go to Fox Chase Cancer Center in general, and Dr. Uzzo in particular, in case of kidney/urology issues. It's no wonder that FCCC is listed as one of the national cancer treatment centers - the quality of care is outstanding.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you Dr. Uzzo and Fox Chase! Dr. Uzzo was able to remove a cancerous tumor in my husband's kidney robotically, with minimal kidney loss (only10%). Recovery from this operation was much better than we expected with minimal pain. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. What an excellent physician - the top in his field! Everyone at the hospital provided wonderful, personal, and timely care as well. This is the place to go -- and Dr. Uzzo is the doctor to see for any urological issues, especially kidney.

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.

Well if Fox Chase Cancer Center is a "center of excellence," THANK GOD my loved one did not go for treatment at one of those un-excellent centers of mediocrity. If FCCC holds a higher standard, than I shudder to imagine the disgrace others may encounter along their journeys to wellness.
Sure, everyone there is really, really nice. But as Little Red learned in Into the Woods, "nice is different than good". Their hook, line and sinker approach to the patient's initial visit is misleading. The team of medical professionals appear to be a cohesive network all on the same page. An assessment was made. An appointment for surgery was given. Then the appointment was POSTPONED by one week (the doctor says "a few days to a few weeks don't really matter") because there was another surgery scheduled that day. Some tests were done. The assessment was WRONG--the problem was worse than they first assumed. A more complex surgery was rescheduled again (the third appointment). ONE MONTH after the initial appointment, my loved one is finally in the hands of FCCC for major surgery.
Not good.
My loved one gets sent home with an I.V. still in the arm. Not good. Two lumps of gauze fall out of a wound that were previously causing stabbing pains. Not good. And today, one week after the latest tests, FCCC RESCHEDULES the results appointment TWO HOURS prior to the appointment time. We now get to wait ANOTHER WEEK before getting more answers and, oh, finalizing a treatment plan.
Maybe these doctor's are among the nation's finest and only their admin needs major upheaval. Maybe the problem stems from this nation's misguided approach to wellness. Regardless of "who done it", I, as next of kin, find FCCC's mistakes to be unacceptable, offensive and terribly upsetting.

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.

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

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.
