“This is the Dr. that we specially visited at the recommendation of our radiologist and he was exactly as we were told he would be. He is a professional who made a staff to provide the support needed for his patients that are in their most difficult time fighting cancer. We waited a bit, but we are sure that if we were the ones inside, we would want to finish our procedure before moving on. Thank you very much Dr. Sugarbaker. ”

“On the advice of our oncologist we went to see Dr. Sugarbaker. We had been given small chances, but we never lost our hope in Dr. Sugarbaker. It all went well but it was a lot of hard work. He informed us that a cure for mesothelioma is still in the future. We have hope and we are moving forward. ”

“My Father was treated recently by Dr. Sugarbaker. His staff is made out of a wonderful group of compassionate and caring people. We hoped that my father would live another 3 years after being diagnosed, but he only lived 10 months after the surgery. He did 3 rounds of chemo that didn’t help him too much I think. As an alternative thought think twice before you decide to have a surgery. There are some good clinical trials going on, so you may consider a better option. Dr. Sugarbaker is a great surgeon and we really appreciate him for all that he did for us. We pray for you and your staff to help people who suffer from this terrible disease. ”
