Patient comments
Dr. Aphale and [...] the RN are wonderful people and an asset to Fox Chase Cancer Center Dermatology.
I cannot say enough about [...] and Dr. Aphale. I had recent Mohs surgery on my nose and it was a very scary procedure for me. I am most thankful to [...] for recognizing the spot and doing further testings on me. I needed Mohs Surgery and Dr. Aphale was outstanding. He made the process let stressful and his workers were very nice as well. I am healing very well and hope to have great results thanks to Dr. Aphale's great work. Thank you to everyone!
Doctor Aphale is so kind and so knowledgeable and made me feel completely relaxed and comfortable with my care. I was treated with respect and absolute kindness by this provider. I can't say enough good things about him and his care team. [...] was also just so wonderful.
I saw Dr. Aphale. For a second opinion because primary institution do not work as a team to give an overall recommendation based on goals but only through the lens of their subspecialties and made me sort it out or they hope it felt. Dr. Aphale understood this and validated my approach and reassured me. He was very kind and a good doctor. Also his scheduler was very helpful and made me feel listened to And made sure I was seen in a short time frame. I felt like I was treated as a whole person. I am very grateful. I am a retired physician and an an aware of the pressures facing doctors and appreciate doctors who maintain their calm and prioritize the unique patient's needs and make them feel well care for!
Best physician [...]
