Patient comments
My wife and I loved smallbach and we love foxchase thank you
I have no complaints regarding my experience at Fox Chase.
Excellent physician
I am very grateful to have come to FCCC, Dr Schmalbach and the team. I have ALWAYS been treated with respect, courtesy and kindness from any encounter I have had there, from Dr Schmalbach and her team, the nurses, lab staff, CT staff, the desk/reception staff in all areas, and especially the folks right there to greet you and guide you when you walk in, stressed and concerned about your health, they graciously greet you and point you in the right direction, or even lead you there. EVERYONE HERE HAS BEEN A GODSEND TO WORK WITH!!! I highly recommend FCCC to anyone I come into contact with and share my story and experience with, if they have anyone with cancer concerns to come here. I have two family members who worked with FCCC and although it is nearly a 3 hours drive, it is so worth it. Thank you!!
Fabulous physician and PA. Would highly recommend them to anyone requiring this type medical condition. Truly the best!
