My care team at Fox Chase had such a confident and laid-back demeanor. We were on the same page, and their expertise made me feel more secure.

I plan on having a very, very long life. I’m 66 years old and I run a daycare in Havertown, Pennsylvania. Until I was diagnosed, I had no symptoms to speak of and had lived a healthy lifestyle. That’s why when doctors told me I had carcinoid tumors, I had trouble believing I was really sick.

I always have very positive experiences with physicians and staff during office visits. The physician, Dr, Vjvergia is helpful, informative and pleasant. She addressed my concerns fully and was very reassuring. The only challenge was in getting an appointment to see her. After I reached her contact on the phone, I was told someone would call me to set up an appointment but over a week went by and I called to check. Then a day after I was contacted with an appointment time.
