Dr. Vijayvergia has been my oncologist in connection with my [...] cancer since it was discovered late in 2017, and she and her Fox Chase team have been wonderful in helping me through this including surgery and treatments/monitoring since that time. I am fortunate to have chosen Fox Chase and Dr. Vijay both for their expertise as well as their/Fox Chase's concern and care for me and my family as their patient.
