I was only 40 when I was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. I went to my primary care doctor, who sent me for a CT scan. When he got the results, he told me to find an oncologist because it was cancer. A few years earlier I had a breast lump removed at Fox Chase, so that is where I knew I should go.

Patient comments
I am very happy with the services provided by you.
I come to Fox Chase BECAUSE of Dr Curcillo. While I do like the care I get from most other practitioners at Fox Chase, I would probably be at a more convenient medical center if not for Dr Curcillo. I have been seeing him for many years, at several other places before he came to Fox Chase. He is nothing short of terrific.
Dr. Curcillo consistently demonstrates professionalism and empathy, providing ample time for addressing all patient concerns.
I know that I wouldn't have been able to get through this cancer journey without the compassion, expertise, concern, and continual communications provided by Dr. Curcillo. He has been my surgeon for over 23 years. He has also been a surgeon to many of my friends, referred because of my testimony, and provided them all with exceptional care. Words do no justice to expressing my true appreciation and admiration for Dr. Curcillo.
Everyone was professional, courteous, and respectful.
