Alison Kovalchik
In 2013, Alison Kovalchik learned she carried the BRCA1 mutation that increases the risk for developing breast cancer. Because she already had a number of other health issues, she was very worried about her options for preventive treatment. Upon the recommendation of her doctor, Alison sought answers from a specialist at Fox Chase Cancer Center, where she later had preventive surgery. She was assigned to a team of physicians from several different departments who all worked together to form an individualized treatment plan to ensure the best outcome. "Even though Fox Chase is a cancer center, its staff considers the patient as a whole person, which is something I hadn’t encountered elsewhere, and, to me, it is a true miracle," Alison said. "Fox Chase Cancer Center’s doctors worked as a team to treat me...I trust my team at Fox Chase. My doctors gave me my life back—in all ways, not only with the BRCA mutation risk. I know I’m in the best hands for my care."

Her gastroenterologist performed a PET scan which revealed a rare kind of cancer, a mucosal melanoma. “At that point, my urologist admitted 'this is beyond me. You need to go somewhere else',” she recalled.

"On October 29, 2012, I thought I had a bad case of the flu. I had slight pains on the right side and was really tired. I decided to go to the local hospital for a checkup and that’s when everything in my world started to change. I ended up with emergency surgery that day for an appendectomy. Afterwards my surgeon, Dr. Carlos Villarreal, and my best friend, Dr. Richard Bindie, told me that if I had waited a couple more hours I would have been dead. Dr.

Marion Utain recalls hearing the worst news she could imagine: she had breast cancer. And then, as she tells the story, the miracles started. A month after her annual gynecological exam in November 2011 at 46, Marion felt a lump in her left breast. She made an appointment to see her doctor the next day.

In November 2017, Dr. King was highly recommended when it was determined that I had cancer. From the surgery, cancer treatment & the follow-up test and examinations the whole processed has been excellent. I am forever thankful to Dr. Stephanie King.

Doctor going over my records & the info I had JUST provided to nurse before talking to me would've been better - This is all too common. Also, although she answered all my questions, I felt that there should have been info provided that I didn't know to ask for. I was about to have major surgery - I'd have at least expected a brochure about what would happen.

Dr. King is a wonderful doctor, who makes her patients top priority. She is kind, compassionate, and so knowledgeable. I will be forever grateful for the treatment and care she provided through my diagnosis and treatment for PPC. Lord willing, next July, I will celebrate 10 years since my diagnosis.

I was referred to Dr. King by my gyn (who has been friends with her for over 20 years). I had supreme confidence going into surgery that all would go well & it did. Dr. King made me feel as comfortable as possible & continued that with the subsequent visits.

I would heartily recommend Dr. King to any of my family or friends who experience the same issues (if they didn't have or trust their doctor(s) recommendations). I found out after my appt. was set that Dr. King is the specialist my best friend sees on a regular basis, so she felt relieved that I was seeing someone she trusts much for her medical care/needs.
