I didn't know that we are not allowed to mention Dr.'s names. I have an appointment on Thursday 8:00. What day is your appt. I do not understand the months and dates on the web site.
I really like my doc now, it was difficult for me when I was first diagnosed to trust a doctor because I was so misdiagnosed by many doc's at Penn. It took 5 months for me to get a diagnosis because not one doc wanted to do a biopsy. I had 30 percent of my tongue removed. My doctor truly saved my life.
What was your story? If you feel like sharing I would like to hear it.
I live in Elkins Park, Pa. (Montgomery County)
