Patient Comments
Everyone always welcomes me with a warm smile upon my arrival. I almost forget I'm there for a follow-up appt. It's always a pleasure. Wonderful staff & great doctor(s).
This doctor saved my life! I remain grateful to her and the Lord. I hope this office continues to stay open. Everything and everyone here is so kind and nothing is too much trouble!
Dr. Porpiglia is an excellent physician and surgeon. She is kind, caring, and compassionate, and I feel that I have received excellent care from her and her team of doctors, nurses, and office staff at both the main campus of Fox Chase Cancer Center and the Plymouth Meeting office for more than 3 years now since I received my cancer diagnosis.
In spite if needing a bilateral mastectomy, I feel Dr Porpiglia is extremely skilled in her profession. Her communication skills and empathy are astounding. She has taken all of the time necessary to explain and/or clarify every single detail and attended to as ny concerns or questions I've posed. I would highly recommend her services moving forward.
I am just so thankful I found Fox Chase 11 years ago. From [...] and now Dr. Porpiglia I have been blessed. Any nurses or people that have tested me have been caring and loving. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I have had two types of cancer and Fox Chase would be the only place for me.
