Patient Comments
I have been sick for 2 years. This is the first time a physician has listened to the entire picture and help me try to put it together. She looked at me as a whole person with multiple body systems which were involved in my case. She was affirming and respectful. She also did some teaching which I really appreciate it. I have some other things I would like to discuss with her which I forgot and the last meeting. I am so grateful that I got to see her. Thank you
Dr. Sosa and her team are Fantastic! I left my appointment with an understanding that I did not have before. I felt a huge wave of relief and stress lifted after speaking with them. I would HIGHLY recommend Fox Chase Cancer Hospital to anyone who is in need of care.
Great group of staff and excellent doctor
I was Diagnosed with CML at [...], I felt abandoned after the diagnosis ,my family asked me to get a 2nd opinion so of course FOX CHASE, it MATTERS WHERE YOU START. Dr. Sosa was wonderful she a answered Questions from not just my Husband and I ,i Brought my Sister too. I feel comfortable with Dr. Sosa and Fox Chase team.
I wish other facilities had the organization u have, doctors who listen to u and not push u out in the time slot allocated for patients and are as caring as all the staff I have been In contacted with. Dr. Sosa can do no better she Is an amazing person and doctor!! We travel 2 hours just to see her!
