      from Ellin 5.0 Stars - (2024-07-19)
  • "Dr Panzera is an awesome oncologist. She deeply cares for her patients. She saved my life. Once I had her under my care, she sent me to the right gynecologist who operated on me and saved my life. Without her quick action, I would not have lived. We need more oncologist like her."
      from Claire 5.0 Stars - (2024-07-18)
  • "I have been going to Dr.Panzera for a while now. She is always so personable and makes me feel at ease. She is able to provide me with reassurance and explain things in great detail. I do enjoy being in her company whenever I go for a visit."
      from Golda 5.0 Stars - (2024-07-18)
  • "Fantastic! So luckily I found this place and Dr. Panzera - I’ve always had issues with my vitamin levels and especially low iron and anemia. Now I feel like I have someone in my corner who will help keep my levels stable instead of constantly going up and down. Can’t recommend highly enough!"
      from Veronica 5.0 Stars - (2024-07-16)
  • "Dr Panzara has many many patients. She is extremely knowledgeable. However I have changed oncologists because her staff is extremely rude and I will not return."
      from BARBARA 4.0 Stars - (2024-07-10)
  • "I don’t understand the process here. I come in for my blood and I take my blood and then I don’t get results for a while- so why not have people take the blood before they come to the doctor instead of literally going for a blood test appointment and you never see Dr Panera you always see a different PA."
      from Jennifer 2.0 Stars - (2024-07-04)
  • "On time. Everyone is patient-focused. Obviously care for individuals. Responsive, listens and explains in understandable language with concern for patients’ questions and comfort. Well managed and efficiently handled. Only issue is difficulty to safely maneuver entrance and exit to office if patients’ mobility is limited."
      from Rita 5.0 Stars - (2024-07-02)
  • "Very professional. Efficient."
      from Tom 5.0 Stars - (2024-07-02)
  • "Dr Panzera and her team listened attentively. She gave me confidence that she would be diligent in finding answers for underlying conditions that have been plaguing me. I look forward to the next appointment."
