  • "Dr. Fabio Volterra , my oncologist, whose care has been nothing short of extraordinary. While it is expected that a physician provides medical care to their patients, Dr. Volterra exemplifies something far beyond professional duty—he embodies compassion, purpose, and genuine humanity. From my very first appointment, I could sense his sincere concern. His approach is not transactional; he does not treat people as cases or conditions, but as human beings deserving of dignity, patience, and empathy. He does not care whether he is compensated—his mission is clearly rooted in something deeper. It is evident to anyone in his care that this is his calling, not just his job. Dr. Volterra is my third oncologist, and without a doubt, the one who restored my hope. I truly believe he was sent to me by God. I say without exaggeration that if there were a way to canonize a doctor, Dr. Volterra would deserve such an honor. No reward could ever fully capture the magnitude of his impact, but I hope this letter will serve as a small gesture of the immense gratitude I feel. In a world that often feels rushed and impersonal, Dr. Volterra is a rare and shining example of what it means to care. He is not only an outstanding physician but a remarkable human being. Please ensure that this message of appreciation reaches him, and if there is any formal recognition your institution can offer, I believe no one is more deserving."
