The cancer Surgeon

Does anyone know of him or his ability:

Dr. Justin Chura (Einstein (Old York Road) and Chester (Crozier))

Nan - this is from Crozer's website, so you may have already seen it. I don't know this doctor, but I was treated by another doctor in the Cancer center for a lump on my breast 2 years ago and I was very impressed with their doctors and staff. But if you meet him and are not comfortable with him, request another doctor - you're going to be going through enough as it is - you need a doctor you have faith in and feel comfortable dealing with. Crozer is also affiliated with Fox Chase now, and they have excellent cancer programs. Kathy
