Review for Dr. Stauffer
Dr. Vacchio diagnosed my prostate cancer and did prostatectomy on March 5, 2025. Surgery couldn’t have gone any better. Thoroughly recovered in 5 weeks. PSA level less than 0.1 now. A big thank you to Dr. Vacchio.Bob D’Angelo

It’s always a good in person or telehealth appoint as Dr. Alabi always listens and will find a way to track down what is happening to me. She is very thorough.
