Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

One of the best Doctors at one of the best Centers
Dr. Enzinger is phenomenal. He is more than just a top doctor at one of the top cancer centers on the planet. He is well spoken, frank and honest, and has the intellect, education, experience, and resources that he needs to give you the best outcome possible. He and his team have saved my soulmate's life and given us precious time together. However many years that may be, we are eternally grateful. This would not have been the outcome had we not gone to DFCI and been lucky enough to be in Dr. Enzinger's care. Imagine how difficult it is to do what this man does every day. Yet he does it. If you are lucky enough to be seen at Dana-Farber and taken under Dr. Enzinger's care, you have the best chance that you can possibly have. We drive two hours each way and past more than a dozen hospitals and cancer centers for treatment.

Terrible. Dana Farber is not telling the truth about pancreatic / duodenum cancer because they are not a hospital. The cure is surgery. Chemo and other immunotherapy advances will treat the cancer but not cure it. The cure is surgery and then chemotherapy to make sure all cells are eradicated. Do not waste time with this place. You will only get chemo and be left to die. Go to a hospital that has performed the Whipple many times. They wasted a year of my young husband's life. If we had gone to MGH or Ohio State University he would have been alive this Christmas. Instead, my 6 year old grows up without her dad. Also, my husband was from Germany and a classically trained astro-physicist and he was disgusted and angry with them before his death. He did 26 rounds of chemo before they killed him. Don't be fooled.

He is an expert but unwilling to seek out alternative care. He's all about chemo. He is always late, every appointment was at least a half hour late, he also embellishes on the reports he writes things like I spent a half hour with the patient when in reality, he was in and out. We wanted to change doctors so bad but he was supposedly the best and it was the Pandemic. I wish we had.

Very rude doctor. Didn’t seem to care with no empathy. Changed treatment last minute. I wished I had changed doctors.

I am so thankful for Dr. Enzinger's care over many years. He is an expert in his field and I know that i am always getting the very best care possible in my fight against cancer. Dr. Enzinger is kind, caring, and has a wonderful sense of humor. His nurse practitioner is also excellent.
