Dr. Robert Uzzo, MD

A cancer diagnosis can be terrifying and confusing, and it’s important to advocate for yourself and seek out the best care possible. For me, that care was found 600 miles from home at Fox Chase Cancer Center. Dr. Uzzo and his incredibly kind colleagues and staff walked me through all of my options as a stage 4 kidney cancer patient. My questions and my family’s questions were answered thoroughly; we never felt rushed. Dr. Uzzo performed my surgery, and my entire experience at Fox Chase was exceptional. Everyone I came in contact with was compassionate and professional. There is no surgeon or cancer center that I would recommend above Dr. Uzzo and Fox Chase.

Years of EXCELLENT care

Dr. Uzzo came highly recommended. And after my wife’s surgery we know why. Very short recovery time and great outcome. He and his staff at Fox Chase made sure of that. After all we’ve been through we finally I had some thing work in our favor. We can’t thank him enough!

Compassionate & caring

Dr. Uzzo and his NP Jil Shrieber having been following me as a patient for 15 years. I get a chest X-ray and ultrasound every two years recently I was diagnosed with a lung mass. Dr. Uzzo had me an appointment the next day at Fox Chase with a thoracic surgeon. During my lung surgery, after 15 years, Dr. Uzzo and Jill Schrieber both visited me in the hospital checking in to see how I was doing. To me that says a ton that after 15 years Dr. Uzzo and his staff are still concerned about their patients well being. I was so impressed. I am so blessed to have such a caring and compassionate team of doctors at Fox Chase. I would recommend Dr. Uzzo hands down for any kidney related illnesses.

I was told that I had a cancerous cyst in an extremely difficult place to reach. i needed robotic surgery. Our urologist gave us the name of a surgeon. My husband, who wanted a second opinion, asked the doctor,"If it were you, who would you use?" He smiled and answered, "Robert Uzzo." After we checked him out, we called for an appointment, got one within two weeks and the rest was beyond our expectations. Dr. Uzzo is everything they say and more. His staff, is excellent as well. Six stars!+

What a wonderful, caring doctor. His staff guided me through everything when I was in a state of panic. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He and his team explained everything to me carefully and fully. I saw doctorS on a daily basis after my surgery. I had no pain; I didnt even take a Tylenol, and my scars are minimal. I’m ready to go in for my six month check, and I have had no issues at all!

Most definitely will and have recommended Dr. Uzzo to family and friends. He always takes his time to explain everything without giving any impression of being in a hurry. His appearance, demeanor and compassion are truly professional. In addition, his expertise in his specialty is clearly evident in his up to the minute knowledge, dexterity and gentleness in the practice of Urology. I recommend Dr. Uzzo to everybody including retired surgeons!

Having been diagnosed with kidney cancer and requiring surgery was not going to be the usual process due to complicating factors. I have emphysema and COPD and a blood disorder. Dr. Uzzo was more than equal to the task making sure everything was addressed. My surgery went without a hitch and recovery was quick and pain free. He is so knowledgeable and professional and I was treated with courtesy and kindness. I consider myself very fortunate to have Dr. Uzzo as my doctor.

Besides being an EXCELLENT surgeon, Dr. Uzzo is kind, caring, thoughtful, loving, and a sincere trusting man. It would have been a shame to have gone through life and never have met him. He cares about his patients. He saved my life and I am sure many others. He is a special person.

My experience with Dr Uzzo has been nothing but positive. His expertise is well documented but his personality helps to complete the package that embodies everything one hopes for in a specialist. My concerns about my surgery evaporated with our first meeting. My consultations have each included in-depth discussions and descriptions of any test results, scans, etc. I have never felt rushed. I absoluted recommend him to anyone without reservation.

Finding the right Doctor for my cancer required starting in the best place possible and Dr. Robert Uzzo and Fox Chase Cancer Center was definitely the right choice and fit for me. Dr. Uzzo first and foremost had the direct professional experience to help treat my cancer. His approach was focused, through, friendly and caring. Dr. Uzzo gave me the information that I needed to make an informed decision about the surgery that was needed to treat my cancer. He is simply the best at what he does.

My experience with Dr Uzzo was and is a feeling of confidence and compassion! He always answers any questions that I have and I thank him for the good life that I enjoy now! Dr. Uzzo will always have my thanks for his dedication Mark Gottlieb
